Vieux Montr\u00e9al.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Underground.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Somewhere en route Rue Ste. Catherine.<\/p><\/div>\n

I hesitate to call it one of the most beautiful cities in the world, but only because I believe every city is\u00a0beautiful\u00a0in its own way. There’s an old world charm to it, perhaps because of the architecture and French-filled streets; there’s no honking, no madness, no rush. Very unlike New Jersey, and very much unlike New York City. It runs on air and clean streets, Montreal; New York\u00a0thrives\u00a0on hasty energy and clogged traffic. There’s a divide in culture and atmosphere and vibe\u2014but to each their own. I love both.<\/p>\n

I hear French-twinged accents and melt at these people’s\u00a0abilities\u00a0to switch between two languages so flawlessly. Why are Americans so set on learning a second language as just a supplement? English is neither the sole language in existence, nor is it the most powerful. We’re egocentric, us Americans… Education should be a priority.<\/p>\n

The grid streets aren’t unlike New York City’s; they’re just cleaner. Supposedly they’re designed methodically for ease of navigation, but I’ve never been good with directions. I always like to know things so I can apprehend. Prepare. But knowing\u00a0where<\/em> I am is secondary, if not completely irrelevant. Naive? Yes. Perhaps I’ve come to rely too heavily on my beloved Garmin<\/a>, or\u00a0perhaps\u00a0I felt safe enough in the midst of my companions to guide me home (which they did, thankfully). I like the idea of being lost, of taking in my surroundings\u2014because that’s how I experience and get on an adrenaline high. That’s how I remember. Let me see. Let me touch, let me explore. I’ll never be lost again after that.<\/p>\n

I felt safe in this city I didn’t know. It was so relaxed, yet so alive. There was immense pride for this city. There was culture. History. Diversity and unity, all at once. A city of art and bicycles and cobblestones by day, a throbbing heart by night.<\/p>\n

I danced on a rooftop all night long<\/a> my last night there. One breath took in woozy dry ice\u2014I didn’t mind\u2014and the entirety of the city. Black but bright with taxis and young people and lights.<\/p>\n

This would be ze perfect city for you young people,\u00a0<\/em>our taxi driver had said en route to the club.<\/p>\n

It would.<\/p>\n
