Québec City 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.

Quebec, Montreal

North America » Canada » Quebec » Québec City

is oollllldddd and extremely loud as EVERYTHING seems to be under construction. I toured the Governor-General's residence at the Citadel, the old fort that protects the entrance to the rest of the river. Learned a lot about Canada's government from a very helpful guide, I was the only one on the tour. Anyway I have some more pics up, just a few from camping, Montreal and Quebec. http://picasaweb.google.com/wired1000/IMLeavingMontreal [View Full Entry]

A Weekend in Quebec

North America » Canada » Quebec » Québec City

Sanctuaire Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupre

On the drive to Quebec, somewhere between the U.S. border and Montreal, we stopped off at a McDonald's for a quick dinner. We got a few funny looks because there probably aren't too many Chinese people in that area. It's not something completely unusual, so I got over it quick. At the McDonald's, some tour bus dropped off a bus full of kids. This one kid in particular was waiting in line in front of us. He turned around, sees us through his camera, and started speaking to us in French. We asked him to speak in English since we couldn't [View Full Entry]

Our First Flat
My saddest sad face, fixing a tire.

Fredericton was very good to us. We washed ourselves, and our sleeping bags, and everything felt very nice as we climbed out of town. We were off, 500km to Quebec city. About 70 km into our first day out of Fredericton, at precisely the same time as it started to poor with rain, I hit a rock, that popped my innertube, and wrecked my tire as well. We have lots of spare tubes, and a spare tire as well, so it didnt slow us down too much. We finished in Woodstock, where we had originally planned. We camped under a [View Full Entry]

Hey oui, nous voici revnues à Québec. Désolé pour nos milliers de fans du blog. Nous avons été d'une lâcheté incroyable pour faire le suivi. Mais nous pouvons vous assurer qu'il ne représente aucunement notre voyage ;oP. Disons également que la vitesse des ordinateurs a quelque peu joué sur notre impatience... Pour conclure se blog, nous vous conseillions fortement d'aller voir par vous même les merveilles de l'Équateur. Pays plein de contradiction par ses plages merveilleuses, sees vagues parfaites, ses routes escarpées, ses montagnes qui ne finissent plus de finir et les gens merveilleux [View Full Entry]

Party Weekend!

North America » Canada » Quebec » Québec City

Yuppee! This weekend was jam-packed with exciting events and stories. On Thursday night we went out to celebrate a few birthday's that were happening here and someone suggested that we start the night off at the worst bar ever! This bar was soooo bad, it actually deserves a paragraph of its own... Jen and Denean, you may remember our experience in Sydney on May 28th (Denean's Birthday) where we went to the Spectrum to dance, then later discovered that it was heavy metal night:S Well..this situation was very similar. It was called L'Audace (more like la ass) and it costed 12$ [View Full Entry]

Billiards!
Andria causin' a rukus at the billiard club

Wow! Surprisingly I have had unexpected requests about the absence of frequent entries into my travel blog. Now, before you all gain an unworthy amount of respect for me, you should know that most of these requests came from my family. The truth is I am sooo busy these days that I have to plan my blog-writing time accordingly. Nonetheless, a lot has happened in the last week and a half and I will now spill the beans about my current affairs. Monday morning was our first day of school :) We were brought to the caféteria where we were [View Full Entry]

Spring break, Groen water, en Groen gras

North America » Canada » Quebec » Québec City

Heey allemaal, even een update uit het niet meer zo koude Canada. Hoewel het bij jullie blijkbaar zo'n 15-20 graden is, ben ik hier al heel blij met de enkele graden boven nul die we hier nu hebben. Ik zit nu voor een raam in de woonkamer, met een prachtig uitzicht over The Valley. Over een uurtje ga ik weer naar school, naar softball tryouts, daarover meer later. Eerst March Break: In de nacht van vrijdag naar zaterdag met een groep van zo'n 20-30 andere grade 12's van NKEC in een bus naar Quebec. De bus vertrok om 5 uur 's [View Full Entry]
