Apartment Studio Montreal

So I haven't actually flown out yet, but I'm planning to.. In 9 hours. I just wanted to get my fans pumped up to read more about my adventures.

It's snowing a lot outside (in GFPK). I foresee a nice 1.5 hour bus ride from downtown Montreal to PET airport.

... pessoas como Hugo Chavez, Lula, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad e Muammar Kadafi. Este último rasgou a Carta da ONU, discursando para uma platéia muito apropriada, recheada de ditadores. Lula é amigão de vários deles. Esta semana recebeu o presidente do Irã, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, em solo brasileiro. Já chamou Kadafi de cumpanhêro, assim como Hugo Chavez, Evo Morales e, é sempre bom lembrar, Dilma Roussef, vulgo cumpanhêra Estela, que integrou a VAR ...

There is a mighty river flowing from a great inland sea. Half way down the river is an isle with a mountain in the middle. Around the mountain is a city. First people called it Ville Marie. We called it Montreal in Middle French

In the center of the city is a plaza where Iroquois defended themselves against whites. Now the place is taken by a bank. Both sides lost.

Around the plaza were the cobblestone streets with the stores closed ...

... places to go, how to get around, etc. So that was really helpful. I already had a map from the hostel but it’s one of those massive ones you have to unfold and hold out in front of you with straight arms and of course I feel so silly taking it out. When I was in Riviere-du-Loup I had a big one like that and whenever I got it out and I was on the street someone would stop and ask if I needed help! Anyway I had a bit of a walk around, used the subway, went to check ...

... Before getting on the train again I decided to eat as I was at the train station well ahead of time being a little bored (I was on my own!). So I went to one of the many places to eat and had the worst most greasy peice of pizza I have ever had! Fairly uneventful trip on account of my being on my own and only there for a day for the interview. However, I fully intend on going again in the summer at some point!

... really were incredibly squeaky, but it made for a good icebreaker with the other girls in the room. I decided to join a bike tour of Montreal that is offered by the hostel and it is just $20 for the bike rental. Thought it would be a great way to start seeing the city and to meet some other people too. Apparently it's not too strenuous, which is good, pretty laid back and relaxed. I will then try and see stuff the next day and can even the morning of ...

... the bus that will lead us to the Dorval airport, where we will take the Corsairfly flight (901) at 5:50 PM. From there, we will reach Paris, France, at 6:20 AM (local time) tomorrow morning. After a few minutes to relax when we arrive, we will go and explore the city, at a time when most of you will still be asleep. So, it's happening, all we have to do now is wait, let it all flow and hope for the best... I'm reminding you ...

... all of the local products. While I was in the store I saw this lady shoplifting a bottle of wine. I told the store attendant but she was out the door by then and he didn`t seem to want to catch her. Oh well. After that I went to Parc du Mont Royal which is a very popular park. There are trails to walk on, but the main attraction is a lookout point where you can see most of ...

Comme les prochains vols vers Montréal étaient seulement dans 2-3 jours, j'avais décidé d'essayer d'être "standby" pour les vols du 16 août. Il ne faisait pas beau et je ne voulais pas rester les bras croisés à mon hôtel. C'était d'autant plus déprimant que mes amies québécoises partaient le jour même. Arrivé à Charles-De-Gaules le bonhomme Zoom Airline m'apprend que la dernière fois qu'une personne en « standby » a eu la chance d'avoir une place, les poules avaient des dents! J ...

... get back to more of what I actually did. On the Thursday night, I went with Josh and his mate Dredgie to check out the Herbaliser, which is a british jazz/hip hop act which I'd heard of but didn't know any of their music. While it wasn't cheap by aussie standards (20 pounds) it was a terrific show with DJ, lots of horns and even a guest appearance from a Canadian MC who noone had heard of but got the crowd going and was even nice enough to stop for a chat with us ...
