This new annual thread has been carved out of the previous thread in an effort to reduce the number of megathreads on the AC forum. For those interested the original 2004 - 2014 thread on the topic may be found here.
That original thread started by accident but quickly became a popular place to come and discuss off topic things such as hockey, new movies, or almost anything that wouldn't fit into existing AC forum threads. More Air Canada or Aeroplan topics such as flight feedback, in-flight services issues or mileage earning/redemption are all topics that should go into existing AC forum threads so others can benefit from this information. Topics about other airline/hotel loyalty programs should be posted elsewhere on FT.
While the conversation is more relaxed as it would be in a lounge that doesn't mean however that the FT rules don't apply her as they definitely do so please refrain from controversial topics such as politics or religion, avoid profanities and treat other lounge patrons with the same respect you expect.

The city that surprised me the most in Canada was Fredericton. The only province I haven't been to is PEI. Anyways, if you ever go to Fredericton, stay at the Delta. It's surprisingly amazing. 
^On another note, shopping malls here freak me out (in Asia). There's like a million staff members, and they don't leave you alone!!!!!!!! GRR. I was hounded the entire time. I dislike the way they deal with shoppers here.

Have a mussel? I honesty don't know what to say. Why are you so excited? The city that surprised me the most in Canada was Fredericton. The only province I haven't been to is PEI. Anyways, if you ever go to Fredericton, stay at the Delta. It's surprisingly amazing. ^

On a completely unrelated note (and yes I have permission to post this)
When I saw this, I was like....(self deprecating humor), as long as SAP lives on, we shall never go extinct
EDIT: This was at the TPE zoo...

What's up with the difference between Asian service at department stores vs Western service? There's like a million sales people and they don't leave you alone. It is incredibly infuriating. Even when I ask them to leave me alone, they follow me everywhere, which results in me not buying anything
The elevator girls at the Sogo department chain are awesome though. Definitely don't get that back home!

Now, go to Shibuya 109. A bunch of us FTers should do a NRT/HND trip.

As you know, we've been asking that for a while.
Since not everyone can commit to TPAC, we also suggested a domestic hop. Rapidair is too short for real fun, but a nice little transcon would work.
just saying.....

Well, he's a cold weather bird. Tokyo in January was bright and sunny but quite chilly. He might like that.
