Quebec 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.

Arrived Sunday evening on VIA Rail Canada (the train). We traveled from Niagara Falls through Toronto. The ride was about 5 hours long and went well. The cost was around $170 each. Trains are very clean and roomy. We arrived in Montreal's train station at 9:50pm and found a room online for $99. The hotel is the Grand Plaza Centre-Ville. It's a nice clean hotel. The cab ride to the hotel cost about $10. We were warned by the cab driver that some of the areas near the hotel is not safe. We took his advice and stayed in and ordered [View Full Entry]

In exchange for the many promises I had to make in order to finance the next 3 months of my life, I was able to come into possession of a certain amount of “air-points”. For those of you fortunate enough to live where there are “air-miles” reward miles, “air-points” are like the shitty metric version of air-miles. I speculate, named so only because “air-kilometers” sounds cumbersome and nugatory. Worth considerably less, owing to the unreasonable expense of flying within, and without of Canada from any Canadian city, most air-points even come [View Full Entry]

Quebec just celebrated her 400th anniversary last year, and this gorgeous part of the world is known throughout Canada as La Belle Province. This is where you will find a little bit of Europe right in the heart of North America. The Province features magnificent cities such as Montreal and Quebec City, as well as some of the most spectacular natural scenery in Canada. I'm delighted to be spending time with my lovely host at her new apartment in the centre of Quebec City, from where it is a skip and a jump to the Old Town in all it’s winter [View Full Entry]

OK. So we’ve established that in order for me to get back to the place I wanted to be in life, that I needed to grow up and get over myself and go to Europe to see what all the noise was about. So the lingering question for most people was, who is Mai? To put it strangely. Mai was half of the 1 1/4 girlfriends I had for a period of 8 days during the middle of college playoffs. Sound confusing? It is. Just how I came up with that mixed-fraction is a story for another time, but it is [View Full Entry]

So instead of writing all the minute details of every trip I take I think I'll make this more of a photo journal. Life as a student is hectic to say the least, so I'll post my photos and give some explanations here and there! Sound good? Great! My friend Aias and I wanted to do something fun for the fourth of July weekend this year. We originally thought of driving to Chicago, hear some good blues and explore the city. I had never been before so it sounded like a great plan. One night I got a message from him [View Full Entry]

Going into Quebec I had to remind myself that I wasn't entering a different country. I needn't have bothered, since it was exactly like being in a different country. Montreal Montreal was nice - an older city, with some interesting architecture and lots of night life. I couchsurfed with a native - Nathalie - who took me on a quick guided tour of the city when I arrived, which included a trip to her favourite place to sample the local delicacy, Poutine. This is a weird dish consisting of chips, covered in cheese curds and a generous helping of gravy. Tasted [View Full Entry]

A caustic chill is brewing in the air. A fortnight ago Dave and I were cruising through our local farmers market in shorts and a tan. We went to sleep one night and awoke in a spectacularly frozen stupor. Wrapped in thermals, gloves, beanies and knee-high waterproof boots, our morning stroll through Central Park has transmuted into an epic battle against the harshest elements. I think I might be to blame. After 3 days of roadtripping through frostbitten French Canada, the Miller-King family and I farewelled boring Montreal (with gigantic smiles), lost a passenger (Robot) and inadvertent [View Full Entry]
