Q: And they are going to the Les Galleries de la Capitale and she wanted to know if there was a Hot Topic store in the mall. Also what is a good place to eat in the food court. This is for a trip with her French Class.

A: WOW, your daughter is taking a trip and you are asking questions about stuff she can get AT HOME? I would be asking what she can do there to broaden her horizon! She has a very unique opportunity to learn about a culture that is our neighbor, yet no one really gets to know, except to make fun of the accent! I'd let her find out those questions for herself, and find something she can do that will take her to anew level with her education or cultural experiences! I hope she has a good time, finds what she is looking for, more importantly, something totally awesome about the Canadian Culture that she wasn't expecting!! Tell her that new experiences such as she is fortunate to be involved in are rare, and to take advantage of the chance she has! Good Luck to her!!
