Its very true, i remember in Paris (the people there are real shifts sometimes) I was listening and theres these other americans who wanted to know where the bathroom was so they ask the guy @ the register and he doenst speak english, doesnt need to. And so the guy keeps asking where it is louder, he eventually starts saying it clear and slowly. It looked bizzare. But yea the canadian folks were really hospitable, i would love to go back.
