I've been to the US about 6 times in the last 4 years, and nearly every time I tend to forget I am in another country. Usually it's the subtle things that remind me I'm in the States, like a different coloured currency, different pronounciations of certain words or different license plates, but even then I have to consciously remind myself that this is the US. Up to and until then, though, it's pretty easy for me to forget it's a different country.

I've made a lot of great American friends, too. It's weird that I actually tend to get a long with them better than some of my Canadian ones, the few and far between times I actually get to talk, meet or speak with them.

Everyone once and awhile you'll come across a real sack of ###### who is just mindfully ignorant and will have nothing to do with anything that isn't red white and blue, but then again I know plenty of Canadians who act exactly the same way towards Americans and anybody else. I think that's just a human condition. By and large most Americans I've met are friendly, easy to get along with and generous people. Very easy to talk to, so long as you're willing to break the ice.

Plus, I always think it's funny when I tell people from the US that I am from Canada. It's like it causes them to do a double take or something.
