on my frankfurt-vancouver flight i had a very chatty seat neighbour... i think he spoke for a good third of the 10 hrs or more, but it wasn't annoying, actually kept me company...
and i found out a lot of facts about canada!!
for example:
* canadians are pretty harmless. they do have more weapons per inhabitant than in the usa... but they use them to hunt! like if you live in the northern territories you go out one day and shoot at a moose, put it under salt and have meat for the whole winter...
* you cannot smoke in the street if you're standing closer than 5 meters to the door af any public place. seriously!
* there is a valley in british columbia some 100-200 km east of vancouver where the weather is great, bec the perturbations coming from the ocean hit the rockies and shower all their rain over vancouver, and then the wind continues dry onto this valley. they grow any kind of fruit there for the whole state, and wine too. does this also explain why vancouver is way more rainy than victoria?!
* there is a small tiny island close to greenland which is contended between canada and danemark bec probably there are huge mineral resources beneath the ground. so when the canadian navy passes by takes away the danish flag, puts a canadian flag and leaves some canadian alcohol under it, and the same do the danish with their flag and alcohol... (am not really sure i understood the alcohol part correctly, sounds kind of gross!)
ok now i don't remember anything else... but i'll keep updating the post, i'm sure he said so much more...
