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.

Vancouver Airport
Where I spent the night.

Et je suis arrivée! After leaving school Thursday night at 9 by taxi with 3 other kids to the ferry, arriving at Vancouver at 1:30am. Spent the next few hours buying some food at Timmy's and met this skiier/boarder who still had a google tan. He came to my table and we started chatting. Told me how Island girls have a reputation of being wild. Okaay. I didn't let him know my age though. He told me all about his being stalled at the airport for 6 hours because of some plane problems. I wasn't really paying attention. I was half [View Full Entry]

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]

Mon pays ce n'est pas un pays, c'est l'hiver!

North America » Canada » Quebec

In a little (very little) less than 2 months, I'll be enjoying all the sun and the beaches Sydney has to offer. Unfortunately, at the moment I am still stuck in this Winter Wonderland. It has been snowing quite a lot in the past few days and this snow is here to stay. On a more positive note, almost everything I had to do is done. I've got my visa, my plane ticket, inssurance, I registered for my classes and applied to live in residence. Now I just have to cross my fingers that I get accepted. If not, I'll do [View Full Entry]
