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.

Host family drama/ first class!

North America » Canada » Quebec » Québec City

The Slop!
This is the plate of food that my temporary host mom gave me to eat! I couldn't force myself to do so.

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.

First of Quebec

North America » Canada » Quebec » Québec City

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]

Bonjour

North America » Canada » Quebec » Québec City

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]

Mel on the ferry to Quebec City from Levis

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]

Quelques jours avant le départ...

North America » Canada » Quebec » Québec City

Chez moi...
le fleuve Saint-Laurent et l'île d'Orléans depuis mon balcon à Lévis.

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 po [View Full Entry]

Partir

North America » Canada » Quebec » Québec City

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 [View Full Entry]

Moi et flora

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]
