akacake Posted January 23, 2008 #1 Share Posted January 23, 2008 We are a group of 7 Canadians and so far haven't heard of any other Canucks traveling with us. Just curious if and how Americans or Europeans can tell us apart from other cruisers? It is nice to be identified as Canadian without wearing our flag on our clothing! I guess our accents will give us away, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.M.T. Posted January 23, 2008 #2 Share Posted January 23, 2008 We are a group of 7 Canadians and so far haven't heard of any other Canucks traveling with us.

I guess our accents will give us away, eh? It is very easy to spot Canadians, especially on Costa. They have the complexion of Red Indians, are as disgruntled as the French and dress in traditional Eskimo clothes.:rolleyes: Does it really matter if you are recognised as Canadians, English, Americans? For me so long cruisrs are happy then they are good cruisers, irrespective of their nationality, and that is what bonds people together. Have a good cruise.

akacake Posted January 23, 2008 Author #3 Share Posted January 23, 2008 haha...good description of some I guess.... I am proud to be a Canadian and like to be recognized as one ...we are VERY different than Americans or British and yes, the French too... I was just curious how other nationalities tell us apart if at all....for example I can tell an Aussie apart by their accent but it is hard for me to distinguish a German vs a Swiss person. Yes, I agree, everyone should get along, but sadly that is not the case... but *most* Canadians are easy going and hopefully not labelled as RC's ( rude Canucks ) Only 11 more days until I sail, time to go and park the skidoo and hunt some seal for dinner tonight :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last part of your question is very easy: Typical German, wears Lederhose has a bratwurst in the left hand and a stein in the right hand and never laughs. Typical Swiss, has a bar of chocolate in the left hand and a Swiss Army Knife (with McIver still attached) in the right hand and singing love songs to his dearest (namely jodeling to his favourite cow "Heidi").

KWIM EH? Cantwait - I hear you, it is fairly warm here today and only -15 C, no new snow in 24 hours either...those palm trees are going to look beautiful!
