What part of Canada are you moving to?

Everyone who's planning to move to Nova Scotia should be excited! I'm from Halifax, and I love my city and province and miss it dearly!

Hey Rinnerz haven't talked to you in a while.

But like Rinnerz we live outside of St. John's in Newfoundland.
We live in the town of Paradise. Not liking the weather today but wouldn't trade the location, people, food or my Newfie for the world.

Indeed. I'm always around; I'm just usually very quiet 8).

Yep, my husband's family is the same. He and his younger brother don't talk like them at all (no accent even), but the rest--parents, older brother, uncles, aunts, cousins, grandparents... It took me ages to get used to them, and I still have a lot of trouble understanding his grandmother--whom I've known for 4 years now! When my sister was here for a visit and our wedding over a year ago, she was soooo lost. Right about the time that my husband's cousin reacted to a joke my sister told with "I dies at you!", I think my sister gave up trying to make sense of Newfie talk and just went with it .

My girl lives in Québec City, so I moved in there and feel very at home here. I like the city a lot, because of the relaxed atmosphere (comparing to the country I grew up). Downside is the traffic and that I'd like there to be more culture (theatre, music, arts, etc...) On the other hand, we might move to Montréal (she wants to do her PhD there), but I feel I'd feel horrible in that city of concrete. Here I can ride my bike for 15 minutes and be in nice nature, which I can't say on the Island of Montréal.

Same like hubby doesn't have an accent at all but his parents and the rest do. His uncle, well I might as well forget about it. I will never understand him. His accent is just too deep. I remember when I first got here I always turned to hubby and was like "huh, what did they say?" I didn't want to seem rude I just couldn't understand it. Maybe if it wasn't just so darn fast then I could pick it up easier. Aww I feel pitiful for your sister. At least he found her joke funny only she didn't probably realize it. My mom wants to visit here for my birthday in March. I am still debating getting her a Newfie dictionary for her to be studying that way when she gets here she will be prepared. Should be interesting how they react to my moms southern accent and slangs. Anyway, we need to catch up on FB, I wanted to ask how your hubby is doing so I could update you on mine. Well about work anyway...

@ Love_Young:

Newfie dictionary! My dad's been toying with the idea of visiting here in the summer, and he'd definitely need one of those. And he still has remnants of his own southern accent (Texan), so I'm sure there'd be a lot to get accustomed to for both sides. Plus, he hates even "cool" breezy weather and is allergic to pollen... Haha. Fun times?

And yes, FB. Best not to derail this thread anymore :.

We're moving to a small town just outside of Truro, Nova Scotia. I haven't been home in two years and the waiting is making me anxious about it. We're coming from Oregon so we're planning on a cross-Canada drive so my wife and the boys can see the country before settling down.

My husband is joining me in Abbotsford, BC, about an hour east of Vancouver. Moving up from California at least he'll be in a familiar time zone.
