OH CANADA

So first I had a problem with America, now it is Canada's turn. And no it is not with the border crossing. Both times have been quite painless. I did feel sorry for the dog's nose as it sprinted onto the bus. Not for the frustration of knowing something was there, but not being able to find it (probably a bit like looking through my fridge at college), but man I have a cold and I still can smell men and old socks on this bus. Poor dog.

Now my problem with Canada. You talk to Canadians and they are so self-rightous about their superiority to America when it comes to commercialisation and what not. So what the hell is "Family Day"? We awoke this morning for a nice day off - buy some more gloves, socks, some decongestant, etc - to be told by the bus driver that EVERYTHING was closed bar one restraunt. Turns out it's a damn holiday created last year. Despite this, other than Christmas, it is the only holiday where everything closes. I spent my day off watching the worst, yet strangly hypnotic and amusing drumming instructional video ever.

Thanks a lot Canada.
