Canadiana – sort of

I was wearing a t-shirt with very small ‘Salt Spring Island, BC’ printed on it. A rather strange hippy-type fellow stopped me at a supermarket and asked me if I was from Canada. Apparently, he is an Aussie who was in Salt Springs a few years ago following a music group “Midnight Oil” that performed there. I think he just wanted to talk about all the places he visited in Canada – including Regina. Quite a character.

Another thing – there is a travel expo in Wollongong – the door prize is a trip to Canada. The picture was of Banff, of course.

The lady at the hotel checkout in Jindabyne had a Canadian experience too. She is actually a Brit who visited BC (where else?) for six months. She thought it was lovely, of course.
