Now that Vancouver has won the chance to host the 2010 Winter Olympics, these are some questions people from all over the world are asking. Believe it or not these questions about Canada were posted on an International Tourism Website.

Obviously the answers are a joke; but the questions were really asked! ppl r so stupid for asking those questions!!!! lol. im even more stupid for not getting them!! :P

Q: I have never seen it warm on Canadian TV, so how do the plants grow? ( England )

A. We import all plants fully grown and then just sit around and watch them die.


Q: Will I be able to see Polar Bears in the street? ( USA )

A: Depends on how much you've been drinking.



Q: I want to walk from Vancouver to Toronto - can I follow the Railroad tracks? ( Sweden )

A: No, we are a peaceful civilization of Vegan hunter/gathers. Milk is illegal.



Q: I have a question about a famous animal in Canada , but I forget its name. It's a kind of big horse with horns. ( USA )

A: It's called a Moose. They are tall and very violent, eating the brains of anyone walking close to them.
You can scare them off by spraying yourself with human urine before you go out walking.

A: Yes, but you will have to learn it first.

This may not be real (funny though !) but I remember a radio station here that did a QandA for potential American tourists.

Among some of the handy advice doled out :
Bring a parka for your ski vacation. (Winnipeg in July)

There's some authentic Victoria ones here (http://victoria.wetpaint.com/page/Overheard+in+Victoria). Mildly amusing. Mostly fish-out-of-water tourists.

A car heading south down Cook St. [Victoria] into the Village. Two young American women with Southern accents pull over and ask for directions:

"We're trying to find Nanna Moe. Is this the right way?"

"Excuse me?"

[Woman looks at map]

"Nanna Moe."

"Uh, you mean Nanaimo?"

"Yeah! We want to catch the ferry to Vancouver!"

"Uh, O.K., turn around and get over onto Douglas St. and head north."

"Thanks!"

^They don't realize Nanaimo is over 100 kms away. And why drive up there just to get to Vancouver? I didn't have time to ask.

Q: Is it safe to run around in the bushes in Canada ? ( Sweden )

A: So it's true what they say about Swedes. (I dont get it)

Shaving question?


And they forgot: "Where can I get that maple flavored marijuana, and is it true it's served with mayonnaise?
