Montréal Travel Blogs

Background: A land of vast distances and rich natural resources, Canada became a self-governing dominion in 1867 while retaining ties to the British crown. Economically and technologically the nation has developed in parallel with the US, its neighbor to the south across an unfortified border. Canada's paramount political problem is meeting public demands for quality improvements in health care and education services after a decade of budget cuts. The issue of reconciling Quebec's francophone heritage with the majority anglophone Canadian population has moved to the back burner in recent years; support for separatism abated after the Quebec government's referendum on independence failed to pass in October of 1995.

So instead of writing all the minute details of every trip I take I think I'll make this more of a photo journal. Life as a student is hectic to say the least, so I'll post my photos and give some explanations here and there! Sound good? Great! My friend Aias and I wanted to do something fun for the fourth of July weekend this year. We originally thought of driving to Chicago, hear some good blues and explore the city. I had never been before so it sounded like a great plan. One night I got a message from him [View Full Entry]

Marche Jean-Talon was SENSATIONAL! You are probably thinking that my view of a trip to a produce market is biased, since I am a dietician. Yes, the market is a dietitian's paradise, but, the morning at the Market Jean-Talon was so much more than a delight to my senses. It was colorful and delicious, but it was also a dive, or a peek, into the the world of many locals. I learned so much as... - I saw what people bought to eat, and more impressive, what they were going to cook. Everything was fresh and raw. Impressive to see people [View Full Entry]

A caustic chill is brewing in the air. A fortnight ago Dave and I were cruising through our local farmers market in shorts and a tan. We went to sleep one night and awoke in a spectacularly frozen stupor. Wrapped in thermals, gloves, beanies and knee-high waterproof boots, our morning stroll through Central Park has transmuted into an epic battle against the harshest elements. I think I might be to blame. After 3 days of roadtripping through frostbitten French Canada, the Miller-King family and I farewelled boring Montreal (with gigantic smiles), lost a passenger (Robot) and inadvertent [View Full Entry]

Bonjour! It’s a hot and muggy afternoon in Florida, with the thermometer registering 97F, and I am shopping for a wool coat and long boots. The insanity is justified, however. I’m travelling to Montreal in a couple of days, and it’s minus 1 to 6 degrees Celsius (31F)! Changing from flip-flops and orange-blue summery outfit (the Gators’ homecoming explains the choice of colors) to somber and heavy clothing, I headed to the airport under one of those stormy Floridian afternoons. Charged $25 per checked bag, I am reminded that we are still in recession mode. On t [View Full Entry]

One of the most startling things moving to Canada from Europe, is the much maligned vacation allowance. In order to maximise the opportunity to see Canada, we decided to set of for a rather long road trip to Montreal for Thanksgiving. All of our Canadian colleagues have no issue driving long distances and see this as part of the norm- which is hugely different from my usual plans; as I would rather take a short plane trip easyjet style. Anyway, after work on the Friday, we filled up the Jeep, set the GPS and set of for Montreal. As we knew [View Full Entry]

Another travel blog, for those still reading After spending a month in sunny England i was very ready to be leaving to another country. OK, so its not that I dislike England. I loved been there with all my friends and such. But the weather depressed me.....and the thought of going to Canada was an exciting one. I was a bit nervous about the Canadian border, after hearing a couple of stories of people been turned away or crazy questioning. I dunno why I was nervous I was perfectly legal, but i guess I wanted to be in Canada so much, [View Full Entry]

Beste bloggers,Swingers & Fluffers Na een lange periode van stilte.....Aanschouw de nieuwe editie van A&I in Canada. Er is een beetje te veel gebeurd hier om jullie overal van mee te laten genieten maar hier toch een poging met een wat beknopte versie. Naast onze gezinsuitbreiding hier op St Marc met 2 sportvissen aka Charles& Orangina is de familie Slobbe/Kooistra ook uitgebreid. Hij luistert naar de naam Julian en is een helft van een 2-eiige tweeling helaas is zijn zus Fleur niet meer bij ons. Verder maken pappa en mamma het goed (naast wat slaap te kort waarschijnlijk). Julian g [View Full Entry]

After waking up and packing up to go we hit Quebec city. We only had a few hours there and wondered into the old town inside the walls. It was a stunning place with some great views of the bay and ships. It seemed really strange being in Canada but the city was like anywhere in France. Then we headed into the farmers market and grabbed some much needed brekkie after last night's disaster meal! After strolling the streets we jumped back in the car and headed down the road for the 3 hour drive to Montreal. Arriving in Montreal you [View Full Entry]

Première entrée... petit test juste pour voir On a hâte, on est énervés, on se peut pu, on stresse en se demandant ce qu'on a pu oublier, ce qui reste à faire... y reste à peine une semaine avant de faire le sac et de décoller, c'est la folie ! J'ai encore plein de questions, je sais que j'en aurai encore même si j'avais encore deux mois pour me préparer, c'est pu grave, faut s'y faire, à l'incertitude, on s'y attend... c'est paradoxal. Anyway, on a hâte et on attend ! [View Full Entry]

Wow, we’ve made it Montreal and the worst concept of immigration I have encountered in all my travel years. With no facility for Canadians for an express lane made for a long queue and as usual I wasn’t feeling very flash with a mighty headache that was possibly the result of watching movies for nearly 7 hours on the flight. Anyway we split up at the immigration desks and after a slight but not ruthless grilling I was through in a matter of minutes. Jay must have looked more dubious than I as he was grilled and asked to product documentation [View Full Entry]
