Autumn/Fall 2009 in Canada

Already my 5th Fall season, time goes by so fast that when people ask me how long I've been living here in Canada, especially in Montreal, I used to answer it's "only" 3 or 4 years ;-)

If I correctly count, I came here in June 2005, that makes 4 years and about 4 months...

Let me share you my last trip, time of a short weekend with few people of an association for french speaking immigrants people like me and of which I've been part of since late 2005. The trip offered me the chance to sleep in a tipi (amerindian tent), visit a wild animals museum, visit a National Park of Canada in Quebec, have an indian diner, flight abord a hydroplane and watch beautiful autumn colors.

Winter Ended, Spring is there and it's still Cold somedays

Hello everyone,

Winter finally gets to its end few weeks ago. It kid of snowed few days ago but beautiful and sunny days are often there.

World Crisis took some time to reach the company where I work and it finally happens. Last Tuesday was a black Tuesday for 7 of my colleagues were "forced" to quit the boat, one in a row. Some of them are good fellas to me and it was sad to see them go, without warning, by surprise as it obviously happens here in North America. I'm from France, a country where such a thing never happens for the time I was living there, that shocked me a lot.

Anyway, life still goes on and I try to keep contact with some of them and I'm sure something better is right ahead for them and they will move on.

As to me, life is calm and everything is going fine. There're good and bad days but in general, it's OK and I'm getting along...

Hope you are OK too.

Take care and enjoy Spring.
