People Who Visited Canada For The First Time Share Their Hilarious Opinions And Experiences On Twitter
When you've lived in Canada all your life, you get so used to its quirks and characteristics that you become immune to what everyone else in the world considers to be great about it. Common Canadian elements like breathtaking landscapes, the exciting winter traditions and poutine end up becoming somewhat... ordinary.
But it's those very things that people around the world are so fascinated by, and many people even make the trip to the country just to experience them. Travellers who made a trip to Canada for the first time shared their opinions and experiences about the country on Twitter, and its safe to say each one was unique in their own way.
Here are some of the best tweets about people's first impressions of Canada:

I went to Canada once. Lots of people were smoking cigarettes and some of the buildings smelled weird. Then it got really cold.
i went to Canada almost a year ago and visited this Irish Pub, met a young business man named Nick who without speaking to us first, bought us a shot to start a 5 hour convo, and I haven't talked to him since and he sends me this Snapchat today and WHY AM I CRYING IN THE CLUB

I have to admit. I'm watching your political drama more than our own. I feel powerless. I really think that Americans have a chance with this presidency to return to the values you once held.
Americans always get so mad when I tell them a two dollar coin here is called a Toonie
