Minimum five times a day I hear, "so, you're from the US?" Sometimes, I say yes and then do something really annoying, like complain about how my menu isn't made of gold. Other times, I say no - I'm from Australia and spit on the ground. When I do correct them and say Canada, I always get a strange look like it's some kind of scam I've got going. Sometimes I get a follow up question about if I speak French... you can see how stupid the whole thing is and why I'm getting sick of it.
Europeans are a conflicted bunch to begin with. They love American culture but hate Americans, which makes a strange kind of sense. It's like they've got a guilty crush on the United States, which is made even worse because the US doesn't have a fucking clue they exist. Until now...

Totally annoying are those who put the Canadian flag on their backpacks to endear themselves to locals and would-be banditos. By the by - hung out with Davis, Old Gregg and Sean A. on Saturday night after dining at the 5th best restaurant in Toronto according to Toronto Life. Sushi Kaji on a dingy, massage parlour strip of Queensway. Beautiful sushi - subdued atmosphere. Our saki slugging raised eyebrows.
People here think Canadians are flag crazy. This coming from people that celebrate birthdays by decorating rooms with a hundred small Danish flags. Speaking of birthdays, yours is tomorrow mister. Any big plans?
Civilized cocktails after work - can't wait to see the Barned. Ever since I nursed him back to mental health - he has been simply stellar. Mentioned my birthday to Timmy - and he said he had a guitar lesson. That's why I am very thankful of the Barnzey. On Wednesday we will be dining at Notto Bene on Queen St. I ain't never been there - they tell me it's nice. Booked the Opera hotel by the way - I think that'll work out best.
Yay, the Barned has gots its mental health back. Yay. Super news LB. Enjoy the cocktails.
I like his honesty in that speech however well planned and spin doctored.
My mental health is well intact after my young friend's(LBs) administering of booze, cigars and whatnots!
