were goig to celebrate my sisters birthday, I know the drinking age is 19, were all in our 20′s..what is the best bar scene/not totally expensive area to stay for a week??

The biggest nightclub in North America is The Guvernment http://www.theguvernment.com/ in the city of Toronto, Ontario.
How big is it? It holds a mind-blowing maximum of ten thousand people. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Guvernm??
It’s located in downtown Toronto and is internationally rated as one of the world’s best dance clubs.

Toronto is Canada’s largest city, with tons of hotels priced to fit every budget. http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotels-g15501??
It’s like New York City except cleaner, safer, and prettier: http://cache.virtualtourist.com/2626940-??
Toronto’s Entertainment District http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toronto_Ent?? is a neighbourhood known for arts, culture and nightlife.
Here’s other clubs in that area http://www.clubzone.com/c4/Entertainment??
And here’s a list of clubs currently trendy throughout the city: http://www.clubcrawlers.com/top10

If you go, be sure to check out the Eaton Centre mall http://besttorontoplaces.com/wp-content/??http://www.wayfaring.info/wp-content/upl??
And don’t forget what’s underneath downtown Toronto as well: http://www.aviewoncities.com/toronto/pat??

It all depends where your going in Canada..theres tons of good areas considering Canada is one of the safest countries in The Americas (North and South America) but I would try going to Toronto, they usually have some good bars in the Downtown area. There are literally hundreds of bars in that area and millions around the country but thats my suggestion.

There are some great hostels in Canada! Most are over bars and for the younger set. You should look at www.hostels.com. This will give you a good idea. This is a great experience with a group! Have fun!!

I know there is a lot of joking back and forth but in all honesty do you really hate us?

My mom’s old friend and her family (Canadian) stayed with us this last week and their 19 year old son and 15 year old daughter were so rude (their Dad was too, a little.) Finally I asked the girl why, and her response was simply "Nothing too personal, I hate Americans."

I asked why, and she said "Just do." And then I Google it, and there’s like a million sites of trash talking between the two.

So do you really?! WHY?! I don’t understand it! Nor do I understand American’s not liking Canadians!!

Is it South Park’s fault?!
You gave us Degrassi I LOVE YOU!

I am sure that there are a few Canadians that do not like American culture and attitude, but the majority of Canadians are not haters. We are generally not like that, and I am quite surprised that the kids of your mom’s friend (a Canadian visting an American family) would be so rude as to say anything so ignorant as "I hate Americans…why? I just do…"

There are things I don’t like about America, but I would not go so far as to say I hate Americans. I have not really met any Americans that gave me reason to hate them. And I’ve been to at least a dozen states in all corners of USA.

So don’t worry about what your mom’s friend or her family are like. Maybe they are just ignorant and never bothered to learn about Americans, and were only told bad things about them. Remember that we do like to tease each other, but in the end we are happy to have such nice neighbors. After all, look at the rest of the world? At least we don’t have bullets and artillery fire bouncing back and forth between us!

Americans have too much pride. We are rude and think we are better when we visit other places. (Well, the ignorant ones, of course.)
Plus, we haven’t had the best track record lately with presidents and such. The country gives Americans as whole a bad name, it’s fairly sad that Americans are personally targeted, like you were, and that Americans personally target Canadians. Canada is a beautiful place, and parts of America are just wonderful. It all comes down to the reputation, and people taking it far too seriously.

That 15 year old should have been taken behind the woodshed when she was younger and taught respect.
Hate is too strong a word, really. We get annoyed and frustrated with Americans, especially your foreign policies where you feel you have the right/might to walk into any country and do what the hell you want. That really pisses off Canadians. Also your really dim knowledge of other cultures and countries.
However, you can be certain that Canada will always be there for America in times of need.Peace.
BTW, I totally support and agree what SteveN wrote.

Yes, many do. The reason? Inferiority complex/jealousy of culture. But no Canadians like to admit that.

And to the person who said that all Canadian TV has American shows on it… you can blame that on CTV and Global, who CHOOSE to air American shows and never give Cdn. ones a chance.

No, well… at least I don’t.I think some Canadians have a hard time identifying themselves since we’re so similar to Americans, so they try to to simply bash Americans or point out miniscule differences between us to prove that they are "different".It’s immature and rude.

