United States of America

Hello !

Today you will uncover the fight between the american and the scottish culture and one of the states in USA : Georgia ! A friend of mine is living there in Macon almost in the middle of this state. This article was made thanks to him (Avery for those who know him). 

The first shock was the night life in Paisley during the week. It means there is nothing to do here the night ... but in his city restaurants are opened until 11 pm at least. 
The first good point for Scotland are the public transportation, that's true that here buses and trains connect almost every cities.

About food: american are known to eat very fat, however it's possible to get a meal fatter or healthier with options. What's more my friend felt frustrated with the little range of food in Paisley as you have some chinese places, regular restaurants or very fat and tasteless take away. In Georgia it exists even in little cities more different types of food.

A surprising thing: I thought we could see only here a lot of people with weird color in their hair (green and purple in the same head!). But I was wrong as they are larger people in USA who die their hair. So I can't imagine which colors they choose.

My friend was again frustrated with the little number of activities suggested by the Uni, as in his school they want to have engaged students in activities or opinions. Here except sports and some meetings once a week you don't have many things to do linked with the Uni. For him it's propably linked with the fact that people want to avoid the rain !!!

Those pictures are taken by my friend it's around his university.

Saint Pierre et Miquelon

Hello everyone !

Today It's a little bit different than the other times as I've never been in this island. I don't know how but I'm really attracted by it, as I want to go there one day, at least to visit it in the same time of the United States. For those who don't know where is this island, it's next to the Canada in the Atlantic Ocean.

The official language of the country is the french as it's an overseas collectivy of France. However the population is speaking also english (with last British occupation) and Spanish (but almost no more today).
The funny thing is during the beginning of the 1900's it was not the fishing industry the best profitable but the smuggling of illegal booze !

Quebec

Hello there

Today I will speak about a contry that i really would like to go, but for the moment i don't have enough money and time. Then thanks to my father I can go during little moment to the "Parc Regional des Septs chutes". 

This picture represent a small village with a lot of snow and as you can see it's impossible to move with a car. So they don't have any choice to use ski-mobile to go grocery shopping.

I have some informations for you whose one is useless but funny. The first thing is a Quebecois is not a French but they feel european still. And about the funny thing is in the world there are only 2 cities with an exclamation mark in their name and one of them is in Quebec : Saint-Louis-du-Ha! Ha!
