So long, cruel US of A.

[Betheny]

*moves to Canada.*

*Enjoys it.*

Suckers.

[Asha]

Good luck!

[Jazuela]

Wow, you actually moved there? Last time I tried (mind you this was YEARS ago), they told me I needed a sponsor. That meant, I had to have entered an agreement (a contract) for work, -or- that some family who were legal citizens vouched for me and would be legally responsible for my finances until I secured a job, no matter how long that took. Even if I was filthy rich, I wouldn't have been allowed to move there, because there was no guarantee my money would go to their tax coffers. They said they'd only take people who could become contributing members of society, financially.

Made sense at the time but I just didn't fit either criteria. So I was only allowed to visit for up to 30 days, then I had to go back. That's what I did - it was an awesome experience.

What part of Canada? Which Province, Ontario? Don't tell me you're gonna become a Newfie <snicker> -

If you're up in or near Toronto and want to meet up with some rather fun geek-gamer-types, send me a PM.

[Betheny]

Quebec. The city.

PS French speaking guys are HOT.

[HarmNone]

Congratulations, Beth! Good luck with the move and all that follows. :)

[Brattt8525]

OH MY GOD your moving in with X????????? <he lives in the big Q doesn't he?>

I had to sign the same things plus quite a bit of money in fees to become a resident alien here in the States. Signing that I would never become a burden to the State etc.

[StrayRogue]

I guess it was only a matter of time before she shacked up with X.

[Miss X]

Good luck.

[Skirmisher]

Keep your eyes open and a sharpened pencil handy in case you run across or over...whetever the case may be, X. :bouncing:

[Soulpieced]

While "French-speaking guys" may be hot, it's a shame you can't understand anything they are saying.

[Snapp]

My condolences, Beth. :D

[Apotheosis]

hope you're moving to Montreal.. montreal rules.. one of the best cities in Canada, if you ask me..

(Van Couver is great, as well)

[Latrinsorm]

:bye: Watch out for wolverines.

[Gan]

We look forward to all of your fascinating thoughts into life as a Canadian vs. life as an American.

[Jenisi]

Toronto > Montreal

[ElanthianSiren]

Awesome. Go you :)

I've never met anyone who moved from the states to canada who didn't like it better. The requirements are a friggin PITA though.

[Sylph]

Heh... Im surprised more haven't...

[OreoElf]

Good luck hon... makes me jealous... Though I have a yin for Prince Edward Island... maybe its the whole Anne of Green Gables series that I loved as a kid. :) GOOD LUCK!:up:

[Keller]

Doesn't it get fucking cold there?

Good luck to you.

Canada is the place that everyone talks shit about until they actually go there and realize its fucking awesome.

I used to be like. "Why the fuck would I ever want to go to Canada?"

Then I went and it was

"Holy shit dude, how come I never went to canada before"

Imagine Arsenio Hall on the Dave Chappele Show. "God damn this some good chese"

[crazymage]

now all the lonely gemstoners gotta cross the border to get some! Way to think of yourself only!

She's from Minnesota or one of the Dakota's or something. Shouldn't be that much of a change.

But if you're moving -- why choose a place with worse weather than where you're coming from?

Go to Canada -- just try Vancouver.

I'm not sure your opinion counts. You only went because you were stuck in washington and too young to drink in the US.

[Sweets]

Welcome to Canada Bethany! If you can...go to Vancouver. Best of the best. My little piece of heaven in Nova Scotia ain't bad either. Halifax can be fun as well.

[Xcalibur]

Where in Québec are you?

I am in the rich neighborhood of "Les Saules" (which is just side of Sainte-Foy)

He means the poor district. McDonalds doesn't pay enough for him to own anything but a duplex.

Shut up fool, you actually see my appartement at the right side of the tree.

There's a BIG forest with a river just 12 seconds from my home

http://community.webshots.com/photo/92258366/96761035yLbszp

Also, women are UBBER cute and run topless when jogging at morning on the river's side. It's very windy and the air is pure and it doesn't stinks.

Et cetera, et cetera.

p.s. I don't eat garbage like Mcdonald'S :cool:

Good luck Beth, dont turn french on me please. :)

[StrayRogue]

LMAO and you have two kids? I live in a bigger house.

