25 Surprising Differences Between Canadians and Americans
It seems fairly logical that people from different countries, with their different climates and different cultures, should be different! What seems strange though is that people whose countries are only separated by a border, like North America and Canada, should be soo distinct. Here are 25 Weird differences between Americans and Canadians.
1. Americanised
In Canada, different races and cultures mix together without losing their identity, whereas in America, different races and cultures tend to blend together and become more American
2. Local Shopping
Canadians on the whole, shop locally and online shopping is minimal, America is almost the complete opposite, people buy something online even though the shop down the road may sell it.
3. Society
Canadians generally look for community and safety in numbers, and Americans are more likely to adopt an "Each to his own" attitude.
4. Problems
Americans know their country has its problems but they prefer to view them as Issues or quirks. Canadians think Canada is perfect.
5. Let it out
Americans aren't afraid to show their feelings and shout if they have to, Canadian's don't like to make a scene, and prefer to avoid confrontation.
6. Flags
Canadians love an excuse to get their country's flag out, Americans never seem to put theirs away.
7. Higher Education
Canadians a serious about their education and 53% of Canadians have a college education, which is vastly superior to the US number of around 35%.
8. Politics
While most Americans don't trust the government, Canadians actually trust their government and most are happy with how it works.
9. Conformity
Not unlike a lot of Europeans, Canadians have a fear of standing out, and generally prefer to be part of the crowd, Americans don't seem to have this fear and tend to be a little loud.
10. A bag of milk
Some places in Canada sell milk in bags, although other countries in Europe, Asia, and South America do this also, in the US it would be considered odd.
11. Patriots
Canadians are proud of the country they live in, but Americans tend to be prouder of the state they live in rather than the country as a whole.
12. Choices
Canada has 5 main political party's to choose from. None of these parties is extreme and all fall either left or right of center. America has more of a coin flip situation where you have left or right, or red or blue.
13. 1812
Most Canadians know about the 1812 war and will tell you how America failed to invade Canada. Most Americans don't know anything about this war.
14. Language
Canada has 2 official languages, English and French, the US has no official language and each state decides which language it wants to adopt.
15. Passive Aggression
Canadians generally opt for the passive-aggressive option, Americans do to but US Passi

10-reasons-why-you-need-to-visit-cyprus
Get more Tips here! http://www.destinationtips.com
Divide your time between the island’s rich cultural history and beaches so beautiful you’d be hard-pressed to find their equal anywhere else. There are dozens of reasons to spend some time bumming around Cyprus; here are some of the most compelling.
1. It’s Bright and Sunny All Year Long
The island of Cyprus averages about 326 days of sunshine a year. That means that even in the dead of winter, you’ll be greeted by bright sunshine pretty much every day.
2. Beaches of All Kinds
Cyprus is home to a variety of different beaches. Rocky inlets and white sand beaches are scattered across the island. Even better, no matter where you drop your beach towel, you’ll have the opportunity to wade into the cleanest water in all of Europe.
3. But It’s Not All Beaches
Cyprus is also home to Mediterranean forests that house some plants that can’t be found anywhere else, the Cyprus cedar and the Cyprus oak among them. More than 125 local plants can be found in the island’s lush forests.
4. Hit the Town and Have a Blast
Each one of the island’s six, large cities has its own nightlife and each one is worth checking out. Will you hit the clubs in Limassol or push it to the limit in Ayia Napa. Every flavor of nightlife in Cyprus is a ton of fun; all you need to do is find the one that’s right for you.
5. The Food Is Amazing
Halloumi cheese is a delicacy. Cyprus also does its own version of souvlaki (which is tasty grilled meat and vegetables). For a snack, stop and grab a Koubes — it’s basically a hush puppy stuffed with minced meat and spices. There’s really no end to the rich, delicious offerings on the tiny island.
6. The Booze Is Incredible, Too
The national drink is known as a Brandy Sour. The cocktail is a heady mix of Cypriot brandy, lemon squash, some Angostura bitters, and a splash of soda water. If you fancy wine, Cyprus is home to the world’s oldest wine, Commandaria.
7. You Can See the Whole Island in One Trip
It’s possible to set up camp pretty much anywhere on the island and then take short day trips to see whatever tourist spots you’d like to see. Nowhere on the island is more than 3 hours away from anywhere else, so you’re always near wherever you want to be.
