While in Seattle, Washington, I decided to take a day trip into Vancouver, Canada, but instead of driving like I normally would, I rode a Greyhound bus. The round-trip bus ticket for Seattle-Vancouver cost $48.50, and the 4-5 hour journey each way was dull and slow but smooth-going. Entry into Canada, however, was a different story. I, unfortunately, met a rude, arrogant, and power-hungry Canadian Customs guy who profiled me because I was traveling solo on Greyhound. Generally speaking, I don't respond well to a bad attitude so I reacted to his overture. Finding nothing on me, however, he begrudgingly let me through. I have to say that he left me with a bad taste for Canada in general and suffice to say, I won't be contributing to Canada's BOP (Balance of Payments) for a while.
