Where I am from, that 155 miles away translates as moving to another culture, another language, another environment, and becoming a stranger in a different land.
Fascinating! I moved 2091 miles from one side of the country to the other. The changes are more at the subcultural level but generally the culture remains similar throughout Canada (except perhaps Quebec, which is French).
Right on and happy trails in your new adventures.
We have so many languages, ethic and customs here that even moving just 50 miles away feels like a foreign place. I used to have a friend living in Quebec and was surprised they didn't speak English really well but french 🤣 thank you! I am definitely a lot more excited with this new adventure.
It's difficult to comprehend. We have cities where certain ethnic populations are predominant (e.g., South Asians, Chinese, Italian), but it generally feels like a single unique Canadian culture that happens to be mixed. Quebec is different and very interesting because of the French. I visited Montreal once, and it felt like visiting a different country.
