Are you sure you didn't go to Quebec City? Because, you can say a lot of the same things about it - except that it's even more French.

Arn said:Just coming to the end of a 5 night, 6 day visit to Montreal. My first sort of ?post? pandemic travel trip. It has been wonderful. The city is really lovely; the old city in particular. The actual ?French-ness? was a bit of a shock actually at first. I knew French was the language and of course the history but I didn?t really realise it was going to be quite AS French. That was definitely my naivety.
I did catch a Canadiens game in the Bell Centre and it was a great game, despite them winning. I saw a Duchene hat trick and a line brawl so those are going to remain my take away from that to forget the result!
I almost ended up trying to accidentally vote in a Chilean presidential election yesterday.
The people have been, in the main, wonderful and helpful. My prior experiences in Canada (my three trips to Toronto) meant that this was not a surprise.
We?ve done some touristy stuff. Some of it has been great, some less so. But that?s the deal with these things. The highlight was probably our visit to the Norte Dame basilica for a light show which was one of the most immense things I?ve ever seen. My three year old sat for 20 minutes with his jaw literally dropped open.
He also said tonight ?can we stay?? So I think that?s the ultimate seal of approval.
Flying home tomorrow with a few hour stop in Toronto Pearson airport where I hope to find some Leafs gear

In my defense, I've never once asked where the library is. I've certainly asked where the pub is.
Highlander said:I lived in Montreal for 5 years in the 80's and loved every minute of it. Nice people, very nice people, great resto's, old city. Lots of great memories. I am glad you liked it Arn. Try Quebec City next time.
Arn said:I spent 8 years studying French, all be it a long time ago, and while I can still understand signs and stuff I never was able to just switch languages like that. It?s a nice skill to have in life.
