It's hard to describe lol. Picture like a well-off, rich family going to visit their relatives that live in a wooden shack in the middle of a bog lol, if you get what I mean?
Hehe, I think most Canadians are aware of this, to be honest with you! I can't stand Quebec pronunciations. One of my best friend's mother is from Paris, and her French is just beautiful. I would like to become fluent in French, but being from Canada, it would be Quebec French *sigh*.
It's quite similar to comparing some German from Germany, and some dialects from Austria. Austria's German is much more smooth, and flowing, as opposed to German German, which is more harsh and hardcore sounding!
Anyways, I'd like to learn how to bake fancy-schmansy pastries! Sometimes I wonder if I'm going to school for the wrong thing. Something inside me always tells me that I want to drop out of my program, and start all over to become a pastry chef!
Have my own little cute shop in downtown Toronto, selling cute little pastries to everyone! :D
/dream.

Sorry lol, music philosophy got me carried away :P
No, that's awesome... I think I was always more cut out for bass anyway. I used to sit in my bedroom trying to teach myself how to play some stuff, but I was always plucking one string at a time, focusing on the rhythm.
As I got older I had several friends who played in bands and I would say 90% of them were bassists... Wish I would have picked it up as a teen when I actually had free time...

ahh I love pastry making! It's so much fun (and so rewarding when you get to "taste-test" :P) if you ever do that, I'd make sure to come check out your pastry shop!
