Flashing Lights and Gelato

Besides our Canadian friends' funny way of talking (Mazda is pronounced with a flat "a"), our Canadian friends are very obsessed with blinking green traffic lights and gelato. Every other block (meaning the blocks without Starbucks), you'll see gelato stores here in Vancouver. Who knew these people were so obsessed with the Italian ice cream -- there really is no logical explanation. Perhaps I'll survey people on the street today.

Do Canadians drive Mazdas in disproportionate numbers? Or do they just happen to have a lot of "zoom zoom" commercials on the telley up there?

No zoom zoom commericals...and I haven't noticed a disproportionate amount of mazdas. Its just the Toyota or other commericials didn't have weird pronunciations.

By the way, the gelato is damn good. If only I had time to sample every one of the gelato places...
