IT IS HARD BUT IT HAS TO BE DONE
by RafaelTheSecond
I hate saying good bye, packing the luggage and come back home after one of the best times of my life. My trip to Canada was a life lesson, but anyway.
This is the opportunity for you to see how marvellous a typical street of Montreal is in the winter!
And if you have to go to the airport, make sure you are going at least one hour before the time scheduled, because the traffic is very slow during the afternoon, above all in the way to Dorval Airport! Fondest Memory???? Umm let me think...Mont royal was simply incredible!

Montreal has an exciting architectural mixture of sky-scrapers and older and lower buildings. I found this neo-gothic church between shops, malls and business districts.

The Old city the one which was founded by french people leaded by Mainsonneuve , and surrounded by a wall during the English and French Wars is the most interesting thing I saw in Montreal.
You can still visit historic buildings and monuments in all the area between the Champ of Mars and the River St Lawrence. I enjoyed when I visited the Cityhouse of Montreal. There De Gaulle shouted to the crowds :'Vive le Quebec libre'
Montreal Tip
by Kindra
Listening to all of the great francophone music that my franco-friends introduced me to. The drinking songs, 'Ma chere Kindra, ma chere Kindra- lever ton verre, lever ton verre...', Louise Attaque and their song 'Je t'emmene au vent' ringing throughout the halls of the res where we were staying and our absolute joy when 'La Vie est Laide' would come on in the bar, (a Jean Leloup song that was very popular summer 1999). This is his third album, Les Fourmis. CHECK OUT MY NEW TRAVELOGUE ON FRANCOPHONE MUSIC!
Canada Day = Moving Day
by brazwhazz
To Montrealers, July 1st is not only Canada Day, but also Moving Day!
That is because the vast majority of leases last from July 1st to June 30th. So every year on this day, thousands of people round up their friends to help them move (in return for pizza and beer, naturally). So if you're wondering what all those moving trucks are doing all over town, don't worry, people aren't fleeing the city by the masses -- this is very normal.
If you're in Montreal at this time of year, you may want to set aside July 1st to visit some residential neighbourhoods and witness this interesting social phenomenon first-hand... before heading to the more official Canada Day celebrations at night, of course!
