Some 'interesting' questions from our friends around the globe considering a visit to Canada. Now that Vancouver has already hosted the 2010 Winter Olympics, these were some questions people from all over the world were asking. Believe it or not these questions about Canada were posted on an International Tourism Website. Obviously the answers are a joke; but the questions were really asked!
Q: I have never seen it warm on Canadian TV, so how do the plants grow? (England)
A. We import all plants fully grown and then just sit around and watch them die.
Q: Will I be able to see Polar Bears in the street? (USA)
A: Depends on how much you've been drinking.
Q: I want to walk from Vancouver to Toronto - can I follow the Railroad tracks? (Sweden)
A: Sure, it's only Four thousand miles, take lots of water.
Q: Are there any ATM's (cash machines) in Canada ? Can you send me a list of them in Toronto, Vancouver, Edmonton and Halifax? (England)

Just a cheap shot at my American fiance ;) that's the hockey spirit in me! I'm eventually going to be Canadian American, and start watching football games with him, go USC!!
But at heart I will always be a Canadian girl!
Congratulations to our women & men's Canadian Hockey team,
to all Canadian Olympians,
and all Olympic participants from around the world.
Truly an Olympic experience to remember for all time.

Phuong & I have been long distance for a little over 5 years. I look forward to the day, where we can wake up in the morning eat pancakes, come home from work, and say "honey, I'm home."

Vancouver is a city of rivers and bridges, so you never have to drive too far to see water. Ironically enough, the heart of downtown is located at the upper end of the city. Consequently, few guests will have to drive south to get there. They'll most likely cross either the Burrard, Granville, or Cambie Street or they can follow good-old Highway 1 (west) and break west at the Grandview exit. Our church ceremony will be held on July 24 at 3 p.m. at Holy Rosary Cathedral, on the corner of Richards & Georgia. I haven't seen the pews in person, but the photos on the internet look impressive. From there, we will move to the Roundhouse Centre at the corner of Pacific & Davie, which is located less than a mile from the church. It goes without saying that downtown parking can be an adventure, so people have the option of parking at the Roundhouse (there's an underground garage) and taking the Skytrain (which actually runs underground) to the church. It's bound to be the most lively Skytrain crowd since the Olympics, lacking only those spontaneous mass recitals of "Oh Canada."
