wow going from the islands to the cold of the midwest, that was probably an interesting transition! I am from Canada but I spent a year traveling and now am living in China for a little while

It was definitely a shock to the system! Not so much culture shock since I grew up completely immersed in Western culture...but the weather outside can be absolutely frightful hahaha.

I know that weather all too well! Before I left Canada I was living in the north and I couldnt stabd the thought of another -30 day. But I do miss the snow
