On Montreal

Munich* is better than Montreal in every way that matters, except food. I have never eaten more in my life. Picture New York but smaller covered in grafiti and with a more visible homeless population. Now take that image, make it slightly less harsh, and fill it with about half French-speaking caucasians and half French-speaking asians. They also have electronic parking meters. Preeetty nifty.

*I use Munich as a basis for comparison because it's among the finest cities I have had the pleasure of being in.
