Hey guys, what is going on? My name is Lily Monroe and you're listening to Escort Confessions
and I just came back, well, just I went to Canada in the beginning of May and let me
tell you all about it. So honestly, like I wasn't really impressed, I don't know guys,
like I've heard, I don't know, I would think Canada would be sunny and everybody would
say A, but I guess I shouldn't believe stereotypes. No, I'm just kidding, I don't believe in stereotypes,
do you guys? No. So on May 30th I flew to Niagara Falls because, you know, I'm like,
okay, well Niagara Falls, what are the things like you have to see in the United States?
Well, I'm still here in the United States and not in Europe, particularly UK, but yeah,
I saw Niagara Falls, I'm like, okay, it's a waterfall, it's nice waterfall, it's big,
that's what she said. But yeah, you know, if somebody, if you haven't seen waterfalls
before, that's the place to go. It's gorgeous view, absolutely gorgeous. But yeah, I've
seen so many waterfalls in my life and I've actually seen less overrated ones, that they
were so much prettier and it was in Canada actually, yeah, but so yeah, I'm like, oh,
I saw Niagara Falls, great, check that off my bucket list. And then I stayed in Niagara
Falls overnight and then when I drove to Toronto through Canada border, my GPS stopped working
and I'm like, oh my God, I guess I should have bought a SIM card because you have to
buy SIM card every minute, every time you go to a different country and I'm like, oh
my God, I fucked up. So here I am driving through crazy highway in Toronto and I'm like,
I gotta pull over somewhere, like I gotta find, you know, T-Mobile, anything, anyone
that has SIM card. So obviously I'm in a different country, I have no idea where to go, like
the Google Maps is not showing me anything and I started freaking out just a little bit,
just a little bit. I'm like, you know what, this is adventure, this is part of my adventure,
I'm gonna figure it out. So I pulled over by Honda dealership, it was, it was probably
like six or seven a.m. They weren't open, so and then I saw Walmart sign, I'm like,
oh thank God, Walmart is always there when you need it. So I drove there, somehow managed,
you know, yeah, drove there, stayed there for like 30 minutes. They, apparently Walmart
does not sell SIM cards until 10 in the morning and I'm like, I gotta be at my Airbnb at
3, like this is not gonna work. So I did, I had to write down directions manually because
Walmart had Wi-Fi, so I had to use their Wi-Fi and whatnot, but so yeah, I'm like, okay,
I'm just gonna do that and yeah, so I pretty much had to follow my manually written directions
for five hours because I had to drive to, where did I drive? Montreal and it's, it's
about five hours, I would say. Four and a half of you drive fast like me, so that's
what I did. Oh no, no, no, I'm sorry, yes, so I started driving to Montreal at 7 a.m.
in the morning and I keep seeing gas stations, so I stopped by one gas station and they were
out of SIM cards, so I drove to another gas station, they were renovating and I mean,
they looked open, but they were renovating and they told me, yeah, there's 7, 7-Eleven
across the street. I've never been to 7-Eleven, I know there was like bunch of memes that
it's ghetto as fuck, but anyways, I drove there and they thankfully had SIM card that
by the end of the trip I did not actually get to use, so I did that and then I forgot
that I had to top it off, top up it's called, for you know, minutes and whatnot and at least
GPS started working, so I'm like, okay, well, that's a good thing and so yeah, I drove to
Montreal, met up with my Airbnb person, he's like, I texted you, I'm like, I told you I
don't have Wi-Fi and he's like, okay, okay, that's fine and so it was a, I stayed with
a homosexual guy and the reason I found out he was homosexual is because like by subtle
signs at his Airbnb, like there was a little wooden statue of a man's body, particularly
his backside and then there was a magazine with shirtless guys, it was not Playgirl or
Playboy, but it was just like one of the French magazines that they had, I'm like, oh, this
is cool and his place was so clean, it had like bunch of artwork and plants and like
the dude's place does not look that clean or very, yeah, homey, but if it does, that's
kudos to you.
Yeah, and so I stayed the night there and I started figuring out why was my SIM card
not working, so I did that for an hour and I'm like, oh yeah, it's not working because
some SIM cards are only for certain areas of Canada, so I had to basically ask my Airbnb
host where to buy a SIM card, I followed his directions basically, bought a SIM card, I'm
like, please work, please work and it did work and I was like, oh thank God, the internet,
yes, so yeah, but my main thing was just GPS honestly, I didn't really care much about
posting something or talking with people during my trip, so yeah, so I figured that out and
I took a nice long shower and he had some beer in his fridge, I'm like, I need a drink
after today, this was really stressful, so and then the next day I drove to Quebec City,
but I explored Montreal a little bit, not impressed, not impressed, honestly, I thought
Montreal was like very historic and it is, some parts are, but it just, I don't know,
I was pretty disappointed in Canada because all the big cities looked really bad, like
there was graffiti, you know, in most areas, like there were poor parts of the city and
I get it, it's a big city, like you're supposed to have your ghetto, your homeless people,
but it was just too much of it, like the city wasn't maintaining itself, you know, I'm like,
it's Canada, like you guys are pretty rich country, right, but anyways, it was just sad,
you know, but yeah, so I got to explore Montreal a little bit and then, then drove to Quebec,
or sorry, yeah, Montreal, Quebec City, yes, Quebec City and I loved it, it was so nice,
it looked like Paris, I think it would look like Paris, I've never, I haven't been yet
to Paris, but I feel like that's what Paris would look like and like everybody speaks
French, everybody speaks English and yeah, it was awesome and lots of history in Quebec
City and I am gonna talk about the rest of my trip in part two, so stay tuned and I'll
talk to you next time.