8. Cyprus Is Very Safe
Cyprus is considered extremely friendly. Sure, in the urban areas you have to be on the lookout for a small amount of expected crime (pickpocketing, that sort of thing), but Cyprus is still considered one of the safest destinations in all of Europe.
9. ‘Quaint’ Doesn’t Begin to Cover the Architecture
The towns and cities that dot the island of Cyprus are a thrill to simply walk through. If you do manage to find yourself winging your way toward Cyprus, make sure to spe

10-things-not-to-do-in-hong-kong
Get more Tips here! http://www.destinationtips.com
There are plenty of websites out there telling you what to see and do in Hong Kong. However, to experience the city at its fullest, you’ll also need to know what to avoid. Here’s a list of things NOT to do in Hong Kong.
1. Don’t Spit
Spitting is just not considered rude in China. Some believe it helps ward off evil spirits. However, cross over to Hong Kong and it is prohibited to spit in public. In fact, you can be fined up to HK$5,000 for doing so.
2. Don’t Assume Hong Kong is as Free and Open as the West
Despite it embraces more legal freedoms than the People’s Republic, some believe that e-mails are being monitored and Internet censorship is happening. Travelers should be aware of these rising tensions and be cautious about engaging in politically charged communications.
3. Don’t Overpay at Street Markets
Hong Kong offers a vast range of exciting street markets where you can buy just about any type of consumer good imaginable. Learn the art of haggling, you will often be able to buy things for little over half the asking price.
4. Don’t Take Taxis
It is an unnecessarily expensive way to get around, and it can take a long time to get anywhere through the gridlock. Instead, try using the efficient and affordable Mass Transit Railway, buy an Oyster Card if you’re going to use this several times.
5. Don’t Bother With the Sky Terrace
Instead of going to popular and overpriced tourist traps such as the Sky Terrace, consider the top of The Peak Galleria mall, it is free and the crowds are nil, also try Central Plaza, the Bank of China, Two IFC and One Island East.
6. Don’t Take the Peak Tram
The Peak is undoubtedly one of the best vantage points in Hong Kong, but taking the overpriced, over-crowded tourist tram up to the top isn’t the only way up there. Instead, if you’re fit, consider hiking up the hill using the designated footpaths.
7. Don’t Underestimate the Language Barrier
If you need to ask anyone for directions, try to find younger people to help, since they’re more likely to speak English. Taxi drivers rarely speak English, so have a map or written address on hand to convey where you want to go.
8. Don’t Forget about the Entry Requirements
Hong Kong has its own entry requirements. Citizens of the US and most western nations do not need any visa to visit Hong Kong for a period of less than 90 days. However, if you want to go to Shenzhen or other parts of mainland China, you will need a separate visa.
9. Don’t Bring Chinese Currency
While China uses the Yuan, Hong Kong still uses its own currency; the Hong Kong dollar. Although you shouldn’t have any problem changing money anywhere in the region. If you’re arriving via mainland China, you�

most-luxurious-motorhomes-to-protect-you
Since the pandemic, our way of life has changed in many ways. Social distancing and social bubbles, transport and travel restrictions, and social and cultural restrictions. But instead of just stopping all activity, we've found new and safer ways to work, so perhaps instead of just avoiding travel or vacationing, we should be looking for better ways too. Here are the Most Luxurious Motorhomes for Your Next Holiday.
1. Vario Alkoven 1200
This Motorhome comes with its own garage, which is rather handy when you think about it.
A motorized satellite dish and motorized extendable living area. Two leather 3 seater sofas, fully-equipped kitchen with dishwasher, a pop-up TV, and a dining area. A bathroom complete with shower, a bedroom with a king-size double bed, and an auxiliary bed with cupboard space. The price depending on the extras, around $1 million.
2. EleMMent Palazzo
Ok, from the front it may look like a stormtrooper's helmet, but this luxury motorhome has been dubbed the "Land Yacht".
It comes with a cocktail bar and lounge with skylight, A master bedroom with a king-sized bed, a sitting room/dining room with a flat-screen TV, a fully equipped kitchen, Heated flooring, a BBQ grill station, and an elevating sun lounge on the roof. it's available in 2 colors, the stormtrooper white or "Daft punk" helmet gold. the price tag is around $3 million.
