Good to know! I figured there had to be warm currents making some of these (greener) coastal areas swimmable, but as I said my experience is unfortunately limited... sigh.
Fuck yeah, and full of giant fish heads at low tide (in the morning anyhow lol). Also, jelly fish. Blegh. Prefer eating fish than swimming with their dead relatives :P Afternoons are great if you dig the chill though.
Oh, yah and great hot dog and lobster scene off Sydney NS...
I've experienced it in both, with a higher level of french snobbery from Quebec city University chicks than bar tenders. But I'm french too so I'm limited here. The best waiters and such are those who coax the Americans to try a little French heheh.
Just be careful who you're honest about your love of poo with - but that goes for anywhere...
I will, I will  |
I think Halifax is probably more Metro than Moncton. But for some reason they like to say "Metro Moncton" when referring to the city. But it isn't really what I would call Metro.
It isn't big, there is nothing tall here at all. But it is spread out quite a lot.
The beach at Shediac is real nice, there is a few smaller along that stretch of coast with nice warm water aswell, then after that it gets cold again pretty much.
They also have a big lobster festival there which is combined with a motorcycle show (not really my scene but is really popular)
I really didn't experience the french problem in Quebec City last week. Seemed a lot easier than Montreal to speak with people. But maybe I was lucky
I've lost my French pretty much, used to be really good but not using it didn't help.
Here in NB it there is some Acadiens who try to hard to be French.
Then you have the Chiac language which is very odd!
