Well, my lovely American friends, I’m here to tell you that your country is not the only one that celebrates a special day to honour your nation. We do it too! Every July [...]

Backpack or Suitcase?

March 3, 2010

I was really shocked to read in the comments on Monday’s post that some Americans, when traveling internationally, said they were Canadian because otherwise people would be rude to them and attack them with questions and accusations about their country.

I have to admit, I did grow up hearing a lot of American [...]

We were meant for this

March 1, 2010

Today’s Monday Meeting post has been postponed until tomorrow as I want to talk about the Olympics!
**************
I am so sad the Olympics are over. I’ve absolutely loved watching them for the past 17 days.
I know a lot of people hate the “I Believe” song (I actually really like it) but you can’t argue with this [...]

According to Google Analytics, the majority of my visitors are coming from the United States and Canada, with the United States pulling ahead by about 400 more visitors a month.
Even though Canada and the United States are neighbours and have a very similar “North American” culture, they are also very, very different.
I’m not even going [...]

December 29, 2009

{Image found here}
This post on Vitamin G a couple of weeks ago really sparked my interest. It’s about the great “Shoes-off vs. Shoes-on” debate and talks about how germs are on our shoes but they are ALSO on our feet so taking our shoes off when we go to someones house will not prevent germs [...]
