My brother just got back from a trip to Newfoundland, we have some family there which he did spend time with, but he some of the things he told me where amazing...

When they were in the bars and clubs, they did not pay for one drink

Him and his friends would get stopped in the street when someone heard their accent and create conversations with them.

The hospitality they saw was like none they have seen before, any where they went people wanted to be nice to them.

The sights and history of Newfoundland were more indepth than he could think of of, or had been taught in school.

The thought of someone trying to scam them or rip them off never even entered their mind, they police up until about 4 years ago, didn't even carry guns.

I feel so nieve for not even concidering making a trek down to "The Rock", but now I am, my next adventure will not be over seas, my next trip will be to Newfoundland on the east coast of Canada, A trip that I have not taken since I was 8 yrs old, almost 20yrs ago.

St.Johns is the largest city and they were treat no diferent than when they rolled nto a small town, EVERYONE is friendly and eager to help and meet a trav'la. Dispite being the highest taxed province, and the highest unemployment rate, this place treats their guest like gold, like family....

HOLD TIGHT NEWFOUNDLAND, I"M COMING!!!!
