The Differences between Chisasibi and the City
Community
There are quite a few differences between Chisasibi and the City, I noticed that almost immediately after I moved here.
The first one was in school, back home, everyone knew each other in school and here it’s the opposite.
I almost know nobody here, I only socialize with classmates and occasionally club members and that doesn’t even cover a fraction of the people in the school.
Transportation
In Chisasibi, everything is close, and you can walk from one side of town to the other in 45 minutes.
Meanwhile, as most people reading this might know, in the city you can’t walk everywhere and get where you want to go at a reasonable time. You would have to find a different means of transportation.
Whether it’s biking, driving or most commonly using public transportation. Public transportation was an annoying thing for me to learn how to navigate efficiently.
Culture diversity
I never got to meet people with different cultures growing up. Because of Chisasibi’s location, nobody really wants to move there so I didn’t get to meet a lot of new people growing up.
Before moving here, I only saw different cultures online. But after I moved, asking and learning about different cultures became one of my favorite things to do along with simply exploring the city.
