Hope everybody had a good time!
1) Impressed by the number of tourists in Mtl - streets were filled with Yanks. Pubs, clubs and strip joints were overflowing. An international flavour to the party atmosphere is always welcome. West Island kids is not enough ;)
2) Not impressed that public transportation was not extended overight. City really dropped the ball on this one. I understand it is expensive and workers want to enjoy themselves but with -15C, taxis are the only option unless you want frostbite. And taxis are freaken expensive ...
3) Not impressed with Old Port celebrations. It was too cold for any outdoor event - ban this sort of thing until global warming gives us a temperate North Carolina climate. And music sucked unless you like traditional Quebecois music which I am not fond of to say the least.
4) Conclusion: should have paid $115 for Centre Bell event or organize a road trip to Big Apple.
