Typical Canada ... Or Vancouver...

Prepare for stop on a highway
Imagine, you are driving a car on a highway. You haven’t any bad thoughts, and then is there a sign over the highway… „Prepare for stop“… because few meters away is a light-sign for the traffic. In the middle of the highway… Holy crap..


Turn right.
The light-sign on the street is red, BUT when you will turn right, you are allowed to turn right.. Even though your light is red. Ok when there should be an accident it’s your false but.. Just imagine..

Laundry just with cold water... but after in the dryer..
Unbelievable for European guys… the laundry here is just done with cold water.. !!
The funny point on the whole story, after the water they hang up the cloths and when they are dry, they put it in the dryer -> its getting smoother than.. What the hell??



Canucks fans (eg. busses)
I ve never seen such fans like the canucks fans in Canada…. Every canucks fan car has little flags on the car. You can see in every second window of a flat the canucks flag.
And the best.. When canucks has a game, the buses have that printed on the bus…








Put 2$ in a machine for a drink for 1.95$ and get 1 back
I love out mashing in school.. You wana have a drink which cost 1.95 put 2$ in and you get 1 dollar back..


More star bucks blents and 7/11
If you wana meet a friend, never choose the point.. „Lets meet at star bucks“ the chance that you can get lost is great, because in every corner from every second block is a star bucks. The same with 7-eleven or Tim Horton’s…

6m (20feets) away from the door to smoke
I’m sooo happy here, in every restaurant it is non-smoking area… so the smokers has to go out.. But .. Not just out, they have to go 6m away from the entrance, that’s sometimes really difficult. When you go away for 6meter than you are too close to the next door, or on the street ;)

Line up in front of the bus
I have never seen that in our country… when they are waiting on the bus, the line up!!
And everybody us the front-entrance.. Nobody try to get in in the back …
And they LINE UP..!!!

If you wana have fresh- o’saft
Haha.. Open the freezer, open the can, and put the frozen stoff in a flagon and addition some water and the osaft is finish… !!!!

Night bus..
You’re so tired from outgoing, your only wish, catch the night bus and ride home..
You are sitting in the bus and you are sooo tired… but whets the message from the driver.. „We wana take a break… because of smoking“ .. And the driver leave the bus and will smoke a cigarette… unbelievable

Typical philipin -> what’s a knife??
During the dinner,.. Just use a spoon and a fork.. A knife what’s that??
Otherwise you have your fingers.. !!!
