Last (real) day in Quebec

Last (real) day in Quebec

So sad! It's our last real day in Quebec :( I will miss this place so much.

Me and Mathilde woke up a bit early. We were staying overnight at our host's house. Our host is a Quebecoise, and a french teacter at Cegep Beauce-Appalaches in St-Georges. Christine out host had prepared a great petit dejeuner. We continued talking to her, we found out that their lycee is kind of the same as ours, they for example also have association des etudiants, but at our lycee there are representatives from every class, at St-Georges there are only five representatives at all. We also learned that les jeunes are not engaged in politics like we are in Denmark, for example in Denmark many youngsters joins in party movements. We also talked about le temps, in Quebec they have colder winters and much more snow than we do. They have about five meters of snow :O! but on the other hand their summer is warmer and not rainy like ours. I would anytime prefere much snow and a warm summer than little snow and a rainy summer. 

 Around 9 a.m we went back to le lycee with our host, it was so huge, and really nice indside! We met with our classmates. We went out so we could get photographed to the local news paper. Un professeur became our guide and showed us around the lycee. Le professeur told us that sport  is mandatory but les edutiants could decide which sport they wanted and they could also add other matiere like for example "how to eat well". We also saw their cinema and it was soo big! After the tour we went to see another part of the school. This part was a vocational education, We saw how they teach etudiants who can not be in the actual lesson: The students follow the lesson over webcam, very smart.

 After lunch we went to see another pont also a very beautiful. Later on we continued to Le Musee Marius-Barbeau where we saw things from the first settlers who came to Nouvelle France. For example we saw how the houses have developed throught the years. For example le toit was like our in Europe, you know rooms downstairs etc. But now they have moved the rooms upstairs, because it is warmer. But they have also added une terrasse at the front of the house, to keep the snow away. Later on we went on to a degustation de fromage. I only like the cheddar cheese, like said before I'm very picky when it comes to food. After la degustation we went home. I better start packing, I hope I can close my suitcase ;)
