Americans and Canadians are pretty much the same.

I mostly grew up in a border town and used to go to the States regularly and never felt different from them.

We both have our own annoying little quirks.

One thing I find though when I am in big American cities is that people are not as friendly as they are in Canadian cities - which I suppose there is probably a reason for. When I was in Seattle, I couldn't get directions from people off the street. They completely ignore me. One lady even rushed to her car, rolled up the windows and locked the door. And I'm not a scary looking person or anything. Another time I was driving in a residential neighbourhood in St. Paul and saw a lady in her yard, so my gf and I pulled over to ask directions and some man came out of the house and told us not to come any further. Those sort of things happened frequently when I go to the States, but I can honestly say, I have never experienced that in Canada.
