I love, I love, I love Montreal
Yes I do! I need a better Digital Camera, some fat memory cards, and enough time just to show you a pinch of Montreal. I spent the last 9 years in West Coast Canada mainly Vancouver BC, and now I am starting to doubt whether I picked the right city to live in.
I am staying in the Place D’armes Hotel ( I really recommend it btw ) which has the most beautiful lounge ever called Suite 701. You spend a night here, it looks like a scene out of the Wallpaper magazine, with no compromise. Coincidently my apartment number in West Vancouver is 701 too!
Here are the first set of photographs, they are mainly buildings. First impression that I had from Montreal is all about the beautiful Architecture that is evident on every street. Apparently the long cold winters forces people to spend quite a bit indoors and create social circles, which is why they put so much effort on Interior Design, Food, and Fashion. I’ve got more to say, but I need to sit in a corner and write.
Get these photographs from me for now, and I’ll post more of what I think about Montreal, and it’s people.
And sorry Vancouver folks you’ve got years to catch up with the French. 2 days in Montreal out-washed 9 years of my Vancouver experience. Could be becuase I am more of a city person!

Very nice, Rastin.
I don’t know if you could take the winters, though. I’ve been in MontrĂ©al just after winter, and it can be vicious ….

Oh I don’t mind the winters at all. Culture and the People can make the toughest winters seem like spring. I found people of Montreal very sociable and friendly too
