Home

So after a week in the US, I finally arrived home at 10.30pm last night to Montreal.

Driving into the CBD of Montreal, I was struck by this huge feeling of 'HOME'. Being on the bus with French and English again, looking out at all the street signs, all the familiar places I was really struck by how relaxed I felt.

And safe.

Montreal has this real community feeling about it. I am not afraid to travel late at night, I find most people to be friendly when interacting, and it is very much a place with its own culture, its own ambience.

Quebec has its own distinct personality, it's own distinct way.

I love walking down the street hearing different languages
I love partying to Francophone and Anglophone tunes
I love that the city is centralised around four main horizontal streets: Rene -Levesque, Saint-Catherine, De Maisonnerve, and Sherbrooke
I love the trendiness of my suburbs - The Plateau, the McGill Ghetto, and Cote Des-Neiges

I love that I feel safe, feel creative, feel comfortable... and feel at home.

Untill this point I actually had no idea how much this unusual Canadian city had grown on me.
