1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:13,280
Hey guys, what is going on? My name is Lily Monroe and you're listening to Escort Confessions

2
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:21,720
and I just came back, well, just I went to Canada in the beginning of May and let me

3
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:29,280
tell you all about it. So honestly, like I wasn't really impressed, I don't know guys,

4
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:35,480
like I've heard, I don't know, I would think Canada would be sunny and everybody would

5
00:00:35,480 --> 00:00:41,600
say A, but I guess I shouldn't believe stereotypes. No, I'm just kidding, I don't believe in stereotypes,

6
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:49,960
do you guys? No. So on May 30th I flew to Niagara Falls because, you know, I'm like,

7
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,760
okay, well Niagara Falls, what are the things like you have to see in the United States?

8
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:59,960
Well, I'm still here in the United States and not in Europe, particularly UK, but yeah,

9
00:00:59,960 --> 00:01:06,200
I saw Niagara Falls, I'm like, okay, it's a waterfall, it's nice waterfall, it's big,

10
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:11,400
that's what she said. But yeah, you know, if somebody, if you haven't seen waterfalls

11
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:16,880
before, that's the place to go. It's gorgeous view, absolutely gorgeous. But yeah, I've

12
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:23,640
seen so many waterfalls in my life and I've actually seen less overrated ones, that they

13
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:33,440
were so much prettier and it was in Canada actually, yeah, but so yeah, I'm like, oh,

14
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:41,760
I saw Niagara Falls, great, check that off my bucket list. And then I stayed in Niagara

15
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:50,160
Falls overnight and then when I drove to Toronto through Canada border, my GPS stopped working

16
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:55,640
and I'm like, oh my God, I guess I should have bought a SIM card because you have to

17
00:01:55,640 --> 00:02:02,600
buy SIM card every minute, every time you go to a different country and I'm like, oh

18
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:10,840
my God, I fucked up. So here I am driving through crazy highway in Toronto and I'm like,

19
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:17,400
I gotta pull over somewhere, like I gotta find, you know, T-Mobile, anything, anyone

20
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:24,720
that has SIM card. So obviously I'm in a different country, I have no idea where to go, like

21
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:29,840
the Google Maps is not showing me anything and I started freaking out just a little bit,

22
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,720
just a little bit. I'm like, you know what, this is adventure, this is part of my adventure,

23
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:39,440
I'm gonna figure it out. So I pulled over by Honda dealership, it was, it was probably

24
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:49,240
like six or seven a.m. They weren't open, so and then I saw Walmart sign, I'm like,

25
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:56,520
oh thank God, Walmart is always there when you need it. So I drove there, somehow managed,

26
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:03,680
you know, yeah, drove there, stayed there for like 30 minutes. They, apparently Walmart

27
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:09,000
does not sell SIM cards until 10 in the morning and I'm like, I gotta be at my Airbnb at

28
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:16,280
3, like this is not gonna work. So I did, I had to write down directions manually because

29
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:22,440
Walmart had Wi-Fi, so I had to use their Wi-Fi and whatnot, but so yeah, I'm like, okay,

30
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:33,440
I'm just gonna do that and yeah, so I pretty much had to follow my manually written directions

31
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:39,920
for five hours because I had to drive to, where did I drive? Montreal and it's, it's

32
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:45,960
about five hours, I would say. Four and a half of you drive fast like me, so that's

33
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:53,880
what I did. Oh no, no, no, I'm sorry, yes, so I started driving to Montreal at 7 a.m.

34
00:03:53,880 --> 00:04:04,720
in the morning and I keep seeing gas stations, so I stopped by one gas station and they were

35
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:10,840
out of SIM cards, so I drove to another gas station, they were renovating and I mean,

36
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:15,160
they looked open, but they were renovating and they told me, yeah, there's 7, 7-Eleven

37
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,960
across the street. I've never been to 7-Eleven, I know there was like bunch of memes that

38
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:28,320
it's ghetto as fuck, but anyways, I drove there and they thankfully had SIM card that

39
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:34,360
by the end of the trip I did not actually get to use, so I did that and then I forgot

40
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:42,280
that I had to top it off, top up it's called, for you know, minutes and whatnot and at least

41
00:04:42,280 --> 00:04:48,960
GPS started working, so I'm like, okay, well, that's a good thing and so yeah, I drove to

42
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:55,520
Montreal, met up with my Airbnb person, he's like, I texted you, I'm like, I told you I

43
00:04:55,520 --> 00:05:01,080
don't have Wi-Fi and he's like, okay, okay, that's fine and so it was a, I stayed with

44
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:07,360
a homosexual guy and the reason I found out he was homosexual is because like by subtle

45
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:16,080
signs at his Airbnb, like there was a little wooden statue of a man's body, particularly

46
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:22,480
his backside and then there was a magazine with shirtless guys, it was not Playgirl or

47
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:28,080
Playboy, but it was just like one of the French magazines that they had, I'm like, oh, this

48
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:33,320
is cool and his place was so clean, it had like bunch of artwork and plants and like

49
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:41,400
the dude's place does not look that clean or very, yeah, homey, but if it does, that's

50
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,440
kudos to you.

51
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:51,040
Yeah, and so I stayed the night there and I started figuring out why was my SIM card

52
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:56,120
not working, so I did that for an hour and I'm like, oh yeah, it's not working because

53
00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:05,440
some SIM cards are only for certain areas of Canada, so I had to basically ask my Airbnb

54
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:12,760
host where to buy a SIM card, I followed his directions basically, bought a SIM card, I'm

55
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:19,560
like, please work, please work and it did work and I was like, oh thank God, the internet,

56
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:25,920
yes, so yeah, but my main thing was just GPS honestly, I didn't really care much about

57
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:32,560
posting something or talking with people during my trip, so yeah, so I figured that out and

58
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:37,640
I took a nice long shower and he had some beer in his fridge, I'm like, I need a drink

59
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:46,840
after today, this was really stressful, so and then the next day I drove to Quebec City,

60
00:06:46,840 --> 00:06:53,320
but I explored Montreal a little bit, not impressed, not impressed, honestly, I thought

61
00:06:53,320 --> 00:07:00,080
Montreal was like very historic and it is, some parts are, but it just, I don't know,

62
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:06,640
I was pretty disappointed in Canada because all the big cities looked really bad, like

63
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:14,560
there was graffiti, you know, in most areas, like there were poor parts of the city and

64
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,580
I get it, it's a big city, like you're supposed to have your ghetto, your homeless people,

65
00:07:18,580 --> 00:07:24,360
but it was just too much of it, like the city wasn't maintaining itself, you know, I'm like,

66
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:29,720
it's Canada, like you guys are pretty rich country, right, but anyways, it was just sad,

67
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:38,280
you know, but yeah, so I got to explore Montreal a little bit and then, then drove to Quebec,

68
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:44,680
or sorry, yeah, Montreal, Quebec City, yes, Quebec City and I loved it, it was so nice,

69
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:53,400
it looked like Paris, I think it would look like Paris, I've never, I haven't been yet

70
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:59,240
to Paris, but I feel like that's what Paris would look like and like everybody speaks

71
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:06,500
French, everybody speaks English and yeah, it was awesome and lots of history in Quebec

72
00:08:06,500 --> 00:08:15,120
City and I am gonna talk about the rest of my trip in part two, so stay tuned and I'll

73
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:37,480
talk to you next time.
