Whistler Village

So Today we got off very early, just after lunch because there was bad weather on the mountain. Snowing so hard that the town at the foot of the mountain was not visible yet down in the town it was not snowing at all and much clearer. So being that I got off early when some others get off we are going to go walk around the village, it is such a cool little village, it reminds some people of downtown Disney, but to me it reminds me of a Christmas Village with everyone out and about during the night even in the cold. The really cool thing though is that not a single person is every in a hurry. Everyone just kind of goes about their business and even talking with people as they pass although they don't know each other. Everyone seems to treat others like they are old friends up for a visit, this is something America does not understand. Canada has realized that since we are al living in the same place, lets be friendly and get along. Up here everyone walks everywhere and used public transit much more in the states. Yes I have been to Canada many many times before this, but I was always pretty young, this time I can actually very clearly since the difference in the culture and the people, Canadains are so proud of their country that they want you to feel welcome, it is a really cool expierence. It makes a lot of us not want to go back to the states becuase we know it just won't be the same. Maybe that's something we should all work on when we go back, to be more friendly with people we meet and pass on the sidewalk, well that's all for now.