Canada is the most-educated nation on Earth.
The majority of Canadian citizens have at least one college or university degree.

As for the minority of ignorant and uneducated Canadians, well, guess where those trash talk sites come from…

I don’t hate all americans, that would be ignorant to say there all the same.However a lot of Americans are ignorant, arrogant, and think the U.S is the best country in the world even though they can’t point it out on a map.

idk when ive traveled up to canada the majority of canadians were nice and hospitable, I thought the ranking back and fourth was more joke orientated.

I have never met anyone that hates America or Americans.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but everyone hates Americans.

Everyone.

Well if u really wanna know.

America is trying to invade Canada slowly. Had u ever notice that America is also trying to assimilate Canada by usingtelevision? there is more American shows than Canadian shows in Canada. And America also broke some treaty with first nation in Canada and alot more…

Sorry but i dnt know how to explain all of and im just in 7th grade i would love to tell you everything i learned but i have to go ^.^

i hope this 2 countries find peace sooner or later..

And America once belong to Great Britain until the fought for there independence.

PEACE MY FRIEND!!

yeah seriously they all hate us. DO NOT BLAME SOUTH PARK THEY DON’T HATE CANADA

I’m an American myself and I think the reason why is because a lot of Americana’s are "ugly" in terms of how they act in foreign countries. For example – going to Germany or France and upset that people are not speaking English. Walking around yelling, "Does anyone speak English?" A lot of American’s are not nice in other countries. Also, Bush really did give us a bad name.

For myself – next year I want to go to Quebec City for my birthday. French is the official language there. I am going to brush up on my french for the next year. Whenever I need to speak to someone, I will be friendly and polite to them in THEIR native language. (Bonjour, comment allez vous? Parle ingles? – Hi, how are you? Do you speak English?) Yes, I am asking if they speak english but in French.

However, the majority of American’s are not polite like that. If American’s were over all friendlier even to each other that would really help. However, people in America can be very rude. In Europe a lot of people greet each other w/ a double kiss on the cheeks. We in America do a handshake. So much more formal.

When I see media or read news articles that claim middle eastern immigrants arent meshing into society very well there usually from England, Canada and Australia and European countries such as Germany and France. My question is simply the same for you as I asked the other countries. Are the Immigrants really causing as much problems up there as claimed or stated by the news/media or are they overexaggerating as I thought they might be?

I think it has to do with the level of education that a Immigrant brings with them to Canada.

My wife works at the U of T and she deals with post graduate Fellows, who come from many differentMuslim countries. Some of the men are horrible when it comes to having to work "under a woman " as they cannot seem to grasp the western idea of "equality " at work. Some are so rude that they won’t shake hands with a woman, or hold a civil conversation with one. Some of the Muslim women are also very ridgid and won’t take part in any type of " none work activity " such as a birth day party, or a retirement send off.Remember that these are University grads, who are mid career professionals, not first year students.

The other side of it is the Immigrant who refuses to integrate, who wants to live in Canada, but does NOT want to change anything about how they do things. They live in a "language ghetto" and want their kids to learn arabic, not English, and they refuse to allow their daughters to dress "western " and keep them in the house as virtual prisoners, untill they can be married to a stranger, in a arranged marriage.

A final source of irritation is the full face veil…………I feel that it is a type of male domination of women and no where in the holy Koran is it a requirement of the faith. Millions of Muslim women do NOT wear it, around the world. It is a fashion in some Muslim countries, and not in others. In Canada is is a hot topic that needs to be decided, in our law books. I would make it illegal to appear in any public place, with your face covered, or to have a passport or a DL with a face covered up.In my opinion, only bank robbers cover their faces, to commit a crime, so noone else should be able to do that, legally.

Canadians are pretty easy going, but some times the new people go too far over the line, and we get mad about it. Reasonable accomodation is the norm here, but some Immigrants are way too pushy, and that gets anangry reaction from many of us.

Jim B

Toronto.

a few convinence stores have been bought out by middle eastern people here and the previous workers lost their jobs and were replaced with other middle eastern people. however that is only a few stores and really that could happen regardless of race.

communication can be a bit of an issue. but its interesting trying to communicate a point across without using words. infact it is probably a good skill to develop.

i dont have problems with the immigration diversity is cool

I personally don’t have much experience dealing with middle eastern immigrants but I find it irritating that they insist on not blending into Canadian culture. A lot of them, particularly (fundamentalist) Muslims, bring all their odd values and sense of justice to Canada where they don’t belong.

