I don't think there needs to be said anything more about Canadian. You are a perfect example.

[QUOTE=MikeyCB,Jun 24 2008, 03:19 PM] Club Super Sexe FTW


And for the Ohio nut who doesn't like the cold, when I left Toronto for WTD07 I had the top down and the weather was beautiful.

The Canadian side of Niagara Falls is a lot better than the American side.

[QUOTE=MikeyCB,Jun 23 2008, 06:52 PM]By no means am I saying the world hates the US, but it's very true that Canadians are stereotyped in a very positive light, resulting in better treatment in countless foreign countries.

Mikey, did you meet up with us in KY at Hooters for the caravan?

BTW, I haven't been to the ballet in Montreal in a while. I seem to remember a club called Ultra Sex.
We did go to the Hooters pre-meet, you're definitely referring to WTD07 right? I arrived with Motoo (Mocky) and Cheryl (Shareall) along with a couple other non-S2000ers. I was sad to miss it this year but I guess that's what I get for moving across the country

I believe what you say is very true about foreign opinion of Canadians being "OK" & Americans not "OK". I went to Vienna, Austria three years ago. We had a few instances where at the restaurants they basically didn't serve us(I.E. give us dirty looks & waitresses not coming to us after 30 minutes of sitting at a table looking at a menu). People at the pubs definitely gave us the cold shoulder. We ended up saying we were canadians at one pub. By the end of the night we were playing darts & drinking it up with locals like we were brothers.
That's pretty interesting! You guys were the same people, they just had to have a positive preconception about you to see it. Kind of a sad example of how people pre-judge, but I think we're all guilty of it at one time or another. ie. I see a 350Z owner and assume he's a bit of a prick till I get proven otherwise

canada sells milk in plastic bags, not gallon plastic bottles. PITA to pour yourself a glass.
I haven't seen plastic bag milk in 20 years

Technically our milk comes in 4L jugs. There are only 3.8L in a gallon... so we win!
