I Like Maple Syrup On My Crêpes

Je suis arrivé au Québec! Oh it's not my first time by the way, I was last here when I was around hmm...8 yrs. old? It is my first time on my own. It's awesome, kinda like a mini France, everyone speaks pure french, the signs are all in french, everything is in français, it's great but frustrating at the same time because I don't understand it all. I really wish I knew more but I guess this is why I came here lol. It's a cute little city, I already visited Vieux-Québec (that's Old Québec) and it is gorgeous!! I felt like I was walking down the little cobblestone streets of Europe with the historical buildings, little cafe's and nik nak shops. 
School begins next week, I can't wait, I'm looking forward to meeting new people. I'm really glad I came a week prior to the start of classes because this way I can familiarize myself with the bus route and all that. Laval University is like an hour bus ride but that's only 'cause they don't have a subway like Toronto, so the bus makes more turns and frequent stops.
I'm really lucky to be staying with the people I'm staying with, they are awesome.. not to mention superb cooks! I'm glad I made this decision, although it gets a little lonely at times, and my mind goes a little skitzo when people start speaking to me in french, I don't regret it one bit! That's what we should all do, challenge ourselves more, get out of our comfort zones, otherwise how will we ever find out what's on the other side of the hill? haha okay enough Confucius talk. 
Stay tuned kids for more exciting/crazy/awkward french adventures with petite lissa!
