Apres cinq jours, I have accepted that things certainly won`t be getting any more english here. Vivre a Jonquiere est vraiment vivre en francais!
I live in a very cute yellow house about a 5 minute walk from the college. It`s just me, a middle-aged couple, and a little dog. There`s also a daughter who lives in an apartment over the house with her adorable 4-year-old. I have a room in the basement with a bunk bed and Little Mermaid comforters. It is very cute, and very quebecqois!
I`m pretty damn rusty with the old French; more often than not, Swahili words slip out when I try to say anything. I manage to communicate well enough to be understood, but not nearly enough to be eloquent. There is a lot of work to be done!
Jonquiere is a nice place, though I don`t know it that well yet...it`s kind of hard to describe, because it`s like so many Ontario towns, and yet it has some weird quirks. The drivers are bad as hell, but the cheese is good.
I`m not doing too well with the 7am mornings, and am currently very tired!(hence this message)
Update soon :)
