Oh Canada!

Alex and I ventured up to Niagara Falls with his friend Idriss and Idriss' fiance Meghan. Fun times were had by all, and though we couldn't venture over to Canada because Idriss is in the US on a student visa, I did learn some things about our friends up north:

• The Canadian side of Niagara Falls is vastly superior to the American side. Pretty much the only time they are better (well, prescription drugs too). As we looked longingly across all the fun things Canada had, like a observation tower and ferris wheel, Alex noted that this is what it must be like looking at America at the Mexico-American border.
• Canadians try to make their currency look like ours and people will try to use it as American currency, even though it is worth less money. Cheaters!
  
• Canadians have TGIFridays, really big TGIFridays.
  
• Airport security is far more strict than border security between the American-Canadian border.
• Canadian squirrels are really fat. Much fatter than even UCLA squirrels. Must need that insulation to keep them warm because it's cold up there!
