1. Get all the food and water you can.
2. Keep your US passport close and out of sight. If anybody local asks, you're Canadian..Hell, if it gets hairy, make for their embassy in Beirut.
3. Stay by the radio. I assume you have a transistor radio. If not, get one. Preferably shortwave.
4. Put mattresses over the windows in case they get blown out, better yet, find a place w/o windows.
6. Be careful with your internet use...Internet, especially over a landline can be traced. If it's wireless, keep it short and move if it looks like the locals are taking an undue interest.
Good advice.
If you are to be a Canadian, you'll need a primer.....things to say to identify you as a Canadian.
Use the word "eh" alot. Normally it is used much like 'huh' or 'why' in the US.
IE: (question)... Where are you from......(your reply)....... Eh? From Canada. I'm here on business.
It can also be used as a request or question , as in.... I need a drink of water, eh?
You might be feeling some frustration when you use it this way.
Ack! It's hard to explain.
You use it to make a point about something. Or not.
Every Canadian knows about Tim Horton donuts. It's our Crispy Creme, only better.
They sell a small round ball shaped donut called a 'Tim-bit'. The story is that they are the holes they cut out of the donuts, even though everyone knows it doesn't work that way. ;-)
And a coffee with double cream, double sugar is called a 'double-double'.
We have a one dollar coin (it's gold colored) called a "Loonie", and a two dollar coin called a "Twoonie" (Silver outside, gold inside).
Any Canadians want to help make Rebel into an honorary Canadian?
