 Welcome to Canada! After landing in the city of Toronto, spending a few hours exploring downtown Toronto and taking the ferry to Toronto Islands, I caught the train to make my way to Montreal. Montreal is the largest city in the province of Quebec and Quebec is one of 10 provinces in Canada. Quebec is a French-speaking province known for producing maple syrup, for hockey and for the best pudding in the country. And I am here to meet up with a friend, but first, coffee! I ordered the Café Latte, just like usual, this is the same thing that I always order. It's not bad! I'm here with my friend, Rizlan, I traveled all this way to see her for the first time. Maybe we'll tell you a little bit more about this story, but today we are in Montcomble! So we are actually in a national park here in Quebec and this national park is one of the biggest national parks in Quebec. It's known actually by the ski station, but today just to discover, try and to see and to discover the place, especially. Awesome! I'm really excited! This is going to be my first adventure in Canada with my friend, Rizlan. So join us as we explore beautiful Montres Blanc. We're checking the village right here, it looks like it's a ski town. Rizlan came to this place before in summer. It looks actually so different like between summer and winter, now there are different activities like ice climbing and ski, and in summer there are more, again, like other activities different. Yeah, it's really nice, there are a lot of people that are out there snowboarding and skiing and it's got a European feel with all of the colors, so you can definitely see the European influence. We loaded up on food, walked around the village and now it's time for a dessert that's very special to Canada. I'm trying maple taffy on snow, this is a very Canadian dessert where they pour some maple syrup on the surface of snow and they make this fun dessert out of it. Let's give it a try. So good! So sweet too! We're going to check the Scandinavian spot here near Montres Blanc. I have no idea what to expect. My friend here, she planned the whole thing, so I'm just excited to tag along and see how this is going to be like. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to film inside of the spa. It's probably to use any electronic devices including cell phones, cameras, GoPros, they want to be respectful to everyone's privacy and so I couldn't take any footage, but instead I'm going to leave you with some photos and videos from their website and from the internet just to kind of give you an idea about what to expect, but they did have different pools, some of them are warm, some of them are cold. They also had access to a frozen river with a hole that you can go in and take an ice bath, which was really cool. They also had different relaxation rooms, some of them in the form of saunas, some of them we just chaired where you can go and relax and they had different stations with water and tea and their tea was so delicious so you can just walk in your bathrobe and move from one location to the other while enjoying drinks like water and tea and the overall it was a wonderful experience. If you are looking for a way to relax and unwind, I highly recommend it. After a wonderful day yesterday exploring Montreux area, we are out here in Montreal and my friend Ghislaine is going to be my guide for the day so she's going to tell us a little bit more about what we have planned. Right now we are actually in downtown, we are near San Catherine Street, so today we will be exploring downtown San Catherine Street like it's the main street here in the downtown. We are also heading to the underground mall so actually it's at the largest mall here in Montreal, not in Canada but here in Montreal and it hasn't direct access to the metro station, to some offices, to also some buildings so yeah we're going to discover it today and maybe also head into the old Montreal where we can see the European touch. Back to downtown Montreal yesterday it was raining almost the whole day it was really difficult to just film while exploring and we really got soaked so we're out here today doing a little bit more exploring. Where are we now Ghislaine? Yeah right now we are in the old part of Montreal and we are trying to enjoy the weather with the skating rink here there's also the first wheel so yeah having fun? Yes oh my gosh. Old Montreal is really interesting because it's got a European feel with all of the cobblestone in the streets and some European-style buildings but the weather here is harsh although Ghislaine let me know that they have something called La Semaine du Relâche. What's La Semaine du Relâche? Yeah it's actually the week between the winter and the spring it's like the week the transaction week so usually all the schools take vacation on this week and people before the covid used to travel to the south of America but right now people are just stuck here in Canada and yeah so this week is like the last week of winter really yeah because all the winter activities like skating skiing they all stop after this week because the the snow starts melting and it's so difficult to maintain with the temperature which is going up so they stop all the activities and let the snow melt and yeah that's it. It's amazing that this is not seen to be harsh weather in Canada even though I feel like I'm freezing the last few days. It's amazing. Welcome travelers I'm coming to you from downtown Montreal and I'm about to try the famous poutine we're going to check one of the most popular places here to try poutine in Montreal La Bonquise. Thank you so much for watching this video until the end my name is Habiba from The Tracking Towns and I will see you soon on a new adventure.
