I've lived in Canada all my life and have actually ventured out of these borders for the first time this summer (Washington State: Omak, Wenatchee (sp?), Brewster). Granted, not far, but still quite an eye opener of how different our cultures actually are (99% of what I perceived to be American culture I gleaned off various media (television, magazines, etc). Ok, off track there momentarily, but to summarize I don't "know" any Americans (save the ones we communicate to in various forums, etc). Regardless, I would not want to put the burden on a friend to purchase something on my behalf, or else I'd have a ton of Vegemite from some of my Aussie friends, lol. Good idea though, thanks!
