My wife and I spent our Honeymoon in Winnipeg, MB. I remember, as we crossed the border, seeing a posted speed limit of 100. Cool, thinks I, as I propel the Jeep toward ever increasing speeds. Then I noticed the *KPH* readings on my speedometer and considered myself a dumbass. Doh!
We were hungry as we rolled into Winnipeg, so we stopped at a McDonald's. Americans...pay heed here. Imagine a neatly made Big Mac (not all smushed up and oozing ick down the sides) eaten in a <b>*clean*</b> restaurant. That was the nicest McDonald's I have ever seen, before or since.
We were treated very well, by all with whom we came into contact. We found the Canadians to be nice, pleasant and very polite. Winnipeg is a beautiful, clean city, inhabited by a prideful citizenry.
I would have to say that our only negative experience came when we dined at a Chinese buffet restaurant (Foody Goody), that came highly recomended by an antique store owner, with whom we had come into contact earlier that day. We soon found ourselves wondering what exactly it was that we had done to piss her off so, as that had to be the *worst* Chinese buffet we have ever eaten. Ugh.
Overall, we had a *very* pleasant experience, and we do plan on making a return trip one day. Don't think we'll go to Foody Goody though...
