Yeah, funny isn't it?
I was in Lake Placid over the holidays skiing Whiteface. In the gondola, we mentioned we were from Toronto, and we were asked why we did not drive over to Whistler? They did not believe us when we said it was about 3000 miles! They thought Canada was a small country! When I pointed out it is larger in area than the continental US, and second only to the area once called the USSR.....blank looks!
We also cam across people who asked if we have paved roads, malls, and why we would live in a place were July had snowfalls. It was -15 F, and someone suggested that "You must be enjoying this heat wave from your normal temperatures"!!!
No offense intended to thse UNLESS you actually believe the above items to be true!
IMO
