i am studying francais for a month with the explore program at the university of montreal.
lemme tell you, it is hottttttttttttttttttttttttttttt its unfortunate because thats kept me from going out and exploring montreal and more importantly prevented me from trying to meet people in the program. also in montreal in general. my shyness is bad enough but with this heat wave, i dont feel like going out at all..
my studies are going well but the social life isnt.. oh man any montrealers in here that know good places to just go out and relax, any place good from getting away from the heat other than "home"
man, like i said in my clubbing thread, i'm a 5'8 asian guy, im not bad looking but dont speak any french.
my chances of meeting a hot french canadienne girl? i think we all know the answer. FUCK!
Pretty simple. if you want the "EZ lol"0 version of where the english nightlife is, go to crescent street. There's obviously individual spots off that street, but there's like.. 3 bars and 4 large clubs there. if you want to go meet some french women, there's a few clubs (foufs/boum/etc), and the main.

Wtf? This summer has been really really cool. [im canadian]
First, avoid to use expression like "french canadian girl" if you want to bang one...
Nightlife: Crescent street/ McGill Campus = full of english speaking chicks, but if you're kind of shy you might not feel confortable since you need to have a lot of money/showing it to enjoy nightlife down there...
For a french immersion in a cool atmosphere, try St-Denis street between St-Catherine St and Ontario St. You'll find plenty of cool pubs/terraces to enjoy hot summer with a glasses of sangria.
Bike: Fallow the bicycle route along the quay of the old port and St-Helen Island, it worth the ride!
Shows/Scene/Festivals/Restaurants: Use the "Voir" magazine (also at www.voir.ca)
My tip would be: Try to be part of the many festivals (Jazz/Just for laught/Night of Africa/Fantasia/Francofolies) going on, nice places to meet people, especially asian people at Fantasia (Concordia subway station (http://www.fantasiafest.com/2008/)) You must get away from the UDM's campus if you want to enjoy the life of the city!
Can also PM me if you need some more advices/ one-liner to talk to a woman in french ; )
By the way, the Best/July Final is coming... how about doing a special night somewhere in Montreal (I would say at my place, but daum stream turned laggy since a couple of month) and invite every TLers around ?
Would be a nice opportunity to meet Montrealers/Quebecers AND to cheer for July/celebrate his golden mouse together with a drink...

yesterday, it was 40 degrees in Montreal. Monday it as like 35-36.
If you get a chance, go to the Just pour rire festival in Mtl. Expect that 90% of the show are in french maybe more.
Good place to relax and fight the eat is going to the "Vieux-Port", near of the river, a bit more cool. Awsome view. If you like rollerblade and bike, its also a good place.
Yeah im in montreal this summer too and you dont need French AT ALL. Like was said about, go tour st cat's and the strip bars that are just like a door with bopping music blasting out and a guy at the front door who calls out "dont be a shmo, have a go!"
For the love of god, PLEASE GO TO CLUB SUPER SEXY. It is the best strip club ever.
As for regular bars and clubs, there's never a reason to go anywhere but St. Catherine's. I went last Sept. to Montreal for the first time, and I can't wait to go back.
hahaha burned toast, I'm up for that and btw jjun212 don't worry, if you really need to do something just pm me and we'll gather up some people and go out.
Also, crescent street is fine, tokyo is ok, if you want something more french, i recommend foufs, cafe campus.
If you want something more styling there is 1234 ( techno/hiphop) , light ultra club is fun, lamouche, etc, I don't suggest going alone though, oh well. There is also 737, which is really nice club. Also, do you drink? that would be good to know.
Btw, do NOT and I sincerely mean this, do NOT stay in the UDM campus, you'll get bored and it's not that hot anyways, go on st-catherine and just go for some shopping or just sight seeing or girl seeing .
EPT
u miss me miss that place.
maybe more.
