Et c'est la fin!

All good things must come to an end and this is the final entry on Canada (up until I finish the Diana Mini roll and get it developed). About 140 double photos later, that's it! Starting tomorrow there will be new exciting adventures known as "going back to work", you should see my schedule (settle in/meeting/lunch/meeting/discussion/meeting/project thingy thing). Lots of love for the country, lots of love for the lovely people of Quebec and lots of love to everyone who hasn't complained about the hundreds of photos and random babbles.

That bottom photo was taken from the bus to the airport. Now this is advice for peeps who might be coming to Montreal later on, those express buses will not stop if they are "full" to pick up people and they will not put more on the line during rush hour. So yes, you might have to wait an hour and a half to get an express bus that will stop to pick you up to go to the airport. Also, their definition of "full" is a bit strange because honestly if people didn't mind being a tad squished, twice as many people would get on and it wouldn't have been such a mess with people waiting for over an hour. Thank goodness I only had to wait for half an hour and at least it's apparently much better than it used to be, before you only had a normal city bus going from the airport! I wish you had those limousine buses from Korean airports everywhere. From now on I'll forever compare transports to and from airports to those buses!

Midnight flight: what to do? Bar or Timmy Ho's? The answer was simple.

I should also mention a thing about this AirTransat airline. It seems that they've been getting rather bad reviews because they're supposed to be a low-cost airlines. So yes, their fleet isn't as new as the FinnAir one but honestly, I have to say the planes were comfortable enough! They don't give you a blanket and pillow, boohoo. You can buy one for CAD$7 worst case or you can bring a sweater, let's be honest, when has an airline blanket ever saved you? The food? I thought it was more than correct. Entertainment? You don't have an individual screen and the two films shown were the standard out-two-months-ago American films but why depend on the inflight entertainment when you can bring your own? Overall, I must say that for me it was a great way to fly to Canada because it was direct from Marseille! No stupid layovers, no nothing. And well, I bought the tickets about two weeks before flying and they were 1000 euros, that's not too bad.
