Montreal

---

Montreal was ok, the place is more about festivals than having many tourist activities. The city is more french than english which confused me because most french people speak english and a lot of english can't speak french but the signage was in french and this annoyed me. I felt like I was back in paris again, not good. Apart from that the people where nicer than in paris and parts of the city where pretty. They have loads of shopping, I actually saw more than I did in new york. My new fave shop is dollarama, our version of pound stretcher haha. My hostel was very well located in the middle of rue saint paul, the heart of old town. It was very good value for money but I've still a bruise on my forehead from where I wacked my head of the low ceiling in my room. 6 days on and it's still sore to touch haha
