Fanta? Um....I think I heard of Fanta soda-pop (Over in Michigan we just call it pop. Unless you guys call it pop too!?)
Well, the first day of school wasn't bad. I was a bit tired, but managed it. I got pissed off that I got assigned homework on the first day! I have an idea.....let's talk more about these international differences. Let's make a list of it and describe it! Or not, but here's my list of stuff:
-Pasties!!!!!!! Oh yeah. These things are so good. I think they originated in Scandinavia, Britain, or the upper peninsula of Michigan but I'm not sure. They are meat filled pastrys/pies (Similar to the british Meat Pie) with vegetables in it. It is extremly unhealthy but also very delicious. Extremly popular in the north woods!!!! (A.K.A Ontario (Canada), Upper Michigan, Minnesota, Manitoba (Canada), and Upper Wisconsin.)
-Taco Bell. I think this is only available in North America. It's a fast-food restaraunt chain that serves Mexican food at a resonable price.
-THE GREAT LAKES OF THE USA AND CANADA! You guys are really missing out on the beauty of Lake Superior's coast-line! In my opinion it's one of the most beautiful extremly large lakes in the World! Beware of the November Superior rainstroms! Out on Lake Superior they have waves as tall as most ocean waves and can sink a thousand foot (About a 300 meter) cargo ship in November. This is coming from my own experiance from the storms. It's like an in-land hurricane. The waves are so choppy and cold that they rival the great North Sea's waves! I've had a very bad experiance when I got really, really drunk and went swimming in the northern part of Lake Huron in late November. The temperature was around 10 degrees farheinheit (-9 degrees celsius or something like that!) outside and the water had relatively large waves.
-The measurment system differences! God I hate this. I really don't understand why the U.S. has to be one of the three countries to use a different measurement system instead of using the standard meter, liter, gram, etc... system. (The actual name for the system has lescaped my mind for a second.) It's too damn complicated to have to translate farheinheit degrees into celsius degrees.
-Football. You would think there weren't two sports that have the same name but no! The US has to have another sport for it! (Which by the way in US football (Kind of like rugby in a way for all of those who never heard of it. It's like it except that protective gear is worn.)
-Soccer. Can anyone tell me what the word "Soccer" means anyways? Damn it we (Us Americans and Canadiens.) can't for some reason call Soccer football!
-Baseball. Nothing like going to a stadium to watch a baseball game. Get a great Ballpark hotdog a pop (Soda-pop), and some peanuts and watching your team hit a home run and the ball come soaring towards you! You guys are missing out on that too! Although I am missing out on Soccer games! Those look like you guys are having the time of your lives!
-Kool-aid. I exlained it already.
-Hmmm what else? I give up!
Sorry for taking up all your time just to read some pointless babbling. I can't help myself sometimes! Anyways I'm done.
