Vancouver, BC (That's In Canada You Know):

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

Lisette and Jason
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.

Canadian gas
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.

355 ml pepsi
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...

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.

French Fries with Gravy
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 to Fries with Gravy
Thumbs Up goes to "French Fries" with Gravy!

Jason
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.
