On a somewhat opposite view: Weird things about Canada (or at least Ontario): - The toilet is in the same room as the shower and the sink. (granted I've seen this in some places in Europe too) [/ QUOTE ] HUH!?!?!?!?!?!?! Where have you been where this isn't standard?

[/ QUOTE ] Think I've mentioned enough times in this thread now that I'm Belgian? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] The vast majority of places I have lived in or visited there tend to have the toilet in it's own seperate room. This may be a sample size thing but out of all my friends and families homes I've been to (roughly 40 homes) only 2 had the toilet in the bathroom.

Re: Weird Things about Europe
[ QUOTE ]
Canadians are more civilized than Americans, except for the weird habit of traveling with visible Canadian flags all over their clothing/hats/backpacks. This is not civilized. [/ QUOTE ] Canadians do this because they believe they will be treated poorly if they are mistaken for Americans. Adding Canadian flags to everything is a standard pre-trip task. Canadian travellers are very concerned that some Americans also do this to pose as Canadians.

people were just as sour in Paris or any other major european city I've been to with the exception of maybe London. [/ QUOTE ] With the exception of London? London is renown (in the UK) for being impersonal and unfriendly.

They know if someone you don't know talks to you, they're from out of town, or just weird. If a tourist talks to you, you talk back politely.

Something that's rather weird about Belgium, Holland and I think France to Americans is that we eat raw hamburgermeat. [/ QUOTE ] Odder still is that (at least in Holland) they call this "filet Americain"

[/ QUOTE ] This reminds me of a trip to London, with a friend, when we were 16 year old little punks. The weather was nice, everybody was very polite, but we couldnīt find a single place to sit down and smoke some hash since we met a cop (aka "bobby") at every single damn corner. . Edit: This thread amazes me with its revelation how weird america is. You arenīt allowed to drink beer in public over there?
