I was at the Hyatt for dinner and when we left the parking garage I asked the attendant in my best made up French 'our est le gaz station?'

He sent me miles out of the way to a station that was closed, when there was actually a station that was open just down the street.

that guy probably didn't have a car and he probably take the subway for transportation

Ottawa is a blast on Canada day

hell, london, ontario was a blast on canada day! of course, that was the only real canada day I've been around for, but it was still great.

the honest lawyer is probably my favoritest bar of all time

Yes Ottawa is a blast. We once borrowed my buddies credit card on him and racked up a 2000 bar tab. My god it was funny the next morning, we put it back in his wallet with the receipt. Priceless.   Oddly that was rugby as well 15 (alright  it was more like ten  i didn't want to sound like a lush)of us drank on him that night. Well we paid him back but not for a few days. He was too drunk to remember. That and women in a hot tube in a bar was all i remember about that canada in ottawa. Good times.

I only lived in Montreal for a very short time as a young child, but spend some time there every year as my father's family is all from Montreal, although mostly all dead now.

I've also lived in Ottawa (10 years), Toronto (15 years) and currently Hamilton. Montreal is far and away my favourite Canadian city and I've spent time in every major Canadian city.

There are some french canadians who can be rude to english speaking folks, but I generally find most Quebecois very, very friendly.

Quebec women in Montreal and Quebec City are the easily the most beautiful and stylishly dressed in the country.

Montreal strip joints are the best in the North America. (if that's your thing)

moto gp weekend is a fantastic party. I'm not sure if they still run the beer festival the same weekend, but it is fantastic as well.

if you're a foodie, Montreal is a fantastic city.

if you're a night clubber, Montreal is fantastic.

if you're a pub person, Montreal has great pubs.

if you like architecture, Montreal is a great city.

Brutopia is a cool spot.

we were discussing the trip last night and the girls in the group want to go watch guys strip.

the unsatisfactory answer i gave was "just wait until we get drunk. there's an indoor pool." 


so that got me wondering do the male strip clubs have the same reputation as being great?
We'll have a "pay naked people night" where the males and females are segregated. lol

it has been passed on. 

First day here. So far everyone has been very friendly. I just apologize for not speaking French. 

Got in very early and have only wanted a bit of the city so far though.

Looks like a good portion of the crew (80 people) are bailing for tonight. Anything good going on for happy hr or later? Planning on checking out the Irish later. Let me know if anyone is around!
