I'm going to be spending about 9 days there and am looking to live it up. The Pop Montreal Festival is happening while I'm there, so I've got that angle covered. Any other suggestions?

Damn i want to go to Quebec City...but Montreal should be a nice transition to travelling to a different country! Some speak french and some speak english and some speak both. Stay around McGill University. Its a good school and probably has a lot of stuff to do around there.

I'm staying with some friends up there. I'm pretty excited, I've never been out of the US of A.

alot of people do not speak english or speak it very poorly so be ready.

pretty funny.

lol


yeah

it was funny telling them I liked the 'canes

The light show at the Notre Dame basilique was pretty cool when I went. I also liked the Biodome too if you are into that sort of thing. My family was only there for 2 full days so we didn't have much time to go off the beaten path (and convincing my parents to try new things was a headache, I swear they would have gone to Cracker Barrel if there was one there.)

I didn't have a hard time finding people that spoke English. People would greet me in French, then I would say "hi" and they would switch over to English.

yeah, in stores and such they often say "bonjour-ello" and see what you say

^^ we had two mcdonalds employees who were obviously from the middle east look at us like idiots when we asked in english.

fun times.
