From Turkey to Canada

The first time I came to Canada I had a house and the feeling was different because in Turkey I had an apartment. The first time when I came into my house in Canada it was at night. We didn't have much stuff because we didn't unpack things out of our bags. We had food in our house because friends had already added food. For sleeping, it was not that good because we didn't have beds yet to sleep in. We had to have a blanket at the bottom and at the top so sleeping was not that good. And we had no internet so no tv and phones and tablets had to have some offline games to play with or a phone had to have data. Now we do have a couch, tv, internet, beds, and so much stuff now! The things in Turkey we brought here are stuff like my pink teddy bear, clothes, blankets and so much more! These make our new house in Canada feel like home. What about your home?
