Goodbye Canada

We had a great time in Canada - so many good memories and nice people we met.

Special thanks to Fred for having us stay at his house in Montreal - what a champion.

But, There's a few things about Canada that I found annoying, so... out with it:

1. Cheese.

I mentioned it before, I know, but the Cheese in Canada is terrible. The saving grace was being in Montreal where the French Canadians (and especially those in Montreal's Little Italy) have good cheese.

2. Pennies.

Really, I don't care. Round it up or down to a dime for all I care. They waste time and space. And they're dirty too.

3. Prices Plus Tax.

Why can't prices be listed with tax included? Sure some people might want to compare the price in Vancouver to Calgary.... they can figure it out... I'm not going all the way to another Province to get groceries. It's impossible to get cash out to pay for anything because you don't know how much it will be. Gggrrrrrr.

4. Paying to receive phone calls.

This is ridiculous. I'm sure not all phone plans have this, but come on!!! The guy making the call is paying for it! Why do I have to pay as well?!?

5. Bank Fees.

Just too expensive. What can I say?


Apart from those things, Canada is an amazing country, with lovely people. I highly recommend it and look forward to going there again some time (except for the above-mentioned).
