    When you get outside of the big cities, there's huge expanses of forests and animals. Distance between towns can easily involve a drive that takes several hours. Japan (if you don't include the island of Okinawa) will just fit inside of the province of Ontario. It's not an unusual occurrence to see animals like bears, deer, moose, foxes, rabbits, coyotes, wolves, elk, grouse, crows, ravens, bison, and even cougars crossing the road in front of you. These places will usually have road signs to warn you of animals in these areas. There are also quite a large variety of trees across Canada, from the large Douglas firs, Western red cedars, and cypress of British Columbia to the maple, pine, balsam, spruce, birch, and poplar in northern Ontario, to the oak, willow (both regular and weeping varieties), beech, ash, and aspen trees in the southern parts where the weather is warmer.
    Hokkaido has a similar environment to northern Ontario, just a lot less people and it gets quite a bit colder during the middle of the winter.
    There's so much to tell but there isn't enough room to talk about it all. Come and visit.
    (I'll be heading to Japan for the first time in my life to see the cherry blossoms this season and I look forward to learning all I can while I'm there).

I also think it would be interesting to hear what Japanese people think of how far away all of the towns are spread here. I have to drive 2 hours to get to Saskatoon when I have to go to the optomitrist. Fun little facts: here in Saskatchewan, one of the slang terms for hoodie is bunnyhug. I personally don't hear that very often, and I think it's because we consume a lot of American media, and none of them call them bunnyhugs. In fact, Canadian's consume so much American media that they had to pass a law (or something like that) that made sure a certain percentage of the content on Canadian channels is actually Canadian, not American.

    Driving from Medicine Hat, Alberta to Swift Current, Saskatchewan, is one of the longest drives you will ever take in your life. It's only a 2 hour and 10 minute drive, but there are not many turns or hills or valleys you go through. You are in the middle of the prairies and since you aren't turning much your eyes tend to get tired. It's dangerous, so I usually take a 4-pack of Red Bull with me that I pick up at the gas station next to McDonalds in Medicine Hat. You drink one when you start, and when you notice yourself start to get a little tired, you take the next one and repeat. Turn up those tunes and just go.
    Last stop is a gas station and A&W when you reach Swift Current.

      I've never been to Alberta, but the no turns, no hills, no valleys thing sounds like every drive to another city here in Saskatchewan. The city I live in is about 2 hours from Saskatoon, where we have to go a lot for various things, so I take a drive like the one you described fairly often. However, I've never really found it tiring. Tbh, I've been taking drives like that my whole life, so I guess that's always seemed like the standard of what a road trip is, and I actually kind of like just sitting there and watching the fields go by, especially at sunrise.

    Facts about Canada:
    - Canada is the second largest country in the world. (at 9,093,507 sq km it is only rivaled by Russia)
    - Despite it's size Canada dose not have very many people. (Canada's Population is at 37.59 million. Japan's Population, 126.8 million)
    - Canada and Japan fought together in World War 1 and Korea, but were enemies in World War 2.
    - James Naismith (the inventor of Basketball) was Canadian.
    - Jean Cantius Garand (the inventor of the M1 Garand rifle) was Canadian.
    - The paint roller, the snowmobile, the TV, the snowblower and the telephone all Canadian inventions.
    - Canada and the U.S. have the longest border then any other two countries in the world. (8,891 km)
    - We almost always cook our fish before we eat it.
    - Canada sits between the countries of the U.S. and Russia.
    - Like the Americans we love our guns (12,708,000 guns in Canadian civilian hands, for the population that pouts Canada at number 7)
    - Not all Canadians are white. Name a color, Canada has it.

    Want some facts about Canada? Okay!
    Canada is divided into 10 provinces and 3 territories. The provinces are all in the south, and each has its own provincial government which only kinda-sorta answers to the federal government of the country. The territories are all in the north, sparsely populated, and the territorial governments are less powerful.
    Ottawa is the capital city of Canada.
    The 10 provinces (and their capital cities) are, from west to east:
    British Columbia (Victoria), Alberta (Edmonton), Saskatchewan (Regina), Manitoba (Winnipeg), Ontario (Toronto), Quebec (Quebec City), New Brunswick (Fredericton), Prince Edward Island (Charlottetown), Nova Scotia (Halifax), and Newfoundland & Labrador (St. John's).
    The first 4 provinces of Canada, at Confederation in 1867, were Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia.
    The 3 territories (and their capitals) are, also from west to east:
    Yukon (Whitehorse), Northwest Territories (Yellowknife), and Nunavut (Iqaluit).
    Nunavut is the newest subdivision of Canada, formally separated from the Northwest Territories on April 1, 1999 (not a joke), as a land-claim agreement with the indigenous Inuit peoples. Prior to Nunavut, the newest member of Canada was Newfoundland & Labrador, who joined in 1949.
    Before we adopted the red and white maple leaf flag in 1965, we used the Union Flag that we had inherited from the United Kingdom.
    Thus far, the USA has tried to invade Canada twice (1775 and 1812). Thus far, Canada has successfully defended itself twice.
    Now obviously, the above is not Every Single Thing there is to know about Canada, but it is a start =)

    That one woman's comment about going to Canada to fall in love is quite on-point: apparently, there's a legitimate phenomenom where female Japanese students come here, fall in love with a Canadian guy, and decide to stay permanently. Such woman are purportedly drawn here, in part, by a greater sense of personal and social freedom than they'd likely find if they were to stay in Japan. No judgement on my part in relating this, though: I'm simply repeating what I've read. 🙂💕

So i spent the next 10 min trying to catch that fly and got 5$ tip and bunch of japanese thank you. Also for some reason, japanese think a toilet is a garbage disposal thing... maybe in Japan but certainly not here. So many flooded rooms and many unhappy guess that had to be moved.
    Also, I learned a few basic greetings in japanese and knew how to give some basic direction. Big mistake, speak 1 word in japanese then get swarmed by japanese tourist that now think you speak their language. Fun days and despite the big culture differences, japanese are real nice and respectful people.

    Ahhh I've lived in Canada all my life and somehow it was disappointing seeing how little Japanese people know about our beautiful country. There's incredibly gorgeous views here, a huge array of multicultural-ness, so many different cultures are celebrated its beautiful, you get a peak into so many different experiences. Speaking personally from being in Ontario and not other provinces, which I'd loved to go to, there's a lot of interesting architecture, and Canadians are generally kind yes! very polite, my cousin visited once and was so surprised when we were walking downtown, I stopped & let a car pass before me but to me I didn't think twice about it at the time. Overall, Canada is just a wonderful place to spend time in.

Still, Canada was unkind to its Japanese during the 2nd World War by transporting them away from the BC coast but finally made amends and reparations. I think Canada and Japan will always be naturally friendly: we can find find Japanese living all across Canada and intermarriage has been popular. ... Japanadians and Canadese... like my wife.
