A trip to Canada
I had 3 wonderful weeks in Canada. My last trip there was 15 years ago. I promise myself to be there more often. A big part of my family is there and now, my mother's ashes are resting there.
This was the goal of the trip: a ceremony with all my family to disperse my mother's ashes in the river St.Laurent.
August the 19th, we gathered all together beside the river in Rimouski, just in front of the summer chalet of my grandma.
Most of the family was there with us: my father, my brother, and I.
The ceremony was simple, as my mother would have liked it. My ... Marcelle, my father and I said some words to remember her. Then, my father and my brother dispersed the ashes in the river.
She will always be in my heart.
Flying with hippos
On my way back to Canada, I had a terrible experience. I flew with a Canadian company that has the nickname of air-sardines because the seats are quite small.
This is not a big problem if you travel beside two normal persons. I flew beside two hippos!!!
The two hippos in question were two horribly fat girls.
I was about to kill them!!!
Swiss people
Today I called my Internet provider in order to cancel my subscription.
After asking me all my details, she wanted to know the reason of the cancellation.
"I'm leaving Switzerland", I reply.
"I wish I could", she nearly shouted.
"Why?", I asked surprised.
"I don't like the people here", she whispered
"May I ask you where are you from?", I said
"I'm Swiss, from generations!!!", she answered.
We both started laughing and we went on for a couple of minutes.
