I noticed a few things in Canada that were different from things in Alabama (besides just the weather and the people's accents):

• different words: cutlery (not silverware), washrooms (not bathrooms), eh?
• metric system (Believe me, zero degrees there felt just about as cold as it does here.)
• smart cars
• most jobs start at 8:30 or 9 in the mornings
• parents put plastic covers over the front of strollers to keep their babies warmer
• people wear snow boots and take them off when they go inside--some people even take slippers with them when they visit someone's house
• people like it when it snows, because that means it's "not too cold" (apparently it can get so cold there that it doesn't snow at all)

If you get a chance to go there, I'd recommend it!
