Drink tea, discuss the weather and look at pictures of the Queen. Just kidding! We're not that different to you guys. We have a pretty similar culture to you. We have a lot less open spaces than you guys though, so we tend to be a bit less 'outdoorsy' than you can be. Exactly what your cousin likes to get up to will largely depend on how old they are but I expect you'll find plenty of stuff that you can do together. |

as you say you are cousins, not from a different planet, just 3000 down the road, try to treat him/her like a regular person and do what you normally do, well, within reason,, have fun |

I'm going to Canada to stay with my cousin this Summer. As I know nothing about Canada I am hoping that my cousin will play tour guide and show me around. |

Is this guy/girl Liverpudlian? You may have a hard time understanding the accent - it's totally different to any of the other British accents.
English guys (and sometimes girls) tend to be football mad (do you guys call it soccer?). I know people from cities like Liverpool/Manchester/Birmingham etc like to do things like go to clubs and restaurants, especially if they are a young proffessional. Shopping is a major passtime for girls like this and more recently guys! Cinemas are popular.
I have heard that some people here are reluctant to try new foods and prefer our own dishes of (get this): fish and chips (the unofficial national dish), chinese or indian takeaway (not exactly like the real thing).
Oh, and don't forget the nations love of beer: bitter, lager whatever we love it.
We don't usually insist on afternoon tea (like our reputation) of cucumber sandwiches, strawberry and cream scones and sweet milky tea. I don't actualy know of ANYONE who does this (well mabye somewhere someperson does!).
If I personally were your cousin then I would love to be shown the local culture and do things you guys like to do for a change. |

Don't worry about what your cousin likes to do - show them what it is YOU like to do - otherwise they might as well have stayed at home :-) |

Show your cousin the sights of Canada,i used to live in Canada,now i live in Liverpool.
The sights of Canada can only been seen on the tv so show them how you live. |

probably the same as you do. why don't you email him and ask if there is anything specific he would like to do or see while he is in canada. he may just want to chill out, have a few beers
and catch up with family who i am assuming he has not seen for a while, seeing as you know nothing about him/her. good luck and have a great time. |

Why don't you ask him/her what they're in to? My friend from London went to Toronto and came back early because he was soooo.... bored. The key thing he couldn't get used to was the time it took to get anywhere and the fact that you needed a car to do everything.
Most sports are different and would probably enjoy it more if they were taking part rather than watching. Also unless it's sport gear or cheap, shopping is no comparison the style or quality you get in Europe. Pretty much into the same music, computer games, clubbing stuff like you. Any amazing tourist sites, beaches would be good. Or even camping in the rockies would be great. Good luck |
