Going places for extended period of times can sometimes be wierd and uncomfortable. Sometimes, you have no idea where to go or what to do. Therefore, it is your responsibility to familiarize yourselves with your new enviroment or be a friend of someone who knows about this new strange enviroment.
My first week in Halifax, I found myself lost just about everyday! Passing my corner, following wrong directions, and acting tourist like all contributed to me being lost. Eventually, I came in contact with one of my old C.O.B friends and who happens to be enrolled in three of the same classes as me. Through him, I was taught a few things like where to eat, and what buses to catch. Also, he introduced me to other Bahamian students. Now i barely get lost! Why? Because I know people who can help me with what I need and directions to where I want to go.
Later on down the line, I joind the Dalhousie's Caribbean Connection where a group of Caribbean students (mostly Bahamians) meet as a group and discuss upcoming events and play games. Some of these events included Caibanza which is a formal dinner show, a ski day where we will go sking and so on.
This is just to say that no Bahamian should settle for being lost. We are similiar to Hiatians and Chineese. (We are almost everywhere) Therefore, find your brother, find your sister!! Mix, mingle, and help eachother out!
Peace
Kenwood!
Lolol...we are everywhere indeed!
