I Have Something to Say

Just came back from my trip to Philly... When I crossed the border to the USA from Canadian land, the officers were so rude and cold... Not even a 'hello'.. They ask you some stupid questions... Like wth??? They interrogate you like you're a sort of dangerous person...

Now that I came back to my precious Canada,I went through the Canadian borders and guess what.. The officers had a smile, even joked and were chill. Three questions asked and they let me go...

That my friends, is why I LOVE MY CANADIANS SO MUCH! They are nice people!!! Ughhhh!!! I visit the US because of its history and lands but the people there... >_< I don't know... I'm used to nice people greeting you, giving you a warm smile, greeting you in the streets, serving you with respect.. Canada is a beautiful country.

So you judge an entire country based on the border and immigration officers you had to deal with?

So tolerant.

@Booyeah Not only on that.. 😜 I travel a lot to the US.. Well since I was a child because it's our neighbour, and most people have kind of the same attitude! I won't deny the fact that I have met wonderful people, but they are so HARD to find. And my comment is generalised... I know there are exceptions.. I know!

@HappyFlower I have crossed borders a few times. I must look like a terrorist with curls. I have been grilled by a border guard younger than my son. I have had a friend's car searched more than once. Perhaps next time, I may be strip searched. Canadian border officials are often nicer and faster than the American ones. And when people hear I am Canadian while in the US, I am always greeted and treated well. Truth.
