ho no! It's not my kind to live in a hole...


I like to live in the Quebec even if you think the snow is something very
borring, hard, and futil to deal with.

And no, it is not because I feel here like at home and don't want to leave
it because it's my father's bornplace, his father's bornplace and his
father's bornplace for at least 10 generations

It's because it is one of the most safe place of the world contrarily to
everywhere else in the world

find another place where there are no:

- earthquakes (you followed what happened in south Asia..)
- tornados
- hurricanes
- tsunamis
- tidal waves (is that the word?)
- famines
- dryness
- illness
- pollution (as far as mexico for example)

- political conflicts such as wars
(the worse political conflict is the secession of the Quebec and contrarily
to other political conflicts in the world there is no violence involved in)

- religious conflicts as what happen almost everywhere in the world

- social conflicts (there is sometime a conflict about the rights of
minorities (french speakers, Amerindians, etc.) but it's never very big)

Can YOU say this about your living place???

I think that living in these conditions is a little price for a life without
any danger

It's like an assurance, we pay it a little each year but we never have
problems after

more, each year we have one of the most wonderful thing in the world (more
often called fall or autumn) when leaves turn red and yellow and fall (but
it's secondary) and when it is a rainy time (I like rain) and everything
smells so good (I like the leaves' smelling)
