here's the truth: " in the beginning, people thought the world was flat, then they thought it was round, now we all know it's crooked"!

anyone, what is your #1 bad memory of a dining experience? mine is the Tavern On The Green, Manhattan. why do they have those silly very hard rolls that no one ever eats? i mean these things are quite hard. we always would look around when dining there & nobody would eat them. they are ball shaped, perfect for starting a food fight!!!

When you drive up north to the Vermont / Canadian border you're welcomed with a very friendly Canadian agent who also says "Welcome to Canada". There are signs after you cross the border which also say "Welcome to Canada" and also explain to tourists the difference in the measuring systems from miles to kilometers. There are also kiosks, right at the border which can exchange US dollar into Canadian dollar.

When you come back into USA from Canada, there's no welcome sign or anything, no speed limits for a few miles - it's like you don't know where you're going. Then i also asked the American border agent "excuse me do you know where i can exchange some money?" and he said " i dunno i'm not a bank". I said " i know you're not a bank but do you know of any banks around here?" - "i dunno" - he said.

Basically: Welcome home jerk!

Another day i'll share with you a New England hospitality and Southern Hospitality story.

That's because all the "WELCOME" signs were sent to the Southern border. ;)
I think USA has enough money to make signs for the whole world but it's the gritty mindset. Sink or Swim unless it's the banks, then let's bail them out with our money.

Here's another story.
We had an intern at our office a 20-something year old girl from Boston who was going into a veterinary school somewhere in North Carolina.
She said that during her whole time there she felt uncomfortable on how nice the people were over there and she had a hard time adjusting to it.
Then - she said - when i came home (Boston) last week and went to Dunkin Donuts to grab a coffe, some guy in front of her not only didn't hold the door for her but almost slammed it in her face.

"Ahhhh i'm home" - she said.
