It's been hot and close day. Montreal is a beautiful city as with the people in it, even when they look casual, they look sophisicated. The Olympic village was disappointing. I went to see the velodrome which is now the 'Biodome'. Interesting in itself with having four different type of environments under one roof. The mass of people put me off. You were 'bottle-necked' through passages around the building. I couldn't wait to get out of there. I got some good pi...

Hi there, It's my first day in Montreal. The sun is shining, I've been out for a run and the town is beautiful and very french. It's amazing how much french you can remember when you have to. Sadly, I have remember stuff from the age of 12. Still, I'm getting by and not staving. I'm currently staying at the McGill University. The buildings are stunning as with the sports facilities. The Mount Royal Park is close by and has 10km of trails through woods. I'm ...

This is my fourth attempt of typing this in, so it will be brief. Each time I have finished and clicked onto 'next', I have lost all the data. Not impressed and very time consuming. Despite the minor technical hitches, my time in toronto has been great. I enjoyed the comedy club, many jokes aimed at the americans. I have visited the vinyards with James and his friend Catherine. Tasted icewine, eaten great food, seen the 'Charlatons' (90's indie band) and ju...

Hi there, Sorry no pictures today, I'm struggling to download them. Last night was excellent, good performances form all the bands. I even got a pictue taken with one of the lead singers. I'm nursing a-bit of a hangover today and drinking lots of water. I'm in a different internet cafe today. I'm one of the few english speaking individuals in here. There perhaps 30 of us, all tapping away. There are some spanish, croatian, mexican, brazilian, indian and po...
