Hello everyone!
After a week without news, we're back in great shape for a quick summary of our adventures!
But above all, on request of Noah, here are some funny things and useless ... others, we see here every day:
- Buses ... and their wonderful organization! Lol, MDR, RTTP, XPTDR ... hahaha. They are not really really on time, especially during peak hours and they offer matches very, very short and therefore impossible to have! In addition we had a very pleasant surprise ... since we discovered that our bus stop (2 mins walk from the house) was in fact not served between 6 am and 9 am, at which time we go often, hehe!
- Shutters ... non-existent! We do not yet know why but no house or any building has shutters. Simple blinds are sometimes installed and suddenly we are often awakened per day.
- The King of buses and cafes in the morning! Yes yes, in the morning to arrest the busiest one is entitled to a magnificent spectacle of buses being held in a dance millimeter (not that ... but you'd see between 2 buses there should be only 5 cm, without exaggeration! !) as well as pedestrians, coffee in hand slalom gracefully (or not) and fluidity to avoid spilling their precious beverage!
- Milk ... Forget the bricks my friends! Here milk is contained in ... plastic bags that can go up to 5 liters!
- Cereals ... Apart from a few brands that are found in France, we have discovered a lot! Including one with Nico is quite fond of (and even more since Gaëlle devours them all!) Called the Mini-Wheats. They are architecturally indescribable but full of fiber, with multiple tastes ... blueberry, maple, strawberry, cinnamon, brown sugar ... Delicious!
- And the funniest news this week is .... the loss of our first mobile phone, the same day that we had bought a second! Very sad loss, the bus (another story bus?). We are in search and we'll keep you posted soon ..... 15 minutes later ... Nico returns victorious with the laptop ! Glory to him! Well well well
, after these festivities here is what we experienced this week ...
Internship at Carrefour Jeunesse Emploi de l'Outaouais for Nico and testing in a family of 4 children for Gaëlle!
Gaëlle:
In fact, following my appointment last Friday I got three days of tests in a bilingual family, 4 children, living in a big, very big house in Ottawa!
2 mornings with the 3 younger and an afternoon with the 4 children who ultimately ... helped me find a job! Yes yes I am no longer at the test, it's official! So I'm
:
- Maple when not in school, lively girl, a bit painful, who speaks French fairly well, likes to make his little head (hey I see you coming!) and find that I'm nice!
- Hudson (pronounced "Adsin" is the name of a British explorer who gave his name to Hudson Bay, which lies north of Canada), the painful family, under weasel, which has continued to test me but that is fairly high for not going after his stupidity when he said that just stop and just ask "Whyyyyyy ???".
- Logan, he does not speak very well yet but signs to be understood, it follows movement and plays with everything that comes to hand! He eats very well by itself (unlike Hudson) and is not too painful.
- Mackenzie, the most adorable baby in the world, which resembles Lauriane small, ie it is a ball (haha). He moves from his bed to chair top, the swing, the play mat ... without saying anything! And when he grumbles a little just go and see him smile and off you go again! I even learned to fish with his mouth!
practice, as parents work at home I have to watch and play all this small world! For moments of everyday life parents there (meals, snacks, diaper changes, nap, etc.) The mother speaks French to me (and kids should too, but their English is faster!) and my dad speaks English! I understand the essence of the message but not always in full what makes me go for a retarded sometimes!
Otherwise, interestingly ... the children call me "Gueuyelle!
Nicolas: Thanks
to meet Serge Aylmer (see previous story), I went for 3 days following a "strategy job search. I learned how to design a resume Quebec on top (which I will use only 5 months old but good), I had a job interview techniques, interview is said here and I had more knowledge about the Canadian job market. Here 90% of employment is through its network: the set of people who know that looking for a job (family, friends, office colleagues, neighbors, roommates, ...). It's word of mouth actually! So since then I tell anyone who will listen that I want a small job. I also learned that here people can have several jobs at once and did not unusual that people change quite often (a resignation application only 2 weeks with just a little letter, even without a letter of all). So the
Next week I'll point me everywhere with my resume in hand and come hell !!.... Anyway Gueuyelle makes money for us so !!!!!!
