Montreal Recap

Montreal Recap:

- My room looks like a small jail cell... does not match the pictures online AT ALL. I swear I learned in Commercial Law that it's illegal to falsely advertise stuff.


Guess which one's mine?

- I will NEVER complain about Vancouver again. Montreal is TRES CHER = EXPENSIVE. A dynamite roll was $9.95 which is considered to be cheap by a Quebecois. Groceries are soo much more over here as well.

- the many random 10 minute thundershowers that will drench you to the bone - and they say that Vancouver is a rainy city.

+ Made some awesome new friends there that I have learned so much from... especially the necessities in life like cooking, grocery shopping, laundry... etc. (Yes, lame that I never knew how before)



+ Tres beau garcons avec l'accents had me at bonjour.

Memorable Moments:

- eating in the pitch dark at O'Noir while being served by blind servers
- shopping!! Everything seems to be on sale, and even if it wasn't the owner of the store still gave me a discount!!
- partying with Jenna Jameson's manager and bodyguard at Tribe Hyperclub
- watching Jimmy Fallon live at the Just for Laughs Comedy Festival
- watching the male model underwear search and meeting the model that was the face of JPG
- Mado's drag show and ladies' night at the gay strip club! That community is just so fun and they know how to enjoy life.
- poutines galore!!
- randomly joining in with a group of retirees dancing by the lake. The old men beside us kept watching our footwork because they couldn't learn the dance - it was so cute!
- the shirtless black guy that roamed my hall!!
- dancing to live Italian music at a cute restaurant in Little Italy, only to be joined by a 89 year old grandpa from Europe and his brother who was not much younger.


Lesson learned:


Never be one of the last ones to leave within your close group of friends. It is the worst feeling in the world to feel alone and deserted.
