Montreal, Canada


A few months ago, I took a spontaneous trip over the United States border to Montreal, Canada. This was a thrilling experience to be in an area that is so culturally different, citizens speak both French and English. When crossing the border, I urge you not to forget your passport! Driving along the Canadian border another thing to keep in mind is the speed limit is not 90 mph, but kilometers! It took me a few miles to realize that I was going entirely way over the speed limit.

While visiting Canada I had to exchange my currency and got to see the beauty of this capital, although unfortunately only from nighttime because slept the days away.
Montreal is the largest city in the providence of Quebec and the weather is relatively cold due to its location up North. I frequently used the Metro line to get from one part of the city to other, one thing Canada definitely has on America, it was so clean!

A few things i would check in Montreal upon your visit would be the underground mall. Hundred's of stores are lined throughout passage ways, you are bound to find anything you need. From my long weekend stay, my biggest thrill endured from the city was the exciting night life. Montreal is much like New York City in the sense that the city never sleeps. Many night clubs and bars fill the streets of downtown Montreal. Time Club is one I recommend you go to, have a late dinner and dance the night away after 11pm when the restaurant turns into a full nightclub. The center of the club stations a cat walk for anyone to dance and the layout provides ample fun and a chance to get to know other Canadians and tourists. Canada is on of the funniest experiences I've had in awhile, the drinking age is 18 in case you were curious!
