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.

Goodbye Hiroshima
A shot of the Atomic Bomb Dome taken on the author's last night in Hiroshima before heading home for the holidays. It will be a while before he sees this sight again.

My holidays started with a nice dinner among friends at No No Budo, a local favourite offering an all-you-can-eat buffet of organically produced Japanese foods. After completely stuffing ourselves to the point of bursting if we were to eat a wafer thin, I came to the conclusion that the term “all-you-can-eat” is a little misleading. No one eats all they can eat at an all-you-can-eat buffet. More accurately, they eat all they can, plus a little more. Thus the term should be recoined to be "a-little-more-than-you-should-eat" buffet. Having done exactly that, I was feeling rather [View Full Entry]

19.11.2005, 15:30 Uhr - Schneetreiben

North America » Canada » Quebec » Montréal

Bonjour!
Hoch oben auf dem Mont Royal!

Bonsoir. Je m'apelle Kai! Je voudrais manger un Bic Mac avec une Coca sans calories. s'il vous plait! Ja, ja...mein Franzoesisch ist ja sowas von mies. Aber macht nix - die Leute sind hier alle ganz nett und verstehen meist, was ich von ihnen will. Der heutige Tag war bisher echt anstrengend. Seit heute morgen schneit es unaufhoerlich und die Strassen sind ziemlich glatt. Natuerlich musste ich gerade fuer den heutigen Tag meine Bergsteiger-Tour auf den "Mont Royal" - dem hoechsten Berg direkt vor der Stadt - geplant haben. Um halb neun hab ich mich auf den Weg gemacht und bin [View Full Entry]

Burgerbude
Gesaettigt und bereit zur Weiterfahrt!

Mes chers amis, endlich habe ich ein Internetcafe gefunden. Es liegt mitten im chinesischen Viertel und ist ziemlich heruntergekommen... Die Chinesen sprechen aber franzoesich - witzig... Eine anstrengende, 8 Stuendige Fahrt liegt nun hinter mir. Ich habe Toronto heute morgen nach einem ausgedehnten Fruehstueck in Richtung Montreal verlassen und bin direkt am direkt am Ontario River und anschliessend am beruehmten St. Lorenz Strom entlang gefahren. Direkt vorbei an den 1000 Islands, von denen uebringens auch das bekannte Dressing stammt. Die Inseln liegen zu tausenden direkt im Fluss un [View Full Entry]

Day 3: The Conference begins!

North America » Canada » Quebec » Montréal

$1 $1 $1 $1 $1 $1
Doooooood. $1. That's all I can say.

Today is actually December 3, so my memory of the trip is starting to fuzz around the edges.. Check-in for the conference was at 5pm, and Andrea had class that day, so it was Candy Takes on Montreal Day! I had big big plans, and so little time! We start the day off with the Last Supper (breakfast) at Andrea's; I shall miss her bachelorette pad, but I commemorated it by taking lots of photos. Somehow we managed to get my hugeass luggage down the stairs (she lives on 2nd floor), and since it was a nice day we decided [View Full Entry]
