I didn't even bother going out that day.

Besides, do you really blame Americans for thinking it's usually cold in Canada? Look where you are geographically. I think it'd be worse if you overheard an American in December saying, "Oh wow! It gets cold up here?" And either way, it never gets as hot up there as it does in the dirty south, for example. To make matters worse, we have humidity down here so thick you can feel your body cutting through the moisture as you walk down the street. Canada's heat is at least dry heat, like out in California or the west coast, and it only comes for a few months a year, at a lesser degree. Let me put it this way - it's too hot for me to even play basketball outside. I've got to go to indoor gyms most of the time because I'd die of exhaustion playing outside in this southern humidity. It's just brutal.

What island did you go to ?</div> Sorry for the late reply, I just had dinner. Anyway, I went to a few places there. My trip started in Puerto Rico and then after a few hours there I left for the Caribbean islands. First we visited Saint Croix and Saint Kitts. After that we moved on to Martinique, which was in fact the first French soil I stepped foot on. Haha! I went diving there and got close to rays and tropical fish before heading back on the tourist boat with the cool natives and got drunk off of their delicious fruit rum. After that we headed to Montserrat and then finished around the US and British Virgin Islands. I think we went to more places then this, but I can't actually recall all of them by name. I believe we may have even stopped by Guadeloupe. It was fun, but really damn humid. The best part was a bus tour up a small mountain, which I believe was a volcano.
lol, I hate when people get surprised at how hot it gets up here too. You'd think all of Canada got Winnipeg-like winters, based on how people talk. Toronto isn't as hot as most of the southern places you guys live at, but the one thing I hate is the smog. It hasn't been as bad this year, but some times its just chokes you. I remember a couple of summers ago they had 2-3 smog warnings a week. Brutal. <div class="quote_poster">Quoting Karma:</div><div class="quote_post">He also constantly put me in an awkward position because his accent was so thick that I couldn't understand anything he was saying some of the time, but yet I had to keep on nodding (and sometimes smiling). At the beggining I kept saying "pardon", but I still wouldn't understand when he'd repeat whatever it was he said so after a while I just gave up. That's probably one of the more awkward parts of my life, when you talk to someone and they either mumble, you don't understand them, or you don't hear them and they start laughing and you're stuck thier trying to figure out what they just said.</div> lol, I was in the exact same situation last year. Everyone I worked with was either from Trinidad or Jamaica. I remember on my first day, this dude was training me and I could barely understand a word he was saying. I ended up messing up my foot, because I was moving the fridges around incorrectly. The cool thing is that after a while you get used to it. By the end of the summer I could understand everything and even knew a little patois.

I'm sure if those "ignorant Americans" thought it was cold year round in Canada then they thought it was cold year round in Buffalo too. Once you get above like northern Kentucky, it gets pretty chilly in most months of the year.
I remember when I went to Syracuse it was pretty brick, much colder than it was in the city. Speaking of upstate, there was a time when I was strongly considering going to Niagara University.
The Niagara area is really poor these days, good choice that you skipped out on that college. A couple of friends of mine from NY grew up over there.
I'm thinking of applying to Dalhousie for law school (its a couple years away, but I need to start planning). Nova Scotia would be real cool. Always wanted to go to the Maritimes, but never really had the chance.

Alright enough humidity talk, lets get this thread back to pre-pubescent dick and fart jokes along with random Umair-based shenanigans like it was meant to be. Pringles are like crack. Every night I feel like some salty ass junk food and crave Pringles specifically, only the original flavor though. They're so delicious, simple yet perfect, salty orgasm in my mouth. When I have the munchies they're my snack of preference, mostly because of the taste but partly because it amuses me that its in a can and I can carry it and not crush the chips in a clumsy, baked out incident. I got a haircut today and now I look like an ass. Gotta make sure not to meet any ladies for the next two weeks or so before my hair starts oozing sexiness again. God forbid they get their first impression of me like this and think I'm some kind of special ed kid.
