Let's compare the two areas

Someone said "Montreal has the two areas, French area (North Montreal) and English area (South)". Today I tried to compare the two ares about the street, atomosphere, people etc..

At first I went to French area (because I live in French area, So it is very close to my residence). This area has lots of cute shops, French ads and French people. This is a picutre of "Avenue du Mont-Royal". Saturday afternoon, There were loads of people who were shopping, walking, dating..:-) and lots of cars and bikes. Japanese bike is very popular in Montreal!! Kawasaki, Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki.. I'm so happy. :-) I will take these pictures and show you next time.

Then I took a bus and Metro to go to English area. Flankly, I didn't understand what was different from French area. This is a picture of "Rue Wellington".There were many French ads and French people also.. Except, I noticed only one difference, it was a street sign.

This is a street sing of North Montreal, and This is a South one. Marks of them are different, can you see them?

One of my friends (he came from UK) said "Montreal is a very similar city to London". When I heard that, I satisfied myself that there were few differences between French area and English area. I think "Montreal is Montreal, there are scarecely differences in this city, but Montreal might have lots of differences compared with other cities in Canada.." I want to travel all over Canada, and find out about culture differences!
