Québec (partie 2)/Fin de session

Bonjour readers. It’s been quite a while since my last posting. The last month and a half has been extremely busy for me with school here and preparing for the next semester back at RIC, but here is the long awaited post! The semester is coming to a close and I’ll give my final thoughts …

Québec (Première Partie)/ Québec City (Part 1)

Bonjour readers! Last week I had the privilege of going and spending a few days in Québec City. Québec City is the capital of the province and one of the oldest cities in North America. It is a popular tourist destination and one of Canada’s most important economic centers. It takes about 3.5 hours to …

Les élections canadiennes

Bonsoir à tous mes lecteurs! Ce sera un petit article en français. Je viens de terminer mes deux premiers examens (la raison pour mon absence prolongé) et je suis maintenant à Québec jusqu’à mercredi. J’aurai des photos et de textes plus tard! Pour le moment, je veux parler des élections canadiennes qui ont lieu aujourd’hui. …

Nouvelles/Musée des Beaux-Arts/Ville-Marie/La bouffe à Montréal

Bonsoir, readers. I’m back with a much delayed update!

Nouvelles/Updates

Bonsoir, readers. It’s been a little while since the last post, but I’m back with some updates! School has started up here and I’m already into the new semester.

Le transport et la Petite-Italie/Transit and Little Italy

Yesterday I was able to spend a little time exploring the city and using their public transit. Montréal has a large system of busses, subways and commuter rails known as la Société de transport de Montréal (STM). Tip: full-time students can get a reduced fare transit card. Just bring your passport or other (non-school) id …

Mon village ancestral

Hier j’ai eu la bonne fortune de visiter le village d’où venait mes ancêtres au sud du Québec. Une cousine a pu rechercher l’histoire de la famille de mon père il y a quelques années et elle a découvert que mon arrière-arrière-grand-mère vivait dans le petit village de Knowlton (partie de la commune de Lac-Brome) …

I have finally arrived in Montreal today to start my semester at the University of Montreal as part of National Student Exchange. Hello everyone! This is going …
