Montreal: An American's perspective.

Everyone in this fucking city speaks French. I have no idea what anyone is saying. Everyone walks around waving Lebanese flags. The ones not flying Lebanese flags are homeless. Men wear capri pants, red shoes, and all of them have faux-hawks. The ones that don't have faux-hawks are old American tourists or Asian girls. Asian males bring handwritten guide books into arcades and study them in between rounds of King of Fighters. No one understands that placing a quarter on the deck of a cabinet reserves your place in the rotation. Mixed drinks cost between eight and fifteen Canadian dollars. I have no idea how much that is in non-monopoly money, but I imagine it is a bit too much. This place is so hip it makes me want to jump in the lake.

Turn your post into a song.

You hit up a strip club yet? I've heard they're top shelf. Or maybe that was Toronto. I don't remember, but somewhere in Canada is strip club heaven.

Most people speak English as well, they just start off in French unless they're sure you (only) speak English. The big 3 Canadian cities have large populations of everything, during the World Cup anything and everything was being waved. Arcades are predominantly Asian hangouts these days. Re: drinks, you're getting ripped off... did you go to a strip club or something? I've never paid that much for a drink in Montreal, ever.

From my experience, people in the real parts of Canada don't even take ownership for Quebec. I once had a fourth-line manager from the Vancouver area ask me "International? That's everyone but Quebec, right?"

When a friend got back from Montreal, all he talked about were the best fake titties and the best real titties he had ever seen in the strip clubs there, and very small yet very cheap cans of beer he found somewhere and just drank a ton of. Montreal sounded okay to me.

There's no Canada like French Canada.

WTF?!

I don't go to strip clubs. I prefer to fuck girls, not watch them dance around.

Also, in all fairness these are restauraunt drink prices. Haven't been to a "bar" yet.

I was paying the american equivalent of that in downtown Manhattan over the weekend....but Manhattan > Montreal.