3. Furrion Elysium
Rather than its own garage, the Elysium has got its own helipad! It's basically a luxury apartment with a fireplace, a massive flat-screen TV, a bathroom with a shower and steam cubicle, a double bedroom, a fully equipped kitchen with a refrigerator, dishwasher, and wine fridge. In the cockpit, the driver has touchscreen controls and a high-end leather seat. up the illuminated staircase is a helipad with a Robinson R22 mini-helicopter which descends into the bedroom during transport, a sundeck, and even a hot tub. the price tag including the helicopter... $3.5 million.
4. Tiffin Allegro Bus 45
More like a motor mansion than a motorhome, the Allegro bus has an outside flat-screen TV. Inside the driver's seat looks more like a lay-z-boy, plush leather furniture, a fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, full-size refrigerator with icemaker and plenty of pantry space, and a toilet and basin just off the kitchen. it also has a double bedroom with a kingsize bed, a flat-screen TV, and fully adjustable lighting. A full-size bathroom with double vanity, toilet, and marble tiled shower with skylight. And finally, a walk-in wardrobe fitted with a washer/dryer and even a safe.
The price tag? around $600,000, depending on additional extras .

WHY S
why-switzerland-is-the-most-perfect
Outstanding scenery, incredible railways, a rich history and culture, and the balance of traditional celebrations with modern festivals. Here are 7 reasons why Switzerland may just be, The Perfect Country.
1. Perfect To Visit All-Year-Round.
Generally, the majority of locations are best to visit at specific times of the year:
Beaches in summer, Skiing in winter, tropical countries in the dry season, and tourist hot spots in the off-season.
But Switzerland is different, its climate is everchanging, in one valley it could be raining and in the next, sunny and warm.
Snow-capped mountains in winter, the Alpine bloom in spring, Mediterranean summers, and the beautiful orange and blue contrast in Autumn.
Switzerland is perhaps the only country that is beautiful all year round.
2. Pacifism and Language.
Switzerland is known for staying neutral and avoiding conflict but this isn't just the country's political view, it is also the sentiment of its people.
This is because over two-thirds of swiss people are bilingual and more than a quarter speak three or more languages, and it is scientifically proven that multilingual people, in general, are more tolerant and understanding of others.
3. Inventive.
Thanks to its relatively cheap and high-quality education system and its neutrality during the world wars which attracted some of the most intelligent people of the time, Switzerland is a land of intelligence and invention.
27 noble prize winners in physics, chemistry, and medicine, Einstein developed his E=MC2 formula in Switzerland, they founded the red cross (whose symbol is the swiss flag inverted), they also invented Velcro, aluminium foil, white chocolate, milk chocolate, hazelnut chocolate, muesli, the computer mouse, the LCD projector, the turbocharger, and many others including, of course, the swiss army knife.
4. Diversity and Culture.
Switzerland doesn't just celebrate its own culture, it also celebrates the influence its neighboring countries' cultures have had on it. It has over 600 museums, it maintains its historic railways and funiculars, its medieval architecture, and thermal baths but also hosts the Geneva motor show, the International balloon festival, the Montreux Jazz Festival, and the International street artists festival.
5. Quality of life.
Living in Switzerland is expensive... but not for the Swiss!
The average wage is over $100,000 a year, compared to $60,000 in the US.
and yet University tuition fees are just $1000 a year when in the US, they're around $25,000.
Switzerland has just 6.6% of the population living on the poverty line compared to 11.4% in the US.
According to the Happy Planet Index which is based on life expectancy, well-being, and ecological footprint, Switzerland placed 4th, the US, 122nd!
6. It's Green.
Switzerland is very green, and we're not just talking about its alpine meadows.
It's actually one of the world's leaders in recycling and waste management, it recycles over 90% of all glass and tin cans, and over 80% of all steel and plastics, in fact, they don't dump any waste in landfills, all organic waste is composted and of other waste, 50% is recycled and the other 50% is incinerated and converted into energy.
7. It's Record-Breaking
Home to the world's longest staircase, 11,674 steps and 1,669 meters tall.
It also boasts Europe's highest railway station at 3,454 meters.
The world's longest train tunnel at 57km, the world's highest gravity dam at 285 meters, the world's steepest cogwheel railway, the world's scariest suspension bridge, the world's only peak-to-peak suspension bridge, and the world's largest machine, The Hadron Collider.
Do you think Switzerland is the best country?
