Many people consider Canada's proximity to the US to be a bonus. These are often the same people who go to outlet malls as a recreational activity and wish that Canada had IHOP or Bob Evan's locations.

Kelowna has an IHOP. Perhaps it was built to cater for the overweight retarded Yanks who used to head this way for summer vacations. Uh, well that was before 911 and the rising cost of gasoline and hamburgers.

mozzies so big they could pick up a cat :eek: once they have gone the dear fly and black fly are the final straw!

for some reason they just love the British blood! When i go biking with the locals they don't worry about the mozzies as they make a bee line for any exposed skin i have!

The lack of decent TV and millions of ants EVERYWHERE in my house and garden. Even found them in my handbag today. :frown:

I empathise! My wrists and ankles are a sea of blood volcanoes. The little twats manage to land without you noticing and suck you dry! I've lived / worked in West Africa, Far East, Middle East, Aussie, South America, Scotland... and I have never, ever had so many bites as I've had here. Plus, they're super-itchy for some reason!!
