Some bars and restaurants we went had non-English-speaking staff. And by "non-English-speaking" I mean "don't even comprehend that 'Hello' is not an unfriendly greeting".
Quebec City is a shithole, a tourist trap center surrounded by not one, not two, but three -- count 'em, three -- ghettos. Other parts of the province are fantastic and the people great, even if their English comprehension is limited to a few dozen phrases and keywords.[ Parent ]
or rather, perhaps they understood english perfectly, but considered "hello" to be an unfriendly greeting simply because it is english.
i couldn't agree with you more, however, regarding QC, QC---I don't think anyone's ever really died from smoking. --ni[ Parent ]
