My multiculture shock

In December 2010 I arrived at Toronto Airport. It is my first impress that weather was very cold. It was -14 degree Celsius, but at same time it was 10 degree Celsius in my hometown. In the winter I couldn't do active outdoor so I feel such loneliness. In Canada I was newcomer, I didn't have relatives and fiends. I need fiends but I couldn't speak English. What could I do? What I could do was learning English! I went to LINC class in September 2012. After one year, not only I could write and I could speak simple sentences. It's OK? No! In this summer, my son took my wife and me to Montreal Quebec. The letters on All traffic signs are French in Montreal. We drove there and we ddidn't know French, so we followed a GPS. The GPS lost signal at a four way bridge. A four way bridge is where four roads go to different places over lap each other. We followed the wrong road. It spent about one hour that we found a correct road. That is Canada! Could you be shock like me?
