Welcome to my Neighborhood....

So. My neighborhood. Let me take you guys up north into beautiful Montreal, Canada. Montreal is a bilingual city, where you see french in big writing and underneath the english version in type 10 font. Yes! And if you fail to write anything in French you get a ticket! I guess we want to keep French the main language in Montreal. I live in the suburbs of Montreal, in the "West". "West as in the west island. Typically the West is more the chichi, daddy's girl, spoiled English crowed( which I am not part of). The west Islanders have their reputation! It is the Long island of New York. In the west, I live in Pointe-claire which is the closest to Montreal, 20 mins by bus on a straight highway separating it form downtown. On my street there are two houses. I love it! Everything looks almost the same, the houses are nice and big, in the summer kids play outside, there are plenty of green and parks and even forests in my beautiful neighborhood. Everyone has their own garage and nice green lawns. I believe in the summer it is always a competition between neighbors as to who will get the greener grass. I think my parents do a pretty good job! In my neighborhood, we have a suburban train that goes deeper in the west or to society(downtown Mtl). Buses don't run often, that's why you almost must have to have a car if you live in the West. It is a very community focused area, where if you have extra curricular activities it is the place to be. My neighborhood is seperated by a Lake. I live on the other side of the Lakeshore, but it is a short ten fifteen minutes walk to it. I used to love to take long walks, or late night car rides along the shore....Oh I miss it!
