Few people know this, but Tinkerbell is actually a Canadian.

Here we see Lisette and Jason giving the Thumb's Up to taking a drive to
Vancouver, British Columbia. Notice that even tho it is called "British
Columbia," it is neither in Britain nor Columbia. It's actually in
Canada. That's a fun geographical fact you can use at your next cocktail
party.

After we crossed the border into the Great White North, we saw this lovely
gas station, selling very Canadian gas for only 87.5 cents per litre! Those
lucky Canadians! (that's actually $3.31 cents per gallon. But it's Canadian
money, so it's actually $2.64 per gallon in American.) That was a fun Math
Trivia Section that you can quote at your next cocktail party.

In Canada rather than having 20 ounce bottles of Pepsi, they have 355 milliliter
bottles. According to Google, that's about 12 ounces. So they have their
can size in a bottle, and their bottle size in a...

Holy Bonanza! Look at the size of that bottle! 2 Litres! Have you ever heard
of something so crazy as a two litre bottle of soda!?

In Canada, rather than having a cell phone company such as t-mobile handle
the cell phones, they have volunteers that go by on rotation. When I was
in Canada, it was Roger's turn to keep things running. But I turned my phone
off after taking that picture to avoid roaming charges, so I can't offer
a first hand account of how well Roger was doing with it.

In Canada, instead of Freedom Fries, they have something called "French
Fries!" Those cooky Canadians make EVERYTHING French! And look at that
- they get dipped in Gravy!

Thumbs Up goes to "French Fries" with Gravy!

After dinner we crossed the border once again - although we almost didn't
get through because the border crossing guy that I looked suspiciously like
a Japanese guy posing as a Canadian pretending to be an American because
I offered to show him my student ID, and he tried to force Jason to bribe
him, but luckily we were able to beat up the guard and sneak into America
without having to pay him. Hooray! And there's Jason demonstrating how tired
we were after our trip to a Foreign Land.
The End
