The other day, I was in an action figure store when an American tourist began chatting to me because he thought I was also from the US. When I explained I now study in Canada he automatically remarked on how I didn't have a "Canadian accent." I think it's because "eh" is more of an Ottawa thing, and I've only been in Toronto for 3 years...

But yeah, I suppose if you HAVE to categorize Canadian accents it's between Brits and Americans, though more towards the US side. I once used "beanie" in a McDonald's in Toronto, and some dude like 5 people ahead of me jumped out of line, pointed at me, screamed "YOU'RE AMERICAN TOO! YOU DIDN'T SAY TUQUE!" and gave me a high five.

I had to do my awkward, long-winded "Actually I'm from Hong Kong but went to a British preschool then an international school with American teachers" shtick. But it's kind of nice how Americans automatically bond with me over vocab.

On another note, seems America and I share the same views about going on trips :3 I recall being the only one who preferred the museums over malls on a school trip to Spain, because WHY GO TO H&M WHEN WE HAVE TONS BACK HOME??
