17. I had to travel to the Quebec area of Canada for business about 10 or 15 years back.

It was a French speaking area. I found the people to be warm and friendly. The people we were working with were really great. In our discussions with them we found that taxes were high, hoouse were expensive and small but the people seems to enjoy their quality if life. Under different circumstances it is a place I would probably enjoy living in.
