Das Englisch macht mir keine Mühe und einzelne sprachliche Patzer fallen nicht ins Gewicht. Hier wird die kanadische Tradition der Immigration und des Multikulturalismus sichtbar: Die meisten Kanadier sind Einwanderer – entweder 1., 2., oder spätere Generation und sprechen/sprachen eine anderes Idiom als Englisch. Es gibt kein akzentfreies English ...

G**ade in öffentlich finanzi**ten Institutionen – in meinem Fall Schulen und Univ**sitäten – sind die Vorgaben nach diskrimini**ungsfreien, fairen Selektionsprozessen streng. So sass z.B. an d** Univ**sité d'Ottawa eine P**son aus ein** and**en Fakultät bei, um die regelkonforme Abwicklung des Int**views zu bestätigen. Die Univ**sity of Ottawa ist vollständig zweisprachig, was sich ...

... been described as a 'cheap Paris' as there are lots of bars/cafes on the street and has a great feel about it. Montreal is much more french than I had imagined it to be with apparently about 70% of the people speaking french as their first language. I hadnt realised that is was in the province of Quebec. I Popped into the tourist info place, incredibly helpful giving me free maps, discount coupons etc which made finding the 'hotspots' very easy. Purchased a Metro ...

I've had the most awesome start to the summer of 2009. Since Sunday, I've had the awesome opportunity of living, breathing and working in the city of Montreal - one of my favourite places on Earth (so far...). Not only do I get to enjoy the city, but I've also enjoyed the company of several great physicians, who have gone to great lengths to show me around and let me experience the way family medicine is ...

Salut! Alors tout d'abord, on vous envoie tous nos meilleurs voeux pour 2009: une bonne santé, du bonheur, de la joie, de l'amour, et de l'argent pour des billets d'avion pour venir à Montréal! Bon, on ne fait pas de post sur notre soirée du nouvel an, parce que... c'est comme ça!! Mais on peut quand même vous dire qu'on a passé une très bonne soirée chez Louise et Eric, qui sont les voisins de Richard et Daniel, qui est le frère de Sylvain, qui est la personne qui nous a h ...

... in charge, a grump. Oh well, this isn't Eden. After breakfast, Ken went to his conference and the kids and I headed off to the Chateau-Ramezay Museum, the first home of the governor. The museum is extremely well-done, and the gardens outside were delighful. We were taken through the history of New France from the beginning of settlement to about the 1900s. We saw displays of Amerindians and Militiamen, a loom, model boats ...

... at the airport but enough is enough, my turn has come. I intend to travel to France, Italy, Croatia and Greece. For those interested in reading about my journey, i will do my best to update this blog as often as possible. I will include, when possible, some pictures and some comments. I will also respond to your entries. Hope to find the appropriate way to transate the beauty, essence and greatness of what i'm about to fully experience. Soon, Marti

... change). Then, I'm off on a 2 week Contiki tour up the east coast of Australia. I'm not sure how much time I'll have to write over those 2 weeks, so just assume I'm having a very good time and drinking a fair amount (safe bet). Things I'm going to try to do (yell at me if I don't actually do them)...take a surfing lesson, hot air ballooning, eat some crazy exotic animal. Also a goal not to get eaten by a shark...if I fail that one, you can't yell at me. G'day!

As far as my bag situation went, we landed at Mirabel and I was directed to an office off to the side of the baggage carousel.

From there I walked. I remember ...
