Have you ever visited somewhere because you saw it in a movie?
I just finished watching "The Banshees of Inisherin" and I was like, "I want to go to Ireland now".
shareI do the opposite, I often watch films and say I’ve been there (it might be a specific street or building).
shareI've had that happen. I recognized almost all of "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" because they filmed it in Toronto. I also recognized pretty much every scene of Alfred Hitchcock's "I Confess" as the entirety was filmed in Quebec City. If you ever visit Canada, I'd recommend Quebec City the most.
shareCanadia is quickly rising to the top of our holiday destinations and I will be tapping up the Canadian contingent for suggestions nearer the time (although sslssg has already started, bless her).
shareQuebec City is our most European city. They look down on Canadian English speakers though. They treated my buddies and I like crap.
shareYou’re not really selling this to me, lol.
shareNo, you'll be fine. They don't hate visitors as long as they don't hear the English Canadian accent. I don't know if you know about the separatist movement there.
shareI’m aware of it.
shareIt's a lot better now, but before if you spoke English there, they would tear your head off in you didn't speak French. Even if you were talking between friends. They still have language police there which sets standards for how much French should be spoken in businesses, or French written on forms, storefronts and so on. Other than that nonsense, great place.
shareSacre bleu!
shareyou guys arent getting an NHL Team The Canadiens cornered the Market in the Province and The Avalanche won the Cup last year also The Coyotes new arena in Tempe will get approved this May
shareI like the look of the town (that Château Frontenac looks fabulous), but Québécois must be one of the most grating accents I've ever heard in any language.
shareDepends on the region. I went to a college where about 1/4 of the students spoke French. There was a really hot girl there. One day I was walking down the stairs and finally heard her speak. It was the ugliest French Canadian accent I've ever heard. Honestly, she no longer seemed hot to me that's how bad it was. Anyway, I hardly hear her type of accent. Most of the accents there are perfectly fine.
shareAh, but your Canadian, of course they sound fine to you!
Really, the general accent you hear in tv shows isn't very atrractive to me either.
That's the way I am.
