Montreal, Canada


We took the train to Montréal which took something like 5 hrs so I was feeling a lot better once we arrived and was ready to head to the hostel checked in and had some of the beer I’d packed then had dinner played pool and drank more made a few more friends and we decided to hit a karaoke bar so after stopping in an Irish bar we finally made it to a karaoke bar numbers dwindled down to 5 by the time we made it there so we drank 4 pitchers (4L) on top of shots of tequila and all the beer we drank earlier sang many songs like YMCA and American pie and then invaded the stage it was fun then after closing i headed back to the hostel I went to get into bed and realised there was already someone there so I just hopped into the nearest available bed only to be moved, this happened 2 more times until I finally found an empty bed so I was happy till I woke up practically naked and freezing with no blanket, pillows or even sheets I was disgusted and feeling very sick.....again!
That day I wandered around Montréal did not see much as I was too sick to really care about it I just walked to be able to say I walked around Montréal. That night about 30 of us went on a pub crawl it was epic one of the best nights of my life. I really improved my French and ended up doing pole dances. some of us took a taxi back to the hostel I remember speaking French to the driver a lot of French I was very impressed with myself then after I remember sitting down outside the hostel with a few others and discovering a bike so we took turns cycling around the streets of Montréal fun times!
Next morning feeling....you guessed it very sick I went to book in again for another few nights but unbeknownst to me it was thanksgiving weekend so there was no accommodation to be had in Montréal or Québec so I had to get all the way back to Toronto and fast otherwise I’d be homeless so numerous busses later and major queues in Ottawa I finally made it to Toronto and got off at the wrong stop so i had to catch a bus again and missed my stop there so had to get a train home it took me an eternity to get home! But I left Montréal with some of the best memories from my trip so far!
