going to montreal, Canada. Any suggestions of places to visit and food to try?
RayB:
Yeah, most people are bilingual in Montreal. Enough so that those jackasses in the "Bloc Quebecois" party are trying to push for more language discrimination laws. (yes you read that right, not anti-discrimination, but for forcing people to speak the bastardized quebec french in the workplace).
ChadTower:
Everybody in Montreal speaks English when they see green money. The English may stop when the money does, though.
stu33:
Yeah, money is an amazing translator. I went up for a bachelor party up there a few years ago. The club scene is just surreal. The funny thing is, the 'dancers' all seemed to be medical students from New Jersey. It's like they had a convention where they gave out generic 'starter' background stories for the girls to use to try and convince men to part with their money.
shateredsoul:
I'm really a student, do they give discounts? :laugh:

A real Montreal Smoked Meat Sandwich is also a good touristy food choice aside from the Poutine.
Though I love Poutine a lot more. Especially at the end of a night of drinking...
don't be scared of the term "cheese curds" either, it's just the top layer of young cheese and is actually very tasty. Melts easily too.
Also, be very careful crossing the street in Montreal. In true french fashion, car's don't stop for you, you stop for cars.
Go to the St. Catherines strip, enjoy a large number bars there. Montreal women are very outgoing and you'll be surprised how many flirty french women you encounter there. ;)
Also, if you can catch a hockey game, the Montreal Canadians games are loud and filled with die-hard fans. It's a good time, even if you're not into hockey so much.
