Things I've Learned so Far....

1) they got WAY too many traffic circles
2) they eat beans on toast for breakfast...talk about 'fuelling up'
3) when you see a street sign that seems to be pointing to go left, they might very well mean to go straight...or visa versa
4) they got WAY too many traffic circles
5) most pubs don't serve food after 6 pm
6) you have to know what your table number is when going up to order food
7) they got WAY to many traffic circles
8) no one gives a shit where you are from
9) in a 20 minute drive you feel as though you've completely turned around a good 20 times because....they got WAY to many traffic circles
10) if you take a wrong turn at some point there'll be a ...yes you guessed it...a traffic circle to turn you around again
11) the hot and cold water taps are ALWAYS seperate so you can either have your choice of freezing or piping hot water...no in between
12) men sucks as bad here as they do at home
13) it's impossible to get a suntan here
14) we shoulda rented a boat not a car
15) they got a hellovalotta sheep

Since you didn't mention it, I guess there must be aboot as many street signs in Canada as there are in Europe, eh? Just a lil universal Canuck-speak in case yer gettin' homesick. (:

But I am glad you are enjoying yourself hun.

Hi Bella! I found you! Also, they're called roundabouts and you can never have too many! ;)

Donnie said...

Well good for that, hon. But you waited a long time for this trip so try to not let Disney Princesses or traffic circles get to you too badly. MWAH!

There's a really great pub over there you should check out ... sounds close to where you are.... can't remember the name, but you can't miss it, it's right beside a traffic circle.
LOL...
You are funny and we are really enjoying the blog...
I'm wishing I were there with you guys...
I work with BlairM, please tell Trish that we are munching on an absolutely FABULOUS snack basket, and reading your blogs... keep the entries coming, it makes our day in purchasing much less boring...
Happy Trails !

-snickers- But just think beautiful, if we didn't have all those roundbouts (traffic circles) you would end up stuck on a cross-roads... You have to love us a little. We Brits don't understand the table number thing, we've just learnt to grab seats, then go and order... hehe
