- NAID - THE LAST DITCH HELP FILE - March 31rst, 1995
-
-
-
- Well, you've done your best to follow the directions, but to no avail.
- What to do? Stuck in a strange country <Well, Canada can be strange
- sometimes, let's admit it.> with no friends around. What's a demofreak to
- do? Don't worry, here it is, the ultimate solution : The last ditch help
- file. We recommend you print it and keep it close at all times. If you
- ever get lost, it'll probably be handy.
-
- If you get lost in Montreal, the easiest solution is always the taxi.
- They'll know the way, you can atleast count on that. Just tell them to
- bring you to
-
- COLLEGE EDOUARD-MONTPETIT
-
- You might also want to call us for indications/info/help at the
- following number :
-
- (514) 679-2630
-
- And ask for people who can inform you about the NAID Demoparty. The
- people who answer the phone will have been warned and you'll be put in
- contact with people of our team.
-
- Well, a reminder. The province of Quebec is mainly populated by
- people who speak french. While most of us quebecers can call
- ourselves bilingual, some of us are not. So, if you ever find yourself
- in a situation in wich you need to explain to somebody that you are lost,
- and that he does'nt seem to understand a single word you are saying,
- here's the drill. First, tell them the following things <in english> :
-
- 1.- You are from out of town.
- <Yes, you can tell them you are a tourist. It's okay :>
- 2.- You do not understand a word of french.
- 3.- You'd like to find a phone. <Yes, to call the number above>
- 4.- You want to get to College Edouard-Montpetit wich is located on
- the South-Shore. Ideally you want to get there via the metro
- station called METRO LONGUEUIL.
-
-
- If all this fails, it just might be that the person does not
- understand a single word of english <duh :>. Do not fear, here is the
- solution to your problem.
-
-
- BONJOUR. JE SUIS UN VISITEUR DANS CETTE MERVEILLEUSE VILLE ET JE
- SUIS PROBABLEMENT PERDU. POURRIEZ-VOUS M'INDIQUER VERS UN TELEPHONE
- PUBLIC OU VERS LA STATION DE METRO LA PLUS PROCHE?
- MA DESTINATION EST LE COLLEGE EDOUARD-MONTPETIT, QUI SE TROUVE
- AU 945 CHEMIN CHAMBLY A LONGUEUIL. MERCI!!!
-
-
- Yes, that's french for : "Hi. I'm a visitor in this marvelous town
- and I am probably lost. Could you show me the way to a public telephone or
- towards the closest metro station? My destination is College
- Edouard-Montpetit, wich can be found at 945 chambly road in Longueuil.
- Thank you!!!"
-
- So, unless you hit people who can't read, you can show them this
- tidbit of french up there and they should help you get on your way.
-
- Remember people, if you ever get lost, all you have to do is contact
- us at the folowing number : (514) 679-2630, and ask for Naid organizers
- to help you get under way. If there is any sort of problem at that point,
- you can also try to contact us at (514) 442-3923.
-
- So, print this file and keep it with you at all times, and happy
- demo-party!
