[poshpol]

the korean/japanese grocery store mentionned here located on stcatherine is great. i work in the same building (typing this from 3 floors above it lol) and often go down there to get funky canned drinks with labels i cant read! there seems to be quite a good selection of noodles too. also, shrimp chips which i have yet to try

[Liberation1945]

yo i wanna go to montreal so i can see the second largest french population or some shit in the world...

- can i survive knowing ZERO french?

- in montreal, will i be accepted for being SUPERgay?

- can i stay at someone's house for free? (i can do dishes and clean your rooms)

- will i get lost?

- will i survive with virtually ZERO dollars?

- do french canadians like korean people?

[nairb49]

Goodfoot has the coolest sneaker displays ever.. very functional and clean looking at the same time.

[herpsky]

are there any decent hair salons that can cut asian hair well?

[evisu 2000]

[herpsky]

[chub rock]

Justice will be back in oct (19), Boys noize are playing tonight, there are always good shows...

You can withdraw money from any canadian atm (call your bank to confirm) or any european one from that matter...so just bring like 100-200 Can in cash (go to exchange office or your bank).

ahaaha you picked a shitttttttttttttttttty time to come. i guess for a breif period yesturday the CAD dollar was actually equal to the USD....for the first time in like 30 years or some shit if i remember right.

the jazz festival will be going on so i definetly recommend that. about food, if you are looking for good food for good price, we have a bunch of bring your own wine restaurants which are always good for the wallet, duluth street has the highest concentration. other than that, there's litteraly a millions restaurants, give a price range and an idea of what you are looking for (both in terms of food and ambiance/crowd) an will provide more choice.

st-laurent street has the most bar, some good, many alright and and awful lot of places that sucks...

there's also a few good places in old montreal. avoid crescent street AT ALL COST.

[herpsky]

go to that goth ninja store in ye olde montreal and copp rafe zimonz.

copp ann d. at u&i

eat poutine and drink boreal

[evisu 2000]

should hitup the resto 2000db's brother works at... don't remember the name but the addr i believe is 3667 st denis? an apparently great wine selection, and the food is really really good.

[sarcasticone]

Don't forget Schwartz's for some smoked meat sandwiches. One of the main reasons to go there.

thank you for the suggestions. i'm gonna be up there on thursday. my friend got a dj gig while we're up there. anyone ever hear of guilty pleasures party? i'm hoping it isn't a montreal version of every hipster party in ny. what's good in terms of nightlife?

[herpsky]

every party in montreal is pretty much a hipster party.

no joke.

[2000dB]

[evisu 2000]

[doctorworm]

i am underage : ( so no beer for me

but i am down to chill and eat

i forget when exactly i am coming, i'll have to check, but i'll let y'all know

also good luck fattening me up, so far nothing has worked

also also poutine looks really gross, no offense

thx for hospitality

[doctorworm]

[evisu 2000]

[herpsky]

[Kasper]

not to be picky on grammar but it's called michel brisson

the old montreal store sucks, go to the one on laurier

Holt Renfrew has some good stuff as well

and you will LOVE poutine, everyone does

[Kasper]

does anyone know how good my french has to be to work retail?

i was in french immersion k-10 and my oral is pretty good

worm are you going to be in montreal after aug 23?

if you want to work downtown, it'll be enough, plus ppl are generally super happy when anglos from the ROC come here to learn french so it might actually work in your favor

Yeah, and as long as you can understand it pretty well and people see that you're actually making an effort to reply to them in French, they'll switch over to English anyway if they see you're having trouble getting your point across.
