When Sona first brought up the idea of an all inclusive resort holiday in the Dominican Republic for our baby moon, I thought she was making one of those American jokes she sometimes makes. The ones where it’s funny because it’s true, not because it’s actually funny. So, I laugh. I quickly come around to the idea of the all-inclusive because the alternative to going to the all inclusive is to not go anywhere and sit at home.

Video: Cursing in Quebecois!
Cursing in Quebecois, the French spoken in Quebec, Canada, is much different than its English counterpart, and is very religious based. On a recent trip to Canada, I met up with an old friend from China at a bar (where else?), who gave me the run-down of swearing in Quebecois (don’t ever call it French or Canadian French). It is fascinating that all of their swearing revolve primarily around religion. She also recommended a movie called “Bon Cop/Good Cop” which gives a great breakdown of swearing in Quebecois akin to George Carlin’s “Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television.”