Jim B pretty much calls it like it is. ME immigrants aren’t the only ones with the ‘ghetto’ mentality. A lot of born-in-Canada "Chinese" kids arrive at elementary school for the first time without speaking a word of English. The Toronto District School Board has to make accommodations for them. I am sure this applies to other self-ghettoizing immigrant groups as well.

Generally no. However, if the immigrants don’t get they need to at least blend part of themselves into the country’s way of doing things, then it’s bad.

From the Middle East in general….no. Issues with Muslims wanting their Middle Eastern ideals to be upheld in Canadian secular society? Yes.

No.
Despite what some responders are insinuating, we don’t have problems with our ME immigrants the way other countries do.

The fact that the Muslim women hide their bodies and hair is a big irritant. They should dress like regular women and that would help a lot.

It’s fine in Canada.

No

The reasons why I think this are:

1.They like Canadian Football, which is a variant of U.S. Football.
2.Hockey is the national sport of Canada, and it is also popular in the U.S.
3.Canadians drive big cars, and live in big houses, just like they do in the U.S.
4.There is both an NBA and MLB team in Toronto.

Does anyone agree with the above question, and if not, why?

You’re definitely onto something there. Wow.

1) Canada is BIGGER than the US itself so it won’t be a state, the question should be why isn’t the US a province of Canada.
2) There was no revolution and it still is a British Commonwealth country
3) Hockey is FROM Canada and no where near the support in the US
4) People live in big houses and drive big cars in other countries as well doesn’t make them states.

Vice Versa.
Canada was colonized before the first Pilgrims hit Plymouth Rock.
Lacrosse is actually Canada’s national sport. Hockey’s simply more popular.
Canadians have bigger houses and own more cars per capita than every other nation on Earth.
Including the US of A.
A Canadian invented basketball.
Oh and next time you’re zipping up your pants or jacket: Thank Canada for inventing the zipper.

And here’s some summer reading for you: http://www.isbnlib.com/preview/081186370??

Is the United States the 14th Provence/Territory of Canada?

1. They like U.S. Football, which is similar to Canadian Football.
2. Hockey is popular there, and it originated in Canada. (It’s not our national sport, Lacrosse is)
3. Americans drive big cars, and live in big houses, just like they do in Canada (Oh, and so does pretty much every developed county…)
4. There was also a CFL team in Las Vegas (and other places in the United States)

Well, I suppose we cleared that up, didn’t we now?

No, but I have heard there’s a movement within the United States to become the 11th province.After all they like US football, very similar to Canadian football.They’re quite fond of our national winter sport.They like our big cars and trucks.
Most Americans are Raptors and Blue Jays fans.

Troll.

Uh… No. Just because Canada has similarities to the United States does not mean you’re the 51st state. Not to mention in order for any territory to become a state it needs to be decided on by congress. Puerto Rico is a US territory and would be the 51st state. Not Canada.

Oh dear. As much as you might like it, it isn’t going to work.

Why would Canada want to be part of another country. We could consider letting the US become a province of Canada if you asked nicely.

No. And the second reason is totally untrue, I mean people play hockey here, but baseball, football and soccer are all above it in The USA.

yes i agree that the u.s is similar to canada but that doesn’t prove that canada is the u.s’ 51st state

No. Americans have wrecked their country, but in Canada the damage is to a lesser extent.

Quick answer – NO!
And don’t even think about trying it, dude.

lacrosse is our national sport…

only in the ,minds of americans who think they own the world. canada is a separate nation. get used to it

GST, but, not PST.In theory, you are supposed to pay the sales tax at the receiving province.This isn’t always enforced, but it can be. A few years ago, people from Ottawa who had bought furniture as shops in Gatineau, to avoid Ontario tax found the Ontario government going after them for the tax after all.

You mean "Is there sales tax if you ship between provinces?"

identification to fly in canada where do we get it

If you are flying from one Canadian city to another a picture ID such as a Driver’s License, Student ID card is allowed.If you are flying into Canada from another country then you will be required to have a Passport, Passport Card or NEXUS card to check in, they will not allow you into the country without one of those 3 picture IDs.

