Montreal

Montreal is in the province of Quebec in Canada. Montreal is an island in the Saint Laurent river.The climate change a lot with the seasons, it´s very cold in winter (October to March) about -20 degrees, sometimes – 30 and -40 and sometimes -10, and it´s usualy snowing. However, in summer it´s very hot, about 30 degrees. In autumn it´s very beautiful because all the vegetation, trees,the leaves are red, orange, yellow. The population of Montreal was of 1,854,442 inhabitants in 2006 . The first language is =French but English is learn at school. There a lot of different nationality so Montreal is a very cosmopolitan city. The night life in Montreal is very exciting for all the ages. The excellent public transportation system combined to other aspects of the Montreal culture make the city night life unique.The crime rate in Montreal has always been relatively low for a city of its size. But Montreal has been the scene of several school shootings including the Dawson College Shooting, the Ecole Polythecnique massacre and the Concordia University massacre. I lived five years in Montreal, and I like it a lot because it´s both very peaceful, safe and exciting for young people, I was very independent, I could go out during the night and came back at home alone. There a lot of parks make this city very pleasant and agreeable. Besides, there are a lot of things to do like going to the club, cinema, shopping and a lot of nice places.

I recommend Montreal to visitors and also to people who search a very ncie place to live !! I lived for 5 years at Montreal and I enjoy it very much !! It´s not a big city with a lot of building like big americain city, it´s a more an europeen city. There are a center with building but also very old church, house and momuments… It´s a very pleasant city because there are a lot of parks. Mont-Royal, for example, is a big park with a beautiful view of Montreal, trees with squirrels, flowers …
