Travel Preparations

Some norms of behavior of Canadians can seem to you more conservative in
comparison with to what you have got used in the country, others on the
contrary more liberal. Probably, it will be interesting to you to learn,
some of the accepted rules of behavior in Canada to not collide with
misunderstanding and censure from Canadians and to facilitate to itself
arrangement in the new country.

The standard rules of behavior:

All by turns – at Canadians it is not accepted to be pushed in turn and
to try to make the way without turn. All turns in Canada are under
construction by a principle ” Who the first has come, that and is served
by the first “.

On a visit do not smoke – the most part of Canadians do not smoke. If
you pay a visit someone before smoking it is necessary to ask permission
of the owners. If owners do not smoke, you, most likely, will be
suggested smoking in the street.

Punctuality, first of all – you should come always in time for work, on
a meeting, to school. Those who often is late, can discharge from office
or exclude from school. The majority of Canadians more than 10 or 15
minutes of the one who is late for a business meeting will not wait. If
you are invited to action, it is meant, that you will arrive, a maximum
during half an hour from appointed time of a meeting.

The valid attitude to an environment – Canadians are respectful to an
environment and wait from you for the same. They hope that you will not
throw out dust under legs or from a window of your car.

The tender is not pertinent – in Canada it is not accepted to bargain in
occasion of the price, however there are exceptions. For example, almost
each Canadian will try to agree about the best price, doing very dear
purchase (the house, the machine, furniture).

Where to drive on skis in the big city?

At the Canadian city of Quebec which towers, similarly to the lock, on
coast of the river Sacred Laurent, – colorful and long history. Three
main resorts, hundreds kilometers of high-speed lines and miles of
descents for snowboarding surround this monumental city. Mont-Saint-Anne
and Stoneham as a magnet draw inhabitants and visitors of Quebec,
offering excellent lines and amazing descents. Le Massif, located
approximately in an hour of driving from Quebec, is unique mountain with
descents which come to an end directly in the river chained by an ice
Sacred Laurent. Except for skis and a snowboard, in city there is still
a set of interesting employment and sights. The oldest business street
of Northern America runs by ancient stone buildings and comes to an end
at the river. Along narrow streets Old Quebec majestic houses in which
hundreds restaurants and hotels now are located rise.

Transport: Canada is a huge country. The best type of transport between
the basic cities of the country – aircraft. The airports are in all
large and average cities. On long-distance bus lines two companies
“Greyhound” and “Voyageur” compete. To hitchhike on highway is not
recommended. In provinces of Ontario and Quebec special agencies which
connect passengers with drivers. It is cheap enough service there are.