Passport or driver’s license are the most common ones. Most provinces also have an official photo ID that’s similar to a driver’s license. Where you get it depends on what province or city you live in.

Any government issued identification card that shows a photograph of you.You do not need a passport to fly within Canada (assuming you’re a Canadian citizen and resident).

Apply for a passport.

You will need a passport and that will provide your photo ID

get a passport

Next summer my husband and I will be celebrating our 25th anniversary.I told him $5,000 would not be an unreasonable amount to spend as it equaled him paying $200 a year for 25 years of someone cooking, cleaning, raising his children, etc. (he agreed that was a good deal) We would like to take the Amtrak and get off somewhere in Montana and then drive up into Canada around the Calgary, Banff, Lake Louise and Jasper area.Is this an area with good roads up through the mountains?What else is there to do up there?Should we have reservations for everything ahead of time or would we have luck seeing a place we like and stopping there at the last minute and getting a hotel room.I would welcome any advice you might have for this trip.Thanks in advance

Besides the mountains you got alot of sight seeing destinations in Calgary, Edmonton, Jasper and Banff where you can see breathtaking views of the mountains. And then you got British Columbia which is also home to the Rockies and the highest point of the Rockies "Mount Robson" which might be hard to identify considering theres literally hundreds but that could also be a good point to go too.. like not climbing it but seeing it up close.

Hi everyone, I was waiting for my e mail to tell me to pick a Best Answer: and never got one Thank you to all of you for your help I took notes from every answer and appreciated your help, It got me started on my planning and gave me things to think about I probably wouldn’t have normally.

Banff and Lake Louise is one of the most beautiful areas in the country, and it’s easily accessible by road. The roads are very good, but they are mountain roads going through very scenic territory, so you’ll want to be careful when driving to stay under the speed limit and pull off when you want to take pictures.
Try googling BANFF and LAKE LOUISE HOTELS for information about places to stay.

All of the above are excellent descriptions of places in the mountains. However, if you get into the Kootenays, (strongly recommended) you really need to travel a bit farther west and get into the southern interior of British Columbia. Continue west on Highway 1 (the Trans Canada Hwy) and check out Revelstoke, Salmon Arm, The Shuswap Lakes area, and over to Kamloops. Or go south at Sicamous on Hwy 97A , through the Okanagan Valley and visit communities such as Vernon, Kelowna and Penticton. From Penticton you can continue south on Hwy 97 to Osoyoos and cross into the USA at Washington State.

Another route to consider if you cross the border at Waterton Park, Alberta is to travel west on Highway # 3 through the Crowsnest Pass. This highway stays fairly close to the American border as you travel west. When you get to Rock Creek, take Hwy 33 north through the Okanagan Valley to visit the communities of Penticton, Kelowna, Vernon, Salmon Arm, then west on Hwy 1 through to Kamloops, and beyond.

Whether you go the top route (Hwy 1) or the bottom route (Hwy 3) you end up in Kamloops.From there you can travel south to Vancouver and cross the border into the State of Washington.

BC highways are in excellent condition.I don’t recommend travelling at night because of wildlife on the roads. Deer, elk, moose and bear are large animals and will both wreck your vehicle if you hit them and create serious injury to yourselves.

Good luck and welcome to Canada.

The roads are good, but you do have to remember you’re in the mountains. If you’re not used to mountain driving, it can be a little nerve-wracking for an unconfident driver. Pay attention to signage telling you to slow down or warning of curves ahead, and keep your eyes on the road. That’s all. Pretty basic stuff. If there are signs warning of wildlife, keep your eyes peeled for that too. You’re most likely to get animals on the road around dawn and dusk and at night, and Montana has smaller highways where you might even run across range cattle.

In summer, it’s probably wise to book accommodation ahead. It’s prime tourist season and things do get busy. You might or might not find things available on the spur of the moment. Be generous when allowing driving time from one place to the next. That gets you off the road before dark, and allows you to stop here and there along the way. Spectacular scenery in the whole area. I usually find enough to do just looking at it but there are all kinds of activities available. Google different city or area names and there will be info on them.

Well congratulations on your 25th anniversary!

I’m from Alberta and grew up pretty close to the Rockies so I hope I can provide some good insight.

