cleveland2

Cleveland reminds me of a cross between an american Hamilton and Ottawa, it's really nice there. A few things I learned while I was down there...
1. In the states ice tea is exactly what it says... ice... and tea... aka it's just cold tea
2. Shopping there (at least in cleveland) pretty much sucks... everytime we went shopping, the group I was with and I were always bored.
3. Everything costs the same... except it's american money.. boo!
4. They don't know what poutine is, don't use vinigar on their fries, call pop soda and if you ask for a coke... you'll just get any pop... and in my friend's case... orange juice. Also coke and pepsi to them is the same thing...
5. they play classical music in mcdonalds (hey, I like classical music... but that's weird)
6. Their elderly are a lot friendlier (unless they're in business suits then they're really snobby) and their teens look at you weird at the drop of a hat...
7. being surrounded by people tickling you on a coach bus (and having no escape) is no fun.
8. Spaz out and flail your arms everywhere while making funny sounds... and they eventually get scared and stop...ha
9. Their malls are filled with highclass stuff or really prissy girly stores... lets just say we found 3 interesting stores... and one of them was a bookstore.
10. Their TV is weeeeeeeeeeeeird... everytime there was a tv on in a store or restaurant it was flashing all these models in prissy clothing... :P
11. There are 10 times more black people in the States, I actually kinda wish there were more black people in Canada... or hamilton or whatever.
12. When you go on a school trip in the rock and roll hall of fame in order to get from one floor to another you need a chaperone! (load of crap!)
13. their advertisements... are odd... although the normal ones are very plain and boring.. but anyways -> there was one that said "please don't hug the cashiers"
14.it takes 15 seconds to get from the third floor to the first floor in the hotel we were in. (kaylene, megan and I counted because shane made a comment... yeah that's enough on that)
15. don't encourage justin to sing annoying songs... such as 99 bottles of beer... he won't stop until he's done.
16. LAST BUT NOT LEAST.. Americans CLEARLY do not know what smarties are. They're very confused and think that ROCKETS are SMARTIES when really they're rockets!
American "smarties" REAL (Canadian) Smarities
