Quebec is one of those cities that impresses you from the time you arrive, which is a big call after a journey that's taken 27 hours door to door. Although our arrival in Toronto on the way is equally imprinted in my mind, but that was only because the pilot tried to leave a Zorro mark on the runway as he landed. There's nothing like a left turn, right turn, left turn as you touchdown! But the landing in Quebec was much less spooky. Today was the first time that the rest of the crew got a look at the site [View Full Entry]

Well after leaving Winnipeg and jumping on a plane we headed to Hamilton (Hamilton being about halfway between Toronto and Niagara). We picked up our car and then proceeded to head off to Niagara Falls by what I like to describe as the most scenic way possible. Niagara Falls in really tacky especially around Clinton Hill (Think Cavill Ave gone mental). After we got over out initial shock we walked around to the falls which are amazing! The next day we headed up to Niagara on the lake. Talk about complete opposites, it was a beautiful little picture postcard town surrounded [View Full Entry]

Two days ago I was supposed to be picked up from the hostel by my host mom, but she never showed up. I guess she thought I was coming next week or something- either way this program is so disorganized. So I ended up having to go to this other lady's house for this week and it really sucks. The women is so nice and knows enough English that I can survive, but only talks to me in French unless I really need help. The food here is so bad tho that I can't eat it.

I got to Quebec yesterday and it is AMAZING! I am still couchsurfing, but the girl I am staying with is like gonna be one of my friends here. She's really awesome and our age. There is also another couchsurfer staying here who just so happens to be in my program- so I've already made a friend in my program- he's not from OU, and I think he is a little better at french so we probably won't be in the same class, but I will see him alot I think- because the program is kinda small. I went to [View Full Entry]

Hi all, We are in beautiful Quebec city but the weather is not so beautiful. Still we are getting out and about and enjoying what we can. We got here yesterday afternoon and did some wandering about. We were fortunate to get a B&B for the night - we got a cancellation! Anyways it is very eclectic shall we say. Paul took some pics so we'll post them later. Very nice though. Anyways, sorry it is so short but we are about to head out and enjoy some of the sights - and hopefully stay somewhat dry. All for now. LPS [View Full Entry]

The drive to Québec was pretty boring. Along the way, we stopped for a poutine soup (tip: don’t ask for extra gravy and cheese in the province of Québec because they will give you lots!) at a restauraut at Trois Pistoles. Afterwards, our GPS took us to Levis, where we took a ferry that took us across the St-Laurence river straight to Québec city. It is funny because, it rained during the whole drive, but as soon as we got on the boat, it stopped raining. We were quite lucky for that part! The boat ride was really nice because we [View Full Entry]

Enfin les grandes vacances! C'est le temps pour moi de reprendre la route et je dois dire que je suis assez fébrile... Je poursuivrai donc cet été mon périple américain en explorant la côte Atlantique jusqu'aux Keys de Floride, puis je longerai le golfe du Mexique jusqu'à la Nouvelle-Orléans pour remonter ensuite le Mississippi jusqu'à Memphis et Nashville. J'escaladerai en fin les plus hauts sommets des Appalaches dans les Great Smokey Mountains pour revenir au Québec quelque part en août. Un de mes objectifs et de rencontrer le plus de gens possible pour me faire une idée la plus juste possible [View Full Entry]

Ça y est : dans moins d’une semaine, je m’envolerai en direction de l’Afrique, ou plus précisément de Kigali, Rwanda. Ce sera mon deuxième passage sur ce continent oublié, mais inoubliable, et la première étape de mon périple d’un an qui me mènera à travailler deux mois à l’hôpital universitaire de Butare, une ville du Rwanda, ainsi qu’à d’autres hôpitaux rwandais, puis en Écosse pour 6 mois, et pour le reste… on verra ! Il me reste donc une semaine pour tout préparer, faire mes valises, finaliser les achats de dernière minute ainsi que tester le fameux Lariam qui est censé [View Full Entry]

Et voilà c'est parti!!! Charles Il ne reste que quelque temps avant de se séparer et d'aller vers des continent bien différent. Un océan et des milliers de kilomètres vont nous séparer!! J'ai passé commencer un petit blog pour toujours pouvoir nous rapprocher. Je sais le temps et les distances peuvent nous faner, mais ce n'est que si moi de désespoir et de solitude, que nous allons bientot affronter. Ici on va toujours pouvoir ce voir, même si c pas comme en vrai, c'est toujours une petite partie de moi ou de toi qui sera si facile à attraper au passage. [View Full Entry]
