About canadians... part II
I was reviewing my blog today, it was funny because some funny stories came to my memory..
When I read my analysis of canadians..I was surprised how things are seen so different from outside...
It´s been 1 year and a half since I left Canada and now, I would like to reply to myself for the analysis of canadians... I would also like to tell what typical canadian behaviour was most hard for me to get rid of when I came back to spain...
About the kind and nice waitresses/waiters.. I was for a while talking about service in the bars/clubs... well, thats what I miss most in Spain... now i´ve understood I rather like the waitress coming every 10 minutes to ask me if everything is ok than having nobody to ask for another beer... like in spain, where the service is getting worse everyday and sometimes you even want to leave wherever you are without even starting to eat/drink..
About the tips... I´ve discovered that prizes are higher in spain when you go to a bar, so in conclusion, you´re paying the tips anyway. And I have to say, it was the hardest thing, not to tip 10% of the bill. Actually, for the first months after the canadian experience in spain, my friends and relatives didn´t want to let me pay, they were afraid I was gonna tip the waiter too much, haha.
I still some times feel bad if we dont tip the waiter.. not bad, but like we´re forgetting sth...
the other thing I still do, and people tell me: you dont need to say thank you for everything.. is this one, thanking all the time...
And.. I still remove my shoes when I get into my friends´ places... or into the plane.. or into my own place..
About food, I dont have anyth else to say, I "resay" what I did 2 years ago.
About the smoking thing... what can i say.. i gave it up, so now i can say, it´s much better dont allow people to smoke in public places, because it´s too disgusting being in a restaurant smelling the smoke of your neighbour´s cigar... so my vision about this has also changed.
but i still think my analyzis about canadians was funny and right
