魁北克全世界最冷的狂欢节
整整17天无休止的欢庆活动（Gala event）组成世界上最大规模的冬季狂欢节（Winter CarnivaI）。与全球最大冬季节日的欢乐吉祥物博诺姆（Bonhomme）来个熊抱。观看独木舟（canoe）队伍在布满浮冰的圣劳伦斯河（St.Lawrence River）上奋勇前行，为他们加油鼓劲，看看谁能在一个来回后赢取胜利。众多艺术家（artist）手持工具，精雕细琢一幅幅美轮美奂的雪雕大作。看着雪橇犬（sled dog）们拉着雪橇（sled），在老城里覆盖着厚厚白雪的狭窄街道上竞相追逐，好不欢快。
沉醉在魔幻的夜间巡游表演中。听马车经过鹅卵石街道时，发出的踢踢踏踏声。或者体验马拉雪橇，享受一段静谧时光。在高耸的冰雪宫殿外，倾听一段小提琴乐曲让自己热血沸腾起来。温热的枫树糖浆（Maple Syrup）散发着香甜气味，深吸一口，连胃也好像跟着暖起来了。在墨西哥（Mexico）以北唯一筑有城墙（city wall）的城市里滑冰，感受壁垒阴影下的神秘氛围。漫步于燃着维多利亚时代古老路灯的街道上，然后找家舒适的餐厅享用魁北克（Quebec）地方风味美食。

中国购物狂 Chinsumer
近几年，每到黄金周前后就会有各类报道描述欧美各国的奢侈品商店里挤满了前来消费的中国游客，还有中国游客是多么地出手大方，以及那些名牌商品是多么地被迅速抢购。于是，国内网民就自创了一个英文词Chinsumer来指代这些“购物狂”。
Chinsumer， a blend of Chinese and consumer， refers to generous Chinese consumers who spend a lot on brand name products when travelling abroad.
Chinsumer，就是Chinese（中国人）与consumer（消费者）的合成词，可以翻译为“中国购物狂”，指出国旅游时出手大方，购置各类名牌商品的中国消费者。
Due to strong purchasing power， products of luxury brands like Burberry， LV and Gucci bought by Chinese consumers account for one third of the total sales volume in the industry.
