O Canada

Here is how I’m preparing for my trip next month to Canada/Nova Scotia/Prince Edward Island:
- Watching Anne of Green Gables and rereading the books for the 100th time- sooo romantic (and not in that swapping spit kind of way.)
- Getting giddy over BJ Snowden’s stirring music video tribute to Canada. Fucking amazing, I tell you.
- Eating lots of REAL maple syrup.
- Studying up on the culture. No, I’m not learning basic French. Instead, I’m discussing strip clubs 
with friends. A friend of mine went to a strip club up there and he didn’t know how to tip the dancers, since the dollars were coins. Then he realized that the stiletto acrylic platform heels they were wearing had coin slots in them. FINALLY, a purpose for such hideous footwear.
- Drinking lots of Canadian beer. I’m considering it an acclimating measure - replacing my inferior American blood with as much imported alcohol as I can.

I would also suggest practicing your “ehs” and saying “let’s go out for some timbits,” when you’re hungry.

I am INSANELY jealous you are going to PEI!!!
It’s one of my top ten places I’d like to visit. (Also inspired by my love of Anne with an “e”.)
