I was in Newfoundland in July and I noticed a few interesting things:

- The houses tended to be colorful

- Almost all the buildings I saw looked like they were just painted, I did see a couple buildings with peeling paint, but I think they were abandoned

- I personally saw around 10 different people in the middle of painting their houses just driving along in remote rural areas, all in the span of about a week. Where I live (in California), I only see this about once every 5 years.

- Paint stores are widespread, even in small rural towns where there are hardly any businesses at all

I don't know why the people of Newfoundland love painting their buildings so much, but it really makes the place look nice.
