A few things from my recent travels
Things I learned while out of the country:
1. In Canada when the dude at the restaurant is telling you about the breakfast buffet it is apparently bad form to ask if they have Canadian bacon. I know this because I asked. He was not amused.
2. In Canada when the taxi driver asks where you are from and you say Ohio, the next question is "Oh, from Cleveland?" To which we respond in our best Swedish accent "Ja, we are from Cleveland."
3. In Canada when I try to fit in and throw "eh" in every now and then, they aren't amused.
4. In Canada when watching the Ohio State Buckeyes play football in a local bar, they didn't really get why I kept yelling "GO BUCKS." Course neither did they people I was with cuz it was mostly on commercials when I yelled.
5. A bottle of white wine at the hotel bar costs roughtly one million dollars. That's bullshit, eh!
6. In Canada apparently our tolerance for wine is much higher and we put that to the test!
7. In order to be a border guard you must have zero personality and even less sense of humor. I understand the need to be serious, but come on.
8. Walkie Talkies on road trips are key. Especially if the car you are following is watching Stripes on DVD. We got to hear all the key lines! Lighten up, Francis.
9. It is impossible to get the people in the car in front of you to either flash boobs or moon. Friggin' wusses.
10. If you go to enough wineries someone will eventually try to take your glass of wine and drink it. Just ask Dave.
