Montreal

A review of this place: Montreal, Canada

I went to Montreal in 2004 and I thought it was an wonderful place.

First, I was fascinated with the snow all around, because I had never seen that before. I lived in São Paulo during all my life, so I really didn’t know what I could see there.

Montreal, in 2004, was classified as the 9th city most liveable in the world (Melbourne being the first). The criterias were: climate, housing, crime rate, transport, education, focus on the environement, culture and events, diversity, connections with the rest of the world, health services and recreational activities.

I think that one of the reasons that made Canada be placed in this position is the fact that Montreal is an extremely cold city during winters. And normally that’s a negative point.

I remember that, one day, the temperature was -41ºC! But it was a new expreience for me so I was fond of it.

Even though, I think Montreal has two important positive points. The first one, is about transport. Here in São Paulo, buses may take more than 30 minutes to arrive while in Montreal, they take only 5 minutes.

The other point is about education. Actually, in Montreal, there are 248 000 students enrolled in post-secundary education, which is one of the highest numbers in the world. What is also nice, is that there are two “types” of schools: for those whose first language is French, and for those who first language is English. But at the end, people learn two languages, which is wonderful!

Melbourne

Why I want to go to this place

Melbourne is a city in Australia, state capital of Victoria. It is considerated like the Australia’s “sporting and cultural capital”. This city is also a kind of mix of diferent cultures.

In 1865, Melbourne was Australia’s most important city but later on, this position was tooken by Sydney.

Even though, Melbourne was classified as a top city in 2004. The criterias were climate, housing, crime rate, transport, eductaion, focus on the environement, culture and events, diversity, connection with the rest of the world, health services and recreational activities.

Melbourne won from the others Australian cities because of its weather, rated best. And also the fact that the city received perfect for all the criterias.

This makes Melbourne the most liveable city in the world.

I really would like to see and to live a bit of all this perfection of this wonderful city.

Eating pizzas =) xDD

If you want to eat lots of different pizzas in São Paulo, I think you should go at the “Mansão da Pizza”. Despite the fact is in the middle of an avenue, it is a nice place, car’s noise are not so loud.

I suggest this restaurant because it is not too much expensive and you have the possibility of trying many different flavours because the pieces are not extremely big. I also think it was tasty, one more reason for going.

The boys and girls who were working there were really nice to us, which, in my opinion, counts a lot. When I go somewhere, it can be a restaurant, a shop, or whatever, if the people who work are smiling, or showing that they want you there, and that they enjoy they’re work (even if they don’t), it motivates the client to buy, to eat, just to mention a few. I know it’s difficult to keep the good humour, but you don’t need to be rough.

There must be other places to eat lots of pizzas in São Paulo, but I enjoyed there, principally of the fact that it isn’t expensive and it is tasty.
