Well i'm going to compare Canada to Slovakia ;D (edit: Well it is the same but methods or styles are different) Halloween: 1) Trick or treat heres your snacks ;D 2) Uh we don't celebrate it (or I think they don't from what I can remember) Christmas: 1) Here buy our stuff from the malls and give them to your family and friends. 2) Ah yes here just be nice to one another and celebrate it with gifts and real Christmas spirit without the fake North American feel If you want you can drink as much as you want Birthdays (Little biasness but true): 1) Gifts, cake, anything you get is yours and how much people like you. 2) Gifts, cake/treats, beer, wine, PARTIES!, and ah yes you get cool treats no matter how popular you are Names Day (applies to some or most parts of Europe) 2) Celebrate it as much as you want Valentines: 1) heres your card or candy and if people don't like you you don't get love 2) Same ^ or possibly more gifts Easter: 1) Candy 2) Uh we got these little slappy rods that you hit people in the rear with so everytime you slap them lightly you get free gifts and treats (possibly beer) and have a blast of your life ;D (I think this goes here since i'm still trying to relearn what I forgot) Hmm.....ya......I think I'd rather be in Slovakia then US/Canada since i've been here way too long Besides I have more fun over there anyhow even if i'm half tourist and have citizen (don't have citizenship).
