For the general experience, I have to say that I love my internship.I have note some differences. First of all, anglophones really are more religious than francophones. In French, we often say "Oh mon Dieu" or "Seigneur" or even "Jésus, Marie, Joseph" but in English, it's more like "Jeez", "Gosh" and things like that. Religion seems more important, like ig using God's name for expression was cursing. The other thing that I note was the insatifaction of not having English newspapers in the Metro and at the STM. They have to pay for the news that we have freely in French. I admit that it is not fair. I also noticed is that anglophone person are a little bit skinflit. Sometimes they talk about somethings that they found a little bit too expensive but that seems normal for us like, for exemple, the bread. A girl was complaining because it costs 3,29$. They all start complaining for the price even the others volonteers. One day, I stayed longer because of of their terapist was absent so I stayed with three of the boys and we watched the video of the show they did in october. They were so glad to show it to me. The show is call "Our World" and is about different cultures in Quebec. Anglophone in Quebec are really open on the other cultures more than Francophones. And a way more than the rest of the Canada. A lot of them are Christians but the other majority is Jewish. They didn't want to talk to me about hannukka.
