The Metric System and other Canadian-ness

About six days of our trip was spent in Canada. It took us about 3.4 seconds to realize that things were a bit different north of the border.

Gas is very expensive. This means that it's $1.23 per LITRE. More than once, it cost us $100 to fill up.

Kyle thought this was cool. The speed limit here is 100...kilometers per hour. That translates to about 60MPH. Kyle and I got very good at the metric system. One kilometer = 0.6 miles.

Another difference? The drinking age is 19.

One day we ate at Brewster's Brewery. The food was excellent and Kyle liked the freshly brewed beer.

I had a few different cocktails, my favorite of which was the Butterfinger. It's Bailey's, butterscotch schnapps, and milk. It looks and tastes like chocolate milk...YUM! I also had a Bailey's and hot chocolate...I can tell that when I'm 21, Bailey's and I are going to be BFF.

So do Canadians say "eh?" a lot? Yes. they. do. All the time, in fact. We really liked Canada, the people up there are super friendly. The only drawback? Everything is much more expensive up there. When you convert it back to our money, it's about the same but it sounds crazy expensive.
