    Seven,

    It's not the American's I'm worried about, it's the Canadian's!

    They are so dumb at times they even thank their banking machines! (We are know'n worldwide for our oddities)

    Congratulations Kismet!!!!

    I hope it works out for you. You might keep these in mind, however:

    The trouble with these international events is that they attract foreigners. Robert Morley

    At least in the the South usa, they aren't especially fond of foreigners.

    The broad Australian accent is a legitimate form of speech and should not be stigmatized as a speech defect needing correction.

    Southerners also don't like foreigners to make fun of their accent.

    Since I'm a Yankee - I had to learn these views the hard way - then I turned Southern.

    Have a good trip, eh?

    I just wanted to back up a few posts to Spectrum's comments:

    It's not the American's I'm worried about, it's the Canadian's!

    They are so dumb at times they even thank their banking machines! (We are know'n worldwide for our oddities)

    I don't know anyone who thanks their bank machines. Just because we're polite, say please, thank you, excuse me, and sorry means we have basic manners and some class, not that we're dumb.

    Why don't you Americans try telling someone you're Canadian when you travel and see if you're not treated differently, perhaps better even?

    If memory serves me right, Spectrum wanted to move out of Canada because it's so cold up there where he is a native Canadian.

    Speaking of Bondi, I have a friend who owns an apartment right on Bondi beach, and he's renting it out during the Olympics.. so if you need a place to stay while you're there, HOLLER!!!!
