Things I'm learning about Canada

Entrees here are called appetisers ("appies", if you will, ugh) or starters, and mains are called entrees. The first menu I looked at caused me great confusion... where were the mains?

The 10 cent piece is smaller than the 5 cent piece. This is just silly.

Sultanas are called raisins. Sultana is a brand of raisin here apparently.

You can turn right when you have a red light, except when you are in the city of Montreal.

A biscuit is a cookie and scone is a biscuit.

If you say "seeya later" here apparently people take you literally.

Before you get too excited about the price of food on any menu, add on tax and a tip.

They are behind us with the Doctor! Sucked in Canada.

There is lots of awesome food here, much to my joy and dismay. Self control, where are you?

You can't escape Aussies anywhere. They have spread the length and breadth of the globe.

"self control where are you?" Not at my house, I can tell you that right now.

oh yeah, to sort out the Doctor issue, go to the abc website and check out the iview option. Just catch up online! Unless internet connection sucks in Canadia, which I did hear was the case a couple of years ago. Hopefully they've caught up...
