Introduction

Canadians are known for their "nice". I was looking for "nice".

Which prejudice about Canadians annoys you the most?

Them: Canadians, Americans? Same difference, no? Me: (silence) (more silence) Them: I have a second cousin of my father who lives in Toronto since 20 years. Me: (awkward silence)

Events: How often, specific day of the week, type of venue (restaurant, bar, other, everchanging or set location, etc...), etc

Once a month is perfect. I prefer an everchanging location as an excuse to get out of the same neighbourhood, eh?

What do you like best about Berlin?

Public transport and the bicycling way of life. Recycling mentality. The change it's gone through in the last 10 years. What I hate about Berlin: the Berliner Schnauze (also known as der Berliner-Humor). Some people think it charming. Hello?

What do you miss most about Canada?

Cottage Country! Driving to the lake on a holiday weekend and finding only a handfull of people there. My family. Snow and brilliant sunshine both on the same day.

What hockey team are you a fan of and why?

This must be a trick question... Why do you ask?

What sylvie is saying about this Meetup Group

Simply because Canadians are so nice and need a break from "Berliner Schnauze".
