Moved!

So, I am now moved from downtown to a new nicer but smaller place on the edges of Westmount-NDG. Oh mon dieux, my neighbourhood is so ANGLAIS! I wasn't expecting it to be so... non-French. If it wasn't for the bilingual signs, I'd think I was in another province... the boy commented that he felt like he was in another city... so true.

I won't have a phone line or internet for at least a week. Yay for McGill's Redpath Computer place and a borrowed username and password. :)

Anyway, it feels very strange to be out of downtown. I don't really miss the scary druggies or passed-out drunks, nor do I miss the smell of tuna/urine in the elevators of "Le Chatelian."

I quite enjoy my morning commute. I walk down two streets to Marlowe, then walk down the tree-lined Marlowe to Metro Vendome... make a switch at Lionel Groulx, and a few stops to McGill Metro. Everyone on the Metro is quiet, and most people read or listen to their iPods. For now, I'm people-watching and getting used to the stops... soon I'll be reading or something.

One thing I've noticed is a lot of people on the bus and Metro are reading "The Da Vinci Code." I should likely read it some day too, so I can feel special.

Anyway, I must go and take the 24 home... I like the front-door service it offers (well, to my corner), even though it's a longer ride.
