Yes, they were charming. By the time they got to me on Friday night
after the last flight into Quebec, the immigration guy could spell
IETF all by himself. Then he wanted me to say what it stood for. After
26 hours in transit, surprisingly I still could.

Can't say the same for US transit, though... long queues, way too much
bureaucracy. Still, I made it through!

3G roaming isn't working here for data, but with international roaming
charges, that is a *good* thing.
