for putting Canada on the map. Seriously. As I have already mentioned, Buenos Aires is currently full of Brazilians. Mostly young ones. On one of our first nights here one poor soul who speaks Spanish (and English, and Portugese), got told to go in our cab for an event held by our hostel. We could not be trusted to give the cab driver proper directions on our own. We began talking to him, and when we told him we are from Canada, he was immediately so excited, asking us if we like Avril Lavigne. Apparently, he was quite the fan as a teenager. He didn't know much else about Canada, except that it is cold and that Celine Dion is also from there. He was a bit shocked when I told him that lots of people don't like Celine Dion and that no, I do not listen to her music. He kept saying, but she is the best singer, why you don't like her?
We tried to talk about many other things Canda has to offer, but he wasn't nearly as interested in that as he was in Avril Lavigne.
So, let's take a minute, and thank Ms. Lavigne, for putting Canada on the map.
Thank you.
