Nabila is a proud English Literature graduate from the University of Dhaka (DU) in Bangladesh. All the sweet memories of her youth are crystallized around DU campus \u2013 if only she could travel back in time to those days, she would! Nabila has two other realistic dreams, too! She wants to pursue a PhD in Creative Writing, and become the kind of writer everyone wants to read while sipping from their tea cups or coffee mugs.<\/p>\n

The day I arrived in Winnipeg was a hot summer day at the end of August. The moment I came out of the airport, a splash of hot breeze hit my face. I asked the university staff who came to pick me up, \u201cthis is the city of Winnipeg, right?\u201d just to make sure that the plane did not accidentally return to Bangladesh. I arrived in Winnipeg via St. John\u2019s though. St. John\u2019s was hot, too, at that time of the year, and it, too, shocked me. I was expecting Canada to be always cold! Even after living in St. John\u2019s for about a month or so, I was still expecting Winnipeg to be cold all year round \u2013 because what I had been warned about! The extreme opposite weathers between the two countries. Little did I know that the weather is only the first of the many similarities that would take me off guard in Canada\u2026<\/p>\n
