I feel that I can’t stay in this country anymore nor talk with people around me. That’s why I often drive for 10 hours or take a flight to Montreal to escape. There, I can freely express my feeling and Quebecois are friendly and sometimes affectionately intimate to me. I feel true freedom there.
I enjoy its history and people, the entire city. I walk around hours and hours until total exhaustion. One time I stepped in a cheap cafe and the owner is an Italian and speak Italian. Two customers are Anglophones who used a lot of f* words. I’ve never heard so many f* words in short period of time. Other two customers are francophones.
I enjoyed the musical aspects of the language, though I am sure that they are rednecks. I opened up my math book and reading it for about an hour.

1. We sent out our daughter to a college in Montreal 4 years ago.
2. We wanted her to live in one of the most liberal city outside US.
3. We disappointed our Government and wished her to be in the most safe place we think.
4. She is still there in Ph.D. program.
5. I like her boy friend & his family.
6. I feel Europe in Montreal.
7. Everybody is a minority & have their own pride.
8. Most people (2/3) speak two (francophone/anglophone) or more languages (plus some).
9. A lot of fun (Jazz, Comedy, Movie) festivals.
10.I miss my daughter.
I have more in the finished goal section as “Tell My Montreal”

I fell in love with the place as soon as I set foot there. Beautiful. I don’t really know that much French, or I don’t have any contacts there. But you know what? Something deep inside of me is telling me that this is where I will live one day.

Is not montreal, but Saint-Hubert is an amazing place for kids to grow up. Currently i am renting a Duplex but every morning i feel i could buy a house here. Montreal is close enough and when i am done i can get home and enjoy the peace and quite of the neighborhood.
