Everything. Cinnamon. Tastes off. Can you get apple pie without cinnamon, heck as like. Is it called apple and cinnamon pie? No, they sneak the stuff in. I think after a while you can't taste the damn stuff. U-bleeding-biqutous.
Or vanilla, and the vanilla's not right. That Mexican stuff isn't as good as the Madagascar stuff.
But, good stuff, beaches by rivers, swimming from a sandy beach in a city.

Cinnamon gets put in things that don't need it and would be better off without it. I bought a rhubarb and raspberry pie last week and guess what?

My dad told me NZ is the only country where they sprinkle cinnamon on a cappuccino. Maybe they do it in Canada too?

Suprised?
A canadian visitor just opening the fridge, grabbing a beer and popping the cap off without asking!

Does it get cold in Canada?
I am moving there tomorrow with all of the family as I have a job. I have never been there before and I bought a house off the internet, but I never new it was cold there. It doesn't snow too, does it?
