If you don't think there is any difference between Canada and America go to Niagara Falls. The difference between the two sides is huge. The American side is full of "Tourist Information" booths (a.k.a. commerical operators trying to mislead visitors) and really cheap and trashy motels. The Canadian side has a better class of shysters and trashy motels. (Not to mention the fact that they offer a better exchange rate on Canadian/US currency.)

Oh, Canada's different, but it's certainly not a whole new world. If you want difference, go to Québec. And honestly, I don't know why anybody would want to live further north all year round - New York's bad enough in the winter.

Why because its called having actual seasons. The bland moderate weather, of many southern spots, all year seems so boring. I like going form -45 in the winter to +45 in the summer and everything inbetween.

Hubby would love that. :rolleyes: He'd like nothing more then for me to tell him I want to move to Alaska. He's even willing to risk the 10 men for every woman thing and trust that I'd stay faithful. I'd rather live in Arizona myself. Sand is better then snow hands down!

Snow. Most definitely snow. Moderate climates are nice enough, and there's nowhere better to live than here, but it never snows. And I love snow.

Oh, you can find snow in Australia if you look hard enough. My sister lives in Mt Macedon, and it snows there sometimes -- occasionally, heavily enough that roads have to be closed, which is a great nuisance.

Completely in agreement. I'm thoroughly a warm-weather person, although I've lived almost my entire life near Chicago. Blame it on the tropical blood, I suppose. I've come to the serious realization in recent times that I refuse to spend the rest of my life in generally cold areas, and have also marked out Arizona as a potential area of residence for the future. Heat and humidity can be a bad combination, but I can take any amount of hot, dry weather.

EDIT: And once you've experienced snow for twenty winters, trust me, it gets old.

Pretty sure it is.

Which would mean that Canadians actually DO use Celsius, not Fahrenheit, raising them even further in my esteem. Do you use metric as well? :)

Sure I can -- if I don't mind crossing to the other end of the continent. No snow in Perth.

Snow. Please. I'm sick and tired of this "moderate" weather down here. Most year long 20-30 degrees. Sometimes 30-35 (40 maybe once a year). Rain or no rain. Bah.

Anybody wants to change places? Apply within.

(Incidentally: Why is Flanders so bad, Mind?)

Do you want Chicago, by chance? It's about as far from moderation in weather as one can get. Brutal in the winter, broiling in summer, and fluctuating wildly in spring and fall. Is it usually sunny in Venezuela? And dry most of the time? If so, I'm more than up for the switch.

Flanders is the most crowded place in Europa. The relief is also extremely flat, and the atmosphere is terribly polluted. At night, the sky is sickly yellow due to dense light pollution.

The weather is also extremely fluctuating here. In my insight, however, this is a positive thing.

Toronto rocks everyone.

Misconceptions:

-Toronto is a relatively small tourist trap compared to Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec City, even Vancouver.

-Toronto isn't just like America. Very much not. First, you'd have to dump a lot of garbage in the streets. then maybe.

Mind you it's a long trip from Port Lincoln

BTW, why do more Americans come to Australia than Australian's go to America? Easy, we are more fun :P :P

Because Australia has very few inhabitants, and because Australia is so far away from the rest of the world. Most Australians have a somewhat narrow world view.

Because Crocodile Dundee has enamored Americans. If you want rugged romance that's where you go.
