Some basic things to know about Canada?

*waves vancouver*

trying describe canada in specific rather difficult - canada second largest country in world [russia largest, usa third] , there every sort of climate , terrain arctic tropical rainforest prairie mountainous... of should expect depends on going. provinces speak english, again dependant on destination going quebec french you'll hearing mostly.

"i don't want seem rude or canadians."

i'll offer possible in direction.

canadian laws , society liberal; examples - gay marriage being legal, vancouver has clothing optional beach; there no laws protecting rights of christains or muslims or sikhs, no gender equality laws, no laws protecting whites blacks purples - intolerance shown such superficial reasons frowned upon. judge people are, not are.
keep open mind far cultures go , if don't thats fine - live , let live.

no big gun culture; random violence definately more exception rule.
big cities have big city issues - drug use, prostitutes, homeless... , property crime. leave valuables in open sight in vehicle , may broken into. that's crime more experience, if any.

said you're coming hawaii, it's not huge huge culture shock... you'll fine , apparently canadians friendly [so hear anyways, fact have rough days else haha].

coming here on winter break; if vanouver winters mild - freezing temps little snow in city - tons on mountains though. everywhere else, it's standard cold canadian white winter.

you'll have fun :)

for winter break i'm going canada. don't know it's there because live in hawaii , don't want seem rude or canadians. comes head hatchet , maple leaf.
