You Know You Live in Montreal When...


... you answer the phone and a lady starts talking to you in Chinese. Wrong number, of course!

...you're nothing special unless you speak at least 6 different languages.

... instead of going shopping at the mall, you drive to New York for the weekend to buy nicer and cheaper clothes.

... you might get arrested for staring (lovingly) at someone's baby. That is, unless you don't get beat up first.

... there's not much fun you can have in the winter, but you can hardly wait for the 4 months when the streets are filled with people and with all kinds of festivals.

... 20-30-year old people, who are better dressed than you, ask you for money at every corner.

... going to Peru costs just as much as going to Romania (although there are huge price differences once you get there).

... you either adore the city or just simply hate it.

am eu unul pe blog care ridica in slavi minunata viata canadiana. m-as duce si eu, dar e frig rau de tot la voi frate:))

Da, il stiu pe "canadianu'". Este punctul lui de vedere, nu si al meu :-). E adevarat ca-i foarte frig uneori, dar pe mine nu asta ma doare, ci raceala oamenilor. Daca as mai sta pe-aici, m-as muta in partea engleza fara doar si poate. Dar stai acolo, Cetin, ramai in Europa: esti mai aproape de rude si prieteni (stiu, stiu, dar tot conteaza) si ai acces la mai multa cultura. Poti descoperi ce tara vrei tu, din Europa si chiar din Africa, deoarece preturile sunt modice, iar multumirea sufleteasca pe care ai simti-o dupa fiecare calatorie "ar face toti banii".
Banuiesc ca stii foarte bine ca nicaieri nu umbla caini cu covigi in coada. Nu uita ca sunt unii exaltati si altii mai putin entuziasmati, fiecare dupa experienta PERSONALA. Voi doi luati decizia intr-un final, nimeni altcineva.
