Be prepared to see lots of Japanese folks -- Anne of Green Gables is extremely popular among Japanese women in particular. When I rode my bike around PEI it was outside tourist season -- very handy because all the campsites were not yet open and hence free -- and there were few people around but when we rode by Anne's house there were quite a few Japanese woman on site. Here's the deal with screech. Me recommendation is to stay away from it and stick to the cod tongues, but I have never been much of a drinker. en.wikipedia.org And since we are talking about Newfoundland, I should mention the death of the 'Pope of Newfoundland', Gordon Pinsent, who actually emigrated from Newfoundland, then still an independent country, at the age of 17. In his honour, last night I re-watched The Rowdyman from 1971. When I first saw this film it was such a shock because the American stranglehold on movie distribution in Canada meant the possibility of actually seeing a movie about Canadians like me had never occurred to me. In should mention that I saw it at a special screening, because it never would have been allowed into commercial Canadian theatres due to its origin in Canada In fact The Rowdyman and the contemporaneous Going Down The Road were pretty well the only movie set in English Canada until the late 1970s, when our government started supporting domestic production the Americans tried to suppress. (Quebec was an exception due to the language barrier, so there were some great movies out of Quebec in the 1960s, like Kamouraska and Mon Oncle Antoine.) imdb.com LC
