||||||||
|
|

|
|
Vancouver, BC is nice. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
do ihave to be able to speak french, is this essential? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No. If you try to speek french here, people will point at you and laugh and then suggest that you try the poutine "its delishus" and then overcharge you. Je ne pas parle francaise. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
that's good as i faild french, anny suggestions for going out |
||||||||

ok.. youll want to go to WESTERN Canada.. beacause {and no offence to you easterners here} but the EAST is boring in Canada... or atleast I think so..... but from the sounds of it your comin over to the WEST. Do you want to see cities? Mountains {most wonderful mountains in the world}, or what?..... if you want cities go to vancouver, or victoria out west..... if you want mountains head to BRITISH COLUMBIA or ALBERTA..... tell me more info and I can help a lot. |
||||||||
|
|

|
mountains/bears/snow/possibly skiiiiiiiiing/ and cities if i have time, it's not till next year i'm just planning. cheers |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no offense takin it aint all bad well....i cant find nothing to do here that's real special so i guess it can be pretty boring |
||||||||
|
|

Hey Reflex, tell me some mountain info. If you know some good websites with information on hiking and camping in very very scenic places, tell me. I am willing to rent a car for 1-2 weeks and cruise around the country. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, you must tell us what you would be interested in seeing. there are so many things to go to see here in canada, but you must guide us. i can tell you about labrador, quebec, alberta, the great white north... others will be able to tell you about the west, the pairies, ontario, etc... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sorry, i didn't see that post... you best look out west for all that stuff, skiing and all that. but the great white north is also interesting for bears, snow, barren land vistas. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I am interested mnainly in high mountains.Even in hiking to the top. I need tourist guides or some manuals where to start to plan. If the mountains are combined with national parks and lakes, or other interesting things that is only making things better. Thanks |

Montreal in the summer. by thethirdball Montreal in the summer is fucking fantastic. The women are fucking incredible. The beer is cheap and good. World-class comedy, jazz festivals. You can get by without French. The end. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
another one from montreal!!! yee haw. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the beer... for god's sake, don't tell me you are referring to molson and labbat and sleeman shit. gimme the blanche de chambly, maudite, fin du monde, trois pistoles, but not that piss. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Joey, What about Boreale? Coup de Grisou? Griffon? Labatt and Molson eat ass but sometimes you gotta have a Labatt 50. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
So, the saying goes; "Vancouver is one of the only cities in the world where you can go Windsurfing, Skiing and Golfing all in the same day." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have three boreal Rousse in my fridge. I have not yet tried Coup de Grisou or Griffon. I must look into that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

What about good beer hang outs in montreal? I like "Mondo Fritz" next to schwartz's for their menu (good burgers, etc), and lots of different beer. Then there is "http://montrealplus.ca/E/V/MTLQC/0012/68/26/" > Bières et Compagnie, and le Barouf is good too. |
||||||||

come to anchorage, it's not too shabby |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there are few places as beautiful and 'somewhat' pristine as alaska and canada =) i've traveled there my whole life....my first trip was Vancouver at 6 mos. old so perhaps thats why that place has this draw on me. i would recommend trying to get a small plane to take you into the interior of alaska....great hiking and fly fishing if thats your fancy. if deep sea fishing is your fancy try homer alaska for some halibut fishing...*the best fish in the world IMO* =) there is lots of sea kyacking in both alaska and canada.....and white water rafting is a MUST.....only during the summer tho...i've been in juneau and whistler on guided trips! ahhhh.......you're gonna love it...take lots of film, you'll need it!!! |
||||||||

Ive been on LONG hikes that take all day and you see some WONDERFULLY amazing stuff on these hikes. Its just .... beautiful!. Ill look more into it though ok? Maybe email ya.. let me know.

|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cheers guys, i didn't expect this thread to last long. I'd better start saving money. I will probably travel both sides of canada as i will be there for a few months with a trip to alaska. one last question...... winter, spring or summer. cheers le coer but i'm alergic to sea food but i guess that doesn't meen i can't catch em |
||||||||
|

If you are doing any wilderness stuff I went to Caribou National Park and on to the Bloodvain River. It was very magical, but that's roughin it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've been to Seward ummm 3 times, anchorage 3 times, fairbanks once.....to visit denali ......ahhhh remembers the mountain rising like a phoenix to the heavens....damn it was a beautiful sight!! =0) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Awwwwww sorry about the allergy....it's just nice being out in the water...so try some WHALE watching...ehehe esp orcas!! when to go......well unless you wanna freeze your bum off.....and if you'd like some daylight to see the sights SUMMER.......almost 24 hours sunlight in alaska during the summer. you can see the sun setting around sayyy midnight or later.....it's bad ass!!! =0) enjoy and take lots o pic's |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sun setting at midnight, does that not fk with your sleep patterns. You guys should check scotland for beutifull mountains but their prolly not as big. I probably will rough it for a bit, i guess i should go buy a lonely planet book for walks and things. Can you see the northern lights? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
northern lights occur only in the winter.........BRRRR so be prepared...ehehhe i'd love to see those too btw......yes total darkness and total light can drive you nuts......you'll notice that the people there....are ummm very unusual.....ehehhe =0) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i was thinking more like spring to summer so i guess i'll miss em, i can see them here but it's allways overcast and i have to travel to top of scotland. I have been told people can be a bit weird, i hope in a freindly way or does this sunlight effect prodce lot's of mass murders etc? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well i dunno about murders......but they do have knives and guns and such REAL handy.....ehehhehe they are friendly....just different......you'll see....eheh. it takes a different kind of person to live in there. i would love to live there during july/aug.....for the salmon run....then i would head south for ze winter =) |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
cheers pal, off to work :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Just a reminder to REFLEX :) I am eagerly waiting for the infos :) I need places to hike and see wonderful things, and maybe some extreme fun,like whitewater rafting. I would love it.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
too bad I saw this now.. im on that info tune! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Check that out for starters.... The Hot springs are amazing.. you NEED to go Quads and such.. very cool These are amazing, bring a fuckin camera |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
-------------- You cant look at these and tell me its not amazing {although its a small collection and probably only respresents about 1% of the great land there |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hot springs , eh? Thy do kick ass. Most people only see them in a certain cult anime were a guy changes into a girl in hot water, and another into a little black pig. I wont name it tho'....--grin-- |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, if you're going for scenery, and that kind of stuff, Newfoundland is a very very nice place... I've lived here all my life, so I'm kinda sick of the scenery myself, but it is a beautiful place I must say... BUT, if you're looking for clubs, and all that stuff, stay away from here cause you're bound to be bored... :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't drink myself, but apparently George Street here is supposed to be alright... I think The Hip may have mentioned it in a song, or interview, or something... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
OK let's suppose I am in St. John. What can I do? Where to find some tourist information. One thing is sure. I won't go on guided tours :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Thanks, I am checking all the stuff out currently. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmmm, well you can start at Signal Hill... it's pretty easy to find, as you can probably see it anywhere in St. John's... they probably have tourist info there, and then you can work your way through St. John's, or even Newfoundland if you're really THAT strange ;)... Newfoundland is a nice quaint place though, St. John's is pretty modern, but the rural parts of Newfoundland is still pretty old fashioned and traditional if you want to check all that out... I'm just sick of it here cause I've lived here all me life... :) |
