Now that Vancouver has won the chance to host the 2010 Winter

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!

A: We import all plants fully grown and then just sit around and

watch them die.

Haa, I never saw this but thats hilarious. One awesome thing about the olympics in 2010, is that the torch will be walked right past my house. I live in a relatively small town on vancouver island but its sort of in between two bigger cities. So I got the novelty of having it right in my front yet basically.
