You're right of course, I did disclaimer my maritime comments - but even so they feel small (or just right as you say) - just not as... metropolitan?
Anyhow, I feel any city I can walk the length of in a few hours isn't "big" - which isn't bad, just to say it isn't "BIG". :P

Good to know! I figured there had to be warm currents making some of these (greener) coastal areas swimmable, but as I said my experience is unfortunately limited... sigh.

Fuck yeah, and full of giant fish heads at low tide (in the morning anyhow lol). Also, jelly fish. Blegh. Prefer eating fish than swimming with their dead relatives :P Afternoons are great if you dig the chill though.
Oh, yah and great hot dog and lobster scene off Sydney NS...

They like it when you aknowledge the language with even a small thing such as saying Merci or a Bonjour.

I've experienced it in both, with a higher level of french snobbery from Quebec city University chicks than bar tenders. But I'm french too so I'm limited here. The best waiters and such are those who coax the Americans to try a little French heheh.

Just be careful who you're honest about your love of poo with - but that goes for anywhere...
