It seems strange to still be in Canada but feel like I am in France! I am now in Quebec city after spending a few days in Montreal, they are both very picturesque cicties but as Noel Gallagher summed the language experience up, so elegantly, in a recent canadian interview, I will leave the rest to him:
Q: What do you think of when you think of Canada?
A: I think of being absolutely freezing fookin' cold. And I also think of this fookin' weird, weird french influence: What's all that about? What business have they got over there? Why French? I was in a dunkin' donuts in Canada and the menu was in french - the whole thing, right. And I asked the woman for a coffee and she only spoke french. Now i've taken a lot of drugs in my time mate, but i've got to say that the single most frightening experience of my life was thinking. "I could have swore I was fookin' in canada when i got off the tour bus. And now i'm in ... am I? No I don't know."
Now I just need to say I do not necesaarily support the comments made by Noel, I just thought he raised some funny points! (sorry to any french readers) We all know that he has a way with words!
