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.

Hallo meine Lieben! Jetzt ist es nun schon fast eine Woche her, dass ich Toronto und die Schiesters (Anna, ich hoffe du bist wohlauf in Oesterreich angekommen!) verlassen habe und hier in Montreal erstmals francophonen Boden betreten habe und es gefaellt mir spitzenmaessig. Ich "wohne" hier bei Francois, ein Kontakt, den ich ueber www.couchsurfing.com machen konnte. Diese Plattform ist echt super, nicht nur, dass man einen gratis Schlafplatz ueberall auf der Welt bekommt, sondern auch ueber die Leute eine engere Beziehung zur Stadt/ dem Land. Ich konnte mit Francois (Computer engineering S [View Full Entry]

Avant d'atterir, on avait une super belle vue sur Montréal! Tout d'abord l'est de la ville (on ne sait pas pourquoi l'est quand on arrivait de Toronto, mais c'était bien l'est!), puis le centre-ville.... [more]
Oui on est revenus! Nos vols se sont bien déroulés, ils étaient un peu plus courts qu'à l'aller (11h au lieu de 13h pour Tokyo - Toronto). Notre journée a été longue quand même, nous sommes décollés à 17h heure de Tokyo, pour arriver à 16h, le même jour, heure de Toronto. Il y a donc 12 heures de trop dans notre journée! Nous sommes arrivés à la maison vers 21h (2 heures d'attente à Toronto puis 1h de vol vers Montréal), soit 10h du matin à Tokyo. Ça fait donc environ 26h qu'on est levés. Le plus drôle, c'est d'avoir [View Full Entry]

Bonjour, Notre grand départ approche. Nous sommes vendredi(14 septembre) et nous partons en autobus pour New York lundi matin(17 septembre). Notre vol est à partir de l'aéroport JFK de New York. Les billets d'avion étaient moins cher et c'est un vol direct. C'est quand même un vol de 17 heures sans escales! Donc nous sommes dans les préparatifs. On a l'impression qu'il reste toujours quelque chose à faire. À chaque jour depuis deux semaines on se fait des listes de choses à faire (des to-do-list) et on dirait qu'elles s'allongent de jour en jour! C'est difficile de tout prévoir lorsqu'on par [View Full Entry]

With near perfect timing as soon as I had finished, my travelblog crashed. I have now finally got round to fixing it and reposted it. Sorry for the delay. By way of an added bonus here are some photos covering my travels across Alaska and Canada in August and September. Alain and I rode south from Fairbanks down to a very damp Blue Grass music festival in Talkeetna. Weather and music quite disappointing. Lots and lots and lots of rain listening to ropey Eagles covers. Not quite the Northern Exposure counter-culture experience I had been hoping for. Still we have been [View Full Entry]

Shazza taking in the sea air
So from Saint John, New Brunswick, Shazza and I took the coast road around the Bay of Fundy. Sick of all the straight highways, Shazza loved getting onto some curved ocean roads. Famous for having the world's highest tides, the bay had some interesting coastline features, like "flower-pot islands". That night we finally made it to Halifax, thus successfully completing our west to east coast journey. The hostel that night was one to forget- I was given a top bunk, right next to a sun-rising window with no curtains and a mattress filled with sand. The shower only had enough water [View Full Entry]

Nach 30 Stunden (oder so) Flug angekommen in Rawdon. Inzwischen auch schon ein bisschen rumgekommen, hauptsaechlich in Montreal und den Vorstaedten (Laval, hier kann ich uebernachten und habe guten Anschluss zur U-Bahn). Rawdon selber hat nicht viel zu bieten ausser einen Busbahnhof wo ich fuer 11$ nach M-City gebracht werde (dauert 40 min). [View Full Entry]

Oh oui. Il ne reste plus qu'une semaine avant de partir..... Je ne pars pas en paix comme je l'avais imaginée... Je suis stressée, j'ai des doutes et des questions plein la tête.... Mais à ce qu'il paraît, vaut mieux avoir des remords d'avoir fait quelque chose que des regrets de ne pas l'avoir fait... Et puis, peut-être que quand je serai sur une plage de Sydney, mon 5L de vin à 8$ (et oui, ça existe ça là-bas!) à côté de moi, que je serai entourée de surfers..... ben, peut-être que je changerai d'avis!

I am SOOOO lucky! I remember asking my boss if I could take time off to travel the world. He gave me this "are you crazy- no f**king way" look. It seemed that the only acceptable way to leave work for a long period of time was to get pregnant and go on maternity leave! You can't leave to travel the world that way! If you get the chance, you go work for a big financially unstable company. Cross your fingers, hope for somesort of restructuring plan to come along and beg to be put on the "to layoff" list. Yahoo!

Only.... Firstly I would just like to say that everything I write in my blogs are my own personal thoughts and opinions and I do not and have never had the intention to offend or force my beliefs on anyone. I am a person and always have been a perso to say "you believe what you wont and I belive what I wont and even if my views are different I will always respect yours! Everyone is free to think and believe what they wish!" Every word I write here is my own way of thinking and whenever I mention England [View Full Entry]

Old City of Quebec II
The architecture of Old Quebec is very European looking; except It was much cleaner and very peaceful.
Wow! Montreal... awesome place. Although I was initially dissappointed Emilie didn't come to Vancouver, I am now very happy to have gone to Montreal and also Quebec City. I had a lot of fun, Quebec is just incredibly beautiful and Montreal is a very happening party place. I stayed with Emilie in Montreal at her place on Saturday night, then we headed to Quebec City to see old Quebec and visit her parents who made a delicious dinner for us. Monday we spent the day at 6 Flags in Montreal which was much better than Playland in Vancouver. Tuesday me and [View Full Entry]