I would start your trip in Waterton National Park since it borders Glacier national park.There’s some really good hiking there with lots of canyons, lakes, etc.There’s also lots of mountain goats, black bears (don’t be too worried), all sorts of elk and deer, and on more than one occassion I have seen grizzlies there.

After that I’m not sure if you’re interested at all in going to the prairies of Alberta, but I think that the Brooks badlands are worth seeing.It’s a little out of your way, but if you got the time I would recommend it.It’s on the Red Deer river near Brooks, AB.They are way better than the ones in Drumheller.

I would recommend going from Waterton to Lundbreck and then go North on the Cowboy Trail.It will take you all the way to Priddis, very close to Calgary.Calgary is not a bad city… it’s alot bigger than alot of tourists expect it to be.There are some cool sights to see in Calgary, but I feel if you’re pressed for time just move on through to the mountains on Highway 1.

From highway one that will take you all the way to Banff.You’ll pass through Canmore, Dead man’s flats, and a good chunk of Banff national park on the highway.There is some good hiking trails out in Canmore and Dead Man’s Flats.Banff has alot to do, but It can get expensive out there.I would go to Lake Minnwenka or Johnson Lake around Banff, they are pretty nice and relaxing places.Once you get to Banff just go to the tourist kiosk they have downtown it’ll tell you everything.Banff is alot like other mountain tourist towns all over the Rockies, like Aspen for example.

I’m not really an expert on Jasper.I was raised in Calgary and now live in Lethbridge so I haven’t been exposed that far North very often.I have travelled the highway between Banff and Jasper on the highway once and it was absolutley gorgeous.

Other things to check out in Southern Alberta/BC:

1)Nelson, BC (it’s out of your way, but it’s a cool hippie town.American draft dodgers in Vietnam established quite a presence there and none of them ever really left.it’s a very unique counter-culture in the kootenays and i really enjoy going there).

2)Radium Hot Springs, BC (very beautiful area).

3)St. Mary Reservoir, Alberta (I’m not sure where you’re from, but irrigation is HUGE in Southern Alberta.Alot of folks seem to really marvel at the engineered lakes and bodies of water here, and this particular reservoirs is a favourite fishing spot of mine.You have an excellent view of the Rockies and it’s in Mormon/cowboy/Blood Indian country.There’s even a hutterite colony pretty close by, so you really get a mix of people out there.I never thought of it but once I took an American friend of mine from Michigan out there and she was just blown away by it.So since then I’ve decided i would recommend it).

4)The Cypress Hills (if you ever get that far east).

5)Anywhere along the Porcupine hills… very nice country out there.Lots of snowmobilers in the winter and lots of hikers and off-road enthusiasts in the summer.Most of it is owned by private farmers and ranchers though so you usually have to ask permission.Lots of good fishing holes too.

6)Anywhere in the Kootenay mountain range of BC.The mountains there are a little smaller.. a little older, more scalped out with more tree cover.Amazing lakes out there… everyone from Alberta goes to the Kootenays for vacation in the summer.

The roads should be just fine, especially if you’re coming in the summer. Sometimes on the BC side the trans-canada goes to two-lane and that can suck, but on the Alberta side it’s all
four lane.The road from Banff to Jasper was just fine when i went on it.

I can’t say for Jasper because I’m just not familiar enough, but for cheap overnight trips try the following areas:

1)For Waterton, stay in Cardston or Pincher Creek.WAY cheaper.
2)For Banff, stay in Dead Man’s flats… decent hotels there and they are about half the price you’d get in Banff.
3)Hotels in BC are usually relatively cheap but perhaps just do some scouting if you decide to go out there.
4)Prairie hotels are all relatively cheap just make sure you’re not going to a town when it’s rodeo weekend.

There’s tons of provincial parks and sight seeing areas all over the place, there should be signs on the highway for all of them.

I think that just about covers everything.Oh yes, also, get Canadian dollars most merchants here don’t like dealing with American dollars (although most will probably take it, you’ll get a horrible exchange rate).

Can a tourist or permenant resident of Canada cross the Ambassador Bridge from Windsor, Ontario to Detroit, Michigan?

If so, how? what is needed? and how long can I stay over the border For?
Or do you have to be a Canadian Citizen?

