A
I picked up my two best friends and we were off on a road trip.I had just returned to America from a year abroad in China.So,naturally I wanted to take a trip to Canada.
Montreal,the second largest city in Canada,is a fourhour drive from my home in New Hampshire.We felt a thrill as we crossed the border into Canada.It was the first time I had ever driven across an international border.We turned on the radio to try and find some Canadian stations.
After dropping off our bags at our hotel,we were immediately walking down the famous St.Catherine's Street.While we walked,two things surprised us:how cold it was and how well everyone dressed.The streets of Montreal are like a fashion show.Both men and women look like they stepped out of the pages of a magazine.
All of that fashion has to keep them warm since Montreal is so cold.Last year it broke the record for the most snowfall in North America.To hide from the cold we went into a small diner because we wanted to order Poutine,a very popular snack in Montreal.It is French fries covered in cheese and brown gravy (肉汁).It is delicious.
However,we had a hard time ordering the dish since the official language of Montreal is French.It is actually the fifth largest Frenchspeaking city in the world.But since the rest of Canada speak English,plenty of people were there to help.
We spent the rest of the weekend going to many historical churches and monuments in Montreal.But at night we'd head to the very modern dance clubs and bars.Montreal is a city that sits between the past and the future and the traveller can choose whichever direction he wants to go.
