Winter Olympics will start soon...

As they haven't yet, no jokes are circulating about them. But here is a fine selection of (dumb) questions asked before the Games in Vancouver... People from all over the world were posting questions about Canada on an international tourism website.

These were actual questions:

Q: Will I see polar bears in the street? (USA)
A: Depends on how much you've been drinking.

Q: Which direction is North in Canada ? (USA)
A: Face south and then turn 180 degrees. Contact us when you get here and we'll send the rest of the directions.

A: Sure, it's only Four thousand miles, take lots of water.

Q: Can you give me some information about hippo racing in Canada ? (USA)
