Québec City

So a couple weeks ago Caitlin and I had a training session in Québec City for the jobs that we are currently doing. The training session consisted of being put up in a nice hotel, being fed three squares, buffet style, every day and actually being in a classroom, learning how to deal with students for about six hours a day. The rest of the time was ours - so we made fast friends and drank beers in our hotel room (or someone's hotel room) every night and saw free Cirque du Soleil one night. Lots of fun. The first night, Caitlin and I arrived a little early, so we went and took a walk around Vielle Québec, looking for a nice place to eat. We found lotsa places but they were annoying and lame and expensive. So we went and got a crazy bowl of poutine and a couple of beers. The poutine was literally the first food we'd eaten all day (at about 9pm) and we didn't even come close to finishing it. It was monolithic, as can be seen in the photo. Oh!! Also of note: We got a $75 stipend for the three days there. $75 each. So thanks, government.

Bienvenue à Amqui

Hey. So this is Caitlin and my blog. Wanna see pictures of bowls of poutine and freshly painted bedrooms and pond hockey?? This is the place. Wanna read about the shock of moving from a city of two million to a city of six thousand?? You're here. Wanna be frustrated by the incredibly low prices we pay for car insurance and beer over here while at the same time being able to breathe easy at your cost of milk?? Welcome, have a seat - it's good to see you....
