Guest post ... from Olivia

What I've learnt about Montreal, after one week:

What -20c feels like.
- That French is very hard to learn.
- That Montreal is almost as big Sydney.
- There are lots of ski fields around Montreal with in 1 1/2 hour away.
- Children use agendas for their homework.
- When it's less the -15c we don't go out for recess or lunch.
- Mittens are warmer then gloves.
- We get milk at school.
- When you go ice skating and fall over and land on your wrist it really, really, really hurts.
- You have to provide your own supplies for school.




Note from Editor:  Olivia has since found a beanie that covers her ears, at the request of her school teacher!
