Haha nice.

I've been to Canada :) I went to Scarborough... and Mississauga? Oh gosh I'm terrible at spelling. I have quite a few relatives over there actually :D.
A stack of cousins, my mum's sister and her family and my mum's older brother(who is also my godfather) and his family. And a great uncle in montreal.

Which also means I have been introduced to Tim Horton's and thought awesome double choc donuts :) [though I went at christmas so i couldn't see any ice hockey games]

My mum 'surprisingly'.. not.. is continually harping on about wanting to move to canada. Hehe, but that will never happen.
Actually when my parents and I were migrating (when I was a tiny little thing) they had an option of Canada or Australia. My Dad preferred the warmer climate. Weird or what? I could have been living nearly half way across the world... okey dokey I should really stop typing and get to sleep XD!

Really whats it like? The farthest west I've been in Edmonton - and even then I only ever see the inside of West Edmonton Mall for long weekends. Although the damn thing takes about four days to get around anyway... and you're not terrible at spelling.
You have more relatives here than me then. I have a grand total of zero. Most (read: all immediate family) are in the North of England with possibly a dozen second cousins in Austrailia (I think somewhere around Brisbane) and one in Jordan of all places.
I worship the very ground Tim Hortons are built on. Between steeped tea, the double choco glazed donuts and mint chocolate ice cap supremes - its a miracle I have money at all. Honestly I'm not all 'ra ra hockey - kill them' until you get me watching the World Juniors or the Vancouver Canucks in the Stanley Cup playoffs. I'm more of a football girl.
If I had a choice I'd have chosen Australia - I usually threaten to move there every other week as well, it trades of with New Zealand (and damn admitting that on my Canada Day post feels blasphemous.)

Hahaha. Aussies always make fun of the kiwis. and their sheep. it's about their population. I think the joke is there's more sheep that people ;)

sorry what's what like?
:) did you mean Australia? well in general quite hot. But to get an idea of our seasons think of yours backwards. So when you're rugging up in winter and ice skating and eating...I don't know.. turkey? Or is that just an american thing?

everyone over here is heading for the beach because it's most likely 30+ degrees celcius. we're eating salad,ice creams having barbecques.

So right now it's been quite cold. may-june-july even august are our cold months.

It's so weird. not a bad weird of course. but apart from beer people are not really attached to beverages. Gloria Jeans is kind of popular with coffee but there is no customer loyalty like there is in the US and Canada for Tim H's and Starbucks. We just buy our coffee wherever. (by we I mean people who drink coffee. I don't drink coffee. I'm more of a hot chocolate junkie + marshmellows ;D )

For sport the biggies have to be:

Cricket

Rugby league - like america's NFL - minus all the chunky padding and the helmets. it's awesome to watch.

Rugby Union - similar to league but there are a few major differences

AFL (Australian Footbal League)
- think NFL ... but very different- have you read 'So Much to Learn' or Public Lives and Private Property' on fiction press? Well apart from being awesome stories it mentions AFL there.

Eh no whats' Ontario like - I've never been at all. Although I have - I think - flown over it on my way to England.
Nah Canada has turkey - considering the border between here and the US we kind of adopted it (I think). Although Canadian Thanksgiving is in October not November.
Okay its the summer here and the weather hasn't been nice enough to barbecue lately. ;)
Oh yeah its pretty much battle lines drawn here. You're either Tim Hortonian or a Starbucker - only both if you know people who hate the other one but everyone has a preference.
I'm a life long caffeine addict, I used to scoot around as a baby - since before I could walk properly - stealing the coffee dregs I found in the cups! But I do love me some hot chocolate, nothing better during the winter.
In Canada (BC in particular)sports are pretty much revolve around:
Hockey, at any level...hockey games are synonymous with Tim Hortons. Specially when you have to get up for at 4 am for practice.
American style football, probably because it fills up hockey's off-season. I don't see the point I mean the amount of padding they wear is just beyond a joke - that and the skin tight pants...
Baseball for some.
and ironically not Lacrosse so much despite the fact its Canada's official summer sport. It is however brilliant to play.

No one I know knows what cricket is its horrible, I watch Rugby when I catch it on telly - I love it and I think I've watched a couple games of AFL but its never on the sports networks here and I don't know the rules at all. (Have read those stories though - awesome they are at that.)

I hate cricket. people get annoyed at me sometimes because they think its weird to not love that sport. I find it useless and boring not to mention very long winded XD
Even if they were nice-looking, I wouldn't want to watch them stand on an oval for five days. my attention span only lasts for so long.

Haha actually the short shorts rugby places wear are also quite questionable. If a girl wore those length shorts out in public she'd get a few dirty looks. Yeah I'm not totally together with the AFL rules either. in my state we're mostly about rugby league.

AFL is quite popular but I don't really watch their games. Though a few of my friends and I have come to a unanimous agreement that AFL players and better looking than league players :)

League: shorter- heavier set- mainly because that's the way the game requires them to be

AFL: younger (bonus points)- taller- leaner- just in general the majority are better looking ;D

Yes the stories are awesome :) :) How cute was that ending/epilogue for PLPP?

Its not so much that I enjoy watching cricket (playing it is only fun when I accidentlly hit other people!) its just I'm sick of having to explain what it is - and that it does in fact exist and is in fact a sport - to other people.
Yes but add to those questionable pants a major amount of shoulder padding and well things just are NOT in proportion. (Admittedly despite my hatred of this sport I'm still addicted to 'Friday Night Lights' [I'll watch anything for Taylor Kitsch].)
I usually just know which teams have won and which haven't when it comes to hockey. Not so much anymore as its no longer shoved down my throat by high school classmates. Sadly hockey are not all that attractive in my honest opinion. Although Sidney Crosby is the exception to this rule - the boy has a killer smile for a hockey player. But yeah better looking always equals to bonus points!

I think the ending was wonderful. Everyone ended up happy in the end. I'm a sucker for those kind of finishes.
