Culture Shock Chile: 5 Things You Won’t Find In The United States
This is more of a Latin American product rather than a product of Chile but I think this is hysterical. If you are not from the United States then you have to see who Mr. Clean is. This is as big of a stereotype that I have ever seen; a strong broad shouldered, big […]
Coffee In Canada: The Good, Bad, & Disgusting
There aren’t a lot of people that don’t like coffee. When I first arrived in Toronto there was a bit of chaos with riots, earthquakes, and even a G20 meeting (click here for story). It took me a while to get situated since I was in-between two apartments but I can attest that living in Toronto […]
