Montreal

Going through Montreal Bridge - Just a random shot : >
Going through the Montreal Bridge... And we are here! Welcome to Montreal! Well, this city is another city that is similar to France, as I mentioned before. Also, the places of interest here is also almost similar to Quebec, which is Old Montreal, Notre Dame and Place de Armes. I only passed by Court of Justice and I don’t think I need to say anything about China Town since… The name tells us everything.

Statue of Maisonneuve and City Hall at the back

Notre Dame in Montreal
Uhm… So, Place de Armes is a fountain in which there is a statue of Maisonneuve, the founder of Montreal. Behind Place de Armes is Old Montreal, which is the old City Hall of Montreal. Right across Place de Armes, there is Montreal’s Notre Dame, in which of course, Notre Dame is a church, just like the one in Ottawa and Quebec. Well, no longer there is not much to say – three of the places of interest are very nearby, not to mention that we can see China Town from here, in which is also close to Court of Justice and the new City Hall of Montreal.

The new City Hall
Here is the new City Hall of Montreal that is currently used. Again, nothing much to say about this place of interest as it is similar to the previous city.

Cour Municipale 
Because this place is using French as their main language, the name of the building is named as “Cour Municipale”, in which “Cour” means “court” and “Municipale” means justice. Hmm, a few new words are learnt! Too bad though, that we did not go down from the bus. :/

Random Tips: To be honest, in China Town, I bought and drank a bottle of green tea that is about to expire in one day! Side notes – It is made in Singapore, and in Singapore’s time… It’s expiry date. Be careful around there – Please check the dates before purchase!


Hmm, nothing else to say about Montreal then. Final stop: Boston :>
