A big country, A big people, A big portion

So, it has been over a month since I have written something here and I suspect that my reader-audience (or the few that I had) have given up on me. Oh well, I am here again. I am here in Canada now, visiting family and spending my grandmother's money... good times.
You know the saying that everything is bigger in America? I think the same goes for Canada. I was going to take a picture of a toilet seat today. "Why?" you may well ask. "Surely a toilet seat is a toilet seat is a toliet seat, especially in WalMart." But that is where I would tell you that you are wrong. This toilet seat was HUGE! I swear that I was almost sitting in the water, I could barely fit. On the plus side, this seat made me feel quite slim, on the downside... why do they need such big toilets?! Well, a breakfast experience in Michigan can help enlighten I am sure...
My Aunt wanted to give my mom and I a special start to our ladies day out. The special start was called Tony's. I ordered french toast, my aunt ordered us all bacon to share. There was ONE POUND of bacon!!!!! There were 6 of us and we could barely finish it. The amount of food that people were eating... again I wish I took a picture... my conversation with my mom consisted solely of "oh my days!!!! Look what she is eating." Or my mom saying to me "Sarah! Look! He's got that pound of bacon all to himself!" I felt a bit sick when we left.
Fat people seem to rule the roost here. I have walked over half as much as I walk back home, I swear I have already gained weight and I have actually begun craving vegetables.
However, I am enjoying the comparably cheap prices, and most of the stuff that I have bought so far has been for work: craft supplies, decorations for the youth club that we are starting up in October (for a party that will be around the Halloween time). It's all been really fun so far. We'll see how much longer that lasts.
Well, that's all from the Land of Big. I will blog again soon.
