learn how to fake an english accent
Untitled

I can fake an English accent enough to fool Americans and fellow Canadians, but it’s still not up to snuff for fooling actual Englishmen. I have a bit of an unfair advantage though, my grandmother was from Kent, so I know what an proper accent should sound like. Still, I’m trying to fake it over an Albertan accent, which is a normal Canadian accent with an unfortunate hint of American twang.

Two tips; first, make sure to have a working knowledge of British pronunciation and slang, it’s “zed” and “al-u-min-i-um”, not “zee” and “alu-mi-num”. Secondly, watch plenty of Britcoms or the BBC, you’ll get the hang of it eventually.



Go to Disneyland

Overpriced, hot, dirty, full of screaming children, have to go through American customs to get there. Kinda fun when you’re a kid, a whole lot less fun as an adult.



see the northern lights

I grew up in Calgary, Alberta, and on a good cold winter’s night (usually has to be -20C or so) you can see the Northern Lights, though the city lights can overpower them sometimes.
