> "300" was a great film, made in Quebec of all places. I heartily recommend it.
Quebec rocks! And I can hardly wait until "300" is released in New Zealand: John Kass of the Chicago Tribune has heartily endorsed "300", and I have a very high opinion of his views...
...and now, I also have a high opinion of yours!
If you ever get the chance to spend any amount of time in Quebec -- recommended! -- take the time to try to "fit in". Show them Respect by trying to speak French: no matter how rusty your French is, you'll find that the Quebecois all speak excellent English and that they appreciate your genuine efforts!
I have never had a better time, nor ever met a more hospitable bunch of good, friendly, genuine people, than the time I spent in Quebec. Everybody should try to have a holiday in Quebec at least once in their lives: Montreal is Party Central for North America, and Quebec City is the hospitality capital of the Western Hemisphere: just Magic!
Pure Magic. It is like visiting a different, unspoiled world.
Funny, that: "respect", I mean. If you give Respect, it is often or almost always reciprocated.
Thank you for that 'review' of the cities of French Canada. Having been to Toronto and having spoken with some very nice French-Canadians there, I'm eager to see the French portion of Canada. I also want to see Newfoundland and "Anne of Green Gables" country. Maybe my next vacation? I'd like to go before a passport is required. Right now, you don't need a passport if you're driving or going on a bus, but you do need one for air travel to Canada.