I ask this because I am thinking of moving to Canada from the UK when I am older, I am currently 16 and I think would be helpful to know these things in advance.

Thanks

Yes, tourists and permanent residents can cross the Ambassador Bridge.
(Or any other border crossing between Canada and the United States for that matter.)
There’s nothing special about that particular bridge except the volume of trade which crosses it.

What’s needed is some form of transportation to cross the bridge.
And being able to satisfy American and Canadian border requirements whilst going and coming.
For example, the UK is a country that doesn’t require an entry Visa to visit the US.
But you do require ESTA registration http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/withou??

You are thinking of moving to Canada when you are older…but your main concern is being able to cross the Detroit/Windsor bridge into the US, rather than what steps are necessary for you to be able to move to Canada?

I don’t know much about canada but people always tell me that it is nice. I would like to go to canada for 2 days to see what the environment is like, the people, the businesses and just learn as much as I possibly can. How expensive are motels? Would someone kindly share the areas that I may stay? How cold does it get? When is the time that it mostly gets cold? Please help.

Canada is the 2nd largest country on Earth, larger than the United States in terms of size.
But in terms of population, we only have a fraction of the population that the US does.
Don’t let that fool you, however.
Even though most of Canada is pristine wilderness with some of the most gorgeous scenery on planet Earth, we also have world class cities like Toronto http://cache.virtualtourist.com/2626940-??

In point of fact, year after year Canadian cities are voted best in the world. Three are in the top 5: Vancouver, British Columbia; Calgary, Alberta and Toronto, Ontario. http://news.nationalpost.com/2011/02/22/??
Unfortunately, no US cities have made that list in quite some time.

We’re rated internationally as being the world’s friendliest country http://ca.travel.yahoo.com/guides/Other/?? and its second happiest http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/2L7StS/blo??

We’re the most educated country in the world, with a majority of our population having at least one college or university degree http://www.livingabroadincanada.com/2010??

Our economy is strong, and survived the Global Financial Crisis far better than America’s did.
Thanks, in large part, to us having what’s rated as the world’s best banking system http://news.everest.ca/post/2011/06/cana??

You’ll find much that’s familiar here: McDonalds, Burger King, Wal Mart, Starbucks.
And some that’s a bit different from what you’re used to: Tim Hortons, Zellers and the Bay.

In terms of climate, it’s pretty much the same as Pennsylvania almost everywhere.
Warm, humid summers and cold & snowy winters.
But same as everywhere else you go, the further north you go, the colder it gets.

If you’re interested in seeing a mix of our villages, towns and cities then I’d recommend the Province of Ontario.
Villages like Elora or Fergus, towns like Goderich or Listowel, and cites like Kitchener and Toronto would give you a good cross-sample of Canadian society.
As for hotels and motels, try Trip Advisor.com to find reviews and prices in your budget range: http://www.tripadvisor.ca/

Hope this helps and good luck with wherever you choose to live.

Peaches: Glad to help, just send me a note and I’ll advise you as best I can.

Another thing to consider, is that you cannot just up and move here because you want to. You must apply to the government to be accepted to live here…..which means you must have some sort of special skill or trade or an educational background that we are short on in our own society…..and get in line behind the million other applicants Canada gets per year.

Peaches, Canada is larger than the United States. When you say you want to know about Canada, you have to specify which part of the country. There are no limits to where you can travel, but you have to narrow your search a bit. Have you tried googling ‘Canada’ to find a map, and learn a bit about the country?

Good luck on moving to Canada! I just wanted to move to Alaska,I had to get a passport first.It’s an expensive place to live just like Alaska,cold,beautiful place,there speed limit signs are in kilometers.

How much do you think you can learn in 2 days? Have you looked at the size of Canada? What part were you going to go to? You need to be more specific.

Where in Canada? It’s a HUGE country and very diverse. If you can narrow down which province and rural, town or city, we can help you out.

How do I respond to the person that wrote an answer to my question. I cannot find the instructions. I am on my cell. Thank you.

When you’re on your cell phone, you don’t get the option to ‘add details’ to a question. I’m on my cell as well. That means you can’t thumbs up or thumbs down an answer, either. Oh! You also can’t add anyone to your contacts. You have to be on a computer to do any of those things.

T-Money is right! I can’t do anything on my cell phone either :’(

Just repost again, with the added details.
