Things we like about Quebec

When moving to another country one must adapt to their customs, but there are things in Quebec that made me feel that I did not make the wrong decision:

1. Children can ride their bikes to school without their bikes being stolen, their horns honked, or a car not respecting the signs, especially stops.

2. When an ambulance passes, all the cars stand aside and give it a pass, even if the traffic light is red. Nor do the other cars go behind the ambulance to go faster, here they get a fine if a police officer sees you.

3. The seasons of the year, here are well marked, and many when they say Canada, Montreal, Quebec, Toronto believe that it is winter all year round!!!! It is not like that, we have the 4 seasons, Spring, all the parks are filled with flowers and the temperature begins to rise, we begin to put on cooler clothes.

Summer, it's super hot, it's short but you feel the energy and they have festivals everywhere, water parks open for children and public pools fill up.

Autumn, it's beautiful how the trees change color between yellow and orange, it's something we don't have in Lima.

There is more wind and it is strong but with a good jacket and a scarf you can enjoy it.

Winter, temperatures drop a lot -20 or -25 sometimes more especially in January and February, it looks nice just like the movies but the cold for Latinos is horrible, as I said above, with a good jacket they will be fine.

In Quebec is the city of Montreal, this is the most multicultural city I have ever known.

The people are friendly, you find people from all over the world, China, Japan, Korea, Colombia, Argentina, Peru, Chile, Salvador, Afghanistan, Iraq, Ukraine and many more.
