Hi everyone, What do you like about your city? Is it the beautiful landscape? The quality of life? The job opportunities? Is there any major attractions? Or you simply like the people in general? This is just an informative thread to share the good things to see in different places across Canada. As a touring lady, I'd love to know more about what's interesting in other places. Let me share my experience of Montreal... The cultural scene in Montreal is absolutely vibrant We have over a hundred of festivals every year, (Jazz festival, Just for laughs, Montreal World Film Festival, Montreal Fireworks Festival and many other world class events) and a dozen of amazing museums that's one of the most popular reason why people come to Montreal. The ethnic diversity: Montreal features a China Town, a Little Italy, a Little Portugal and various other neighbourhoods adopted by immigrants as their own. The cost of living are more than fair: For a central apartment, you can expect to pay between 600-800$ (depending on the area) for a 2 bedroom. Electricity costs are also pretty low ! Learning french will never be easier: Montreal is a great place to call home, and yes, believe it or not, you can get by on limited french. Nightlife: You can go out whenever you want and there's always something to do. What to do in Montreal? From museums to art galleries, historic sites to beautiful architecture, Montreal has something for everyone. - Mount Royal offers one of the best known vistas in Canada. - The Biodome, Botanical Gardens, Insectarium and Planetarium make up the Montreal Nature Museums, the largest natural science museum in Canada. - A visit to the Olympic Park will take you back in time to 1976. - A walking tour of the Old Port is a view of the evolution of Montreal. The Port features architecture from the 17th century to the 20th century, often right next to each other. - Montreal is also home to major sports teams including the National Hockey League team, the Canadiens; Canadian Football League team, the Alouettes; and more recently the Major League Soccer team, the Impact. I like Montreal for the reasons mentioned above. It's a beautiful city, it's clean, the people are nice and there's a good night life. Oh, and Montreal is well known for its open mindness and pretty girls ;). Come around in summer, you wont' be disappointed !!! :) So, what do you like about your city? I'd love to hear from you guys xoxo
