locker_monster | Bonjour de Montréal!

It's Saturday night and I'm not watching Doctor Who. :-( Alas, the hotel doesn't have the Space channel and it doesn't look like Space streams the episode on their site until later. I know I shouldn't be this disappointed, but this episode looked really good. Oh well...

So, Montreal. I was in Quebec City a few years ago but it's probably been ten years since I've been in Montreal. My French is still rubbish.

And holy heck, it's humid here. I had forgotten how humid it can get and it's not even summer. My sister said to pack a sweater but I should have brought shorts and a hat. Of course, I'm a big wimp when it comes to heat, so anything hitting the high 20s is too hot for me.

Aside from the heat, it's not so bad here. The atmosphere is so different from home. People are out at all hours. At home? Yeah, the downtown gets pretty quiet after midnight. I guess the Québécois really know how to party. ;-) The upside is you can walk through the downtown late at night and you don't feel awkward because there's still lots of people out and about. And the Metro is a lot like the Tube in London so it's not too bad getting around.

I need to get some poutine now or maybe some Montreal smoked meat. Or maybe poutine with Montreal smoked meat on top. Mmm...
