Default Canadian flag on the backback myth



It could also be that Canadians visiting foreign countries don't refer
to the residents as foreigners and demand they speak english. They
don't go to a local restaurant and demand food as served at home. They
usualy don't spend the day telling their hosts how things are so much
better at home and try to make up for bad manners with a huge tip.

Hi,

I remember the time I was eating in my regular first day chinese
restaurant in amsterdam... and the waitress (asian, very probably
chinese) was trying to wait on a table... she started with english, then
dutch, german, french, chinese (I guess), then back to english... BUT
THIS TIME LOUD ENGLISH.

ended up pointing at the pictures on the wall.
