Picture of the Week: Lonely Dog

November 4, 2011 – 8:30 am | 8 Comments

Cana­di­ans like pets, and in res­i­den­tial neigh­bour­hoods it’s com­mon to see peo­ple walk­ing their dogs after an early diner, no mat­ter the weather.
How­ever, unlike French, Cana­di­ans are well-behaved and they pick up after their dogs—streets here are not dot­ted with dog poop.

Going To...

Going to France…!

Yep, trav­el­ing again for a lit­tle while.

We are on our way to France and will stay in Europe until July 31 st. I haven’t spent a sum­mer in France since 2003 — at the time, I was com­ing back from Aus­tralia and New-Zealand and I spent the sum­mer study­ing for my uni­ver­sity exams. It was the hottest sum­mer ever in Europe and I spent half of my time camp­ing at the beach with a bunch of friends. Seven years later, I don’t have that many friends left in France but Feng and I should have fun nonethe­less — I remem­ber sum­mer in France as a nice season.

If any of you in Paris or around want to meet for a cof­fee or a crois­sant (yum, crois­sants!), drop me a line. This trip was a last minute deci­sion so I haven’t done much home­work and haven’t really con­tacted any­one yet.

So fol­low us for this French Sum­mer and expect lots of pic­tures and lots of cul­tural dif­fer­ences arti­cles from your favorite not-so-French-anymore adopted Canadian.

And before you ask… yes, it’s my hand on the pic­ture and yes, the felt tip-pen draw­ing was hard to remove. Duh, silly me.
