Tim Horton's

This is the name of a chain of Canadian donut and coffee shops. It is very similar to "Mister Donuts" in Japan, or "Starbucks" in the U.S.

Tim Horton's is named after a --what else?--- famous hockey player. Shops can found all across Canada, but, --TRIVIA TIME!-- the city of Moncton (my parent's hometown) has the highest number of shops per capita (= per number of people) than anywhere else in Canada! There are 40 Tim Horton's coffee shops and about 150,000 people living in this Eastern Canada town. Wow.

Some people visit the shop up to 6 times a day! There are often long line ups at the drive-thru windows as well.

We stopped by, even though we're not big fans of Tim's, to drink a hot chocolate. It was sooooo sweet!

"Going to Timmy's" as many Canadians say, is a big part of our culture. Friends will gather here to enjoy a coffee and chat. You must visit a shop at least once to get a taste of true Canadiana. I hope you will try. ^_^