[Xcalibur]

Congrats, I live in a 1324% friendlier/better/healthier/quieter/cooler/smelling goodlier/cuter/et ceterier place than you.

Also, that appartement is mine and I don't share it with strangers.
:)

[StrayRogue]

I don't live with strangers. And you have no idea about the area in which I live.

[Mistomeer]

So X finally gives up directions to his home...
Who's in charge of collecting the pool to pay for his ass kicking?

[Chadj]

Quebec is nice.

I bought a shirt there once.

It said "Fuck La Modé" or something like that.

I can't remember.

Also, congrats! You'll like it better here.

You are UBBER fucking stupid

[Nieninque]

Hope you have a great time in your new home, Beth.

:)

[Xcalibur]

Fuck la mode, mode doesn't take any accent.

Anyone that wanna kick my ass is welcome to try.

p.s. Nienque.

[Kuyuk]

I'll go kick your ass, you still owe me a beer, bitch.


K. :)

[Skirmisher]

Not to mention owing Rsen a new character,

[Betheny]

I'm not telling you where I live, X.

I'll be there permanently July 30th.

[DeV]

Good luck with everything.

:lol:

Give me 2 days and I'll get that information:cool:

p.s. Good luck in this city that is very xenophobic with english speaking people:D

[Edited on 29-6-05 by Xcalibur]

[StrayRogue]

That sounds like a great place to live.

[Xcalibur]

Seriously, it's a bit normal too.... Québec city has, with the suburb around 1 million people but there is JUST a few people from other countries (immigrants).

Montréal has a bit more than 3 million and most people are too lazy to learn french there, so they stick to english.

So there's that... "compétition" between the 2 city, one that is cosmopolitain, one that is classic, one that is open minded, one that is close minded..

I am fairly surprised that she decided to come live here, there must be a guy in the story, because it's really an hard place to live when you don't speak french BESIDE if you go to the university Laval.

[Bobmuhthol]

<<Not to mention owing Rsen a new character,>>

Rsen's fault alert.

[Skirmisher]

For trusting a scuzz yeah.

[Bobmuhthol]

How many times does one have to see "DO NOT GIVE OUT YOUR PASSWORD TO ANYONE" before paying attention?

[Miss X]

Let's not get into a discussion about Rsen here, this is about Betheny and her move.

[Bobmuhthol]

Right.

Moving to Canada is not a good idea.

Depends where you move.

If anyone move to Alberta, that person deserves a big slap on the butt.

p.s. People still give their credit cards number to me when I ask them their invalidity numbers...:?::?::?:

[xtc]

Welcome to Canada, not everyone in Quebec is like Xcalibur. You will find it cold in winter, depending on where you are coming from. Quebec City is more francophone than Montreal, as Xcalibur said.

[DianaBanana]

Canada has the good side of the falls.

[DianaBanana]

I wouldnt move to Canada (too cold) but Montreal was really nice.

[Bobmuhthol]

Toronto > Montreal if you like baseball.

[Apotheosis]

fuck baseball.. it's about the attractive business women in their suits and skirts, as well as the art scene that I like about Montreal :D

oh and the fact that I can pose a frenchie due to my ancestry

Have to Agree there. Montreal is becoming more International than Quebec City would ever allow themselves to become.

Welcome to Canada Beth!

I understand you don't want to continue on your rant but I am curious as to why you don't see Toronto as that?

Montreal has more of a European influence than Toronto. I prefer European influenced cultures/cities.

Toronto is too 'westernized'

[Edited on 6-29-2005 by Yswithe]

[CrystalTears]

Seeing as how she said that she's living in Quebec, it doesn't really matter. I'd rather stick hot pokers in my eyes then live in Quebec, but hey, as long as she's happy and the sex is worth the move, it's all good. :D

Edited to add a pic for good measure.

Québec is even more European than Montréal.

Montréal is really constipated, Québec is more open, et cetera...

that would explain it, then.

Nothing wrong with a little WT lifestylin' now and again.

[xtc]

Both Montreal and Toronto have they high points and their low points. Toronto is the world's most diverse city, a business hub, has New York quality and variety of restaurants. Montreal has great architecture, is more European and was at one point in time more chic.
