| Monday, August 25th, 2008: Helsingborg to Glasgow to Montreal to London | | 2008-08-25 02:13:00 | | What I think:I just got back last Thursday night after a two-week trip. The main purpose of the journey was to attend a 26th-year high school reunion in Montreal, but I had been incessantly nagged by a friend to visit her in Glasgow for the past few years so, since I had to fly via London anyway (no direct flights to Montreal from Copenhagen), I thought I'd take the opportunity to make a detour up to Glasgow, as I had never been, and was pretty much passing by, and boy-oh-boy this was a long sentence (*stops for breath*).My girlfriend and I got on the ferry from Helsingborg to Helsingör (that's Elsinore, home of Hamlet's castle, for all you Shakespeare buffs) with our backpacks, went up to the sun deck, sat down and started eating the sandwiches we'd bought. So far so good. Then there was this bloody wasp buzzing around. I waited for it to land on the table and swatted it with a napkin. Got him. Or did I? Nope. There was a bit of a gap between my fingers, and the little bugger crawle... | | By: Mark Base - Helsingblog | | |

Montreal and Riga will take the place of the highly-sought Boardwalk and Park Place properties.

| The Montreal real-estate market | | 2008-06-01 05:24:00 | | Montreal real-estate market is coming in for a smooth landing this year and next with a moderate slowdown in both resale and new construction activity, the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corp. said yesterday.CMHC predicts fewer resale transactions in the greater Montreal region in 2008 and 2009 compared with record levels in 2007. But sellers will remain firmly in the driver's seat and prices will rise. Condominiums will be the only segment where the number of transactions are expected to remain stable as buyers seek affordable accommodation.In the residential construction sector, housing starts are expected to fall but remain at historically strong rates.

| | Old Montreal Trip | | 2008-05-23 08:28:34 | | This is about my last trip to Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It was a tour i booked from my tour operator in Malaysia. This tour operator was such a nut that he delayed my Visa and flight twice. It was so frustrating for me that i canceled all my contracts with him and I headed to Montreal on my own. I booked a Flight on Delta Flights and landed in Canada with Visas and immigration all arranged on my own.I planned to stay in old Montreal and booked my hotel on the recommendation of my cab driver. This guy was also a nice chap and was from India, as normally Indians are this guy too was a helping kind. He took me to a Montreal Hotel named Delta Centreville. This hotel is the best in New modern Montreal and is a best placed hotel close to Old Montreal where you can walk centuries old cobblestone streets yet vibrant nightlife, boutique shops and eclectic cuisine.It good to have a walk on the streets of Montreal as it is the best way of knowing the culture of the place. You can walk or ta... | | By: IBIBO | | |
| | Areas north of Montreal seeing incredible residential boom | | 2008-04-24 17:50:00 | | In 2006, when Manouk Alexanian decided to buy a condo, he quickly found himself priced out of Montreal."I looked around the downtown area for condos and the prices were high, sizes were small and the taxes were high as well," said the 29-year-old consultant. "But since my job is in downtown, I needed a fast way to get there."Rather than sacrifice space or convenience, Alexanian began to look north, in Laval, where prices were lower and a newly-extended métro line was set to open. After less than two weeks, he found a 900-square-foot apartment for $120,000, about two blocks from the de la Concorde métro, one of the three new métro stations that opened last year.

| | Destination: Montreal | | 2008-04-06 20:10:00 | | Montreal, or Montréal in French, (pronounced /ˌmɒ̃ʀeˈal/ in Quebec French, pronounced /ˌmʌntriːˈɑːl/ in Canadian English, and /ˌmɔ̃ʀeˈal/ in European French) was the largest city in Canada up until the 70's and is now the second-largest city in Canada and the largest city in the province of Quebec. Originally called Ville-Marie ('City of Mary'), some historians think the city takes its present name from the Mont Réal (as it was pronounced in Middle French, or Mont Royal / Mount Royal in present French), the three-head hill at the heart of the city, whose name was also initially given to the island on which the city is located.The official language of Montreal is French as defined by the city's charter. It is among the five largest French-speaking cities in the world. As of the 2006 Canadian Census, 1,620,693 people resided in the city of Montreal proper. The population of the Montreal Census Metropolitan Area (also known as Greater Montreal Area) was 3,635,571 at the ... | | By: Exotic Destinations | | |

| | Montreal Real Estate | | 2008-02-28 00:18:00 | | Montreal continues to be beaten - badly - by the off-island suburbs. Young families and many of the most promising would-be taxpayers are hauling their stuff off island. The reason is simple. You can save a lot of money by living out there where the air is fresh and parking is never an issue.The average cost for a condo in Montreal last year was $241,000 while it was $175,000 in Laval. The average on-island home was $357,000, compared to $236,000 in Laval. The numbers were similar in the other off-island suburbs.

| | Weather Forecast: Breezy In Montreal Next Season | | 2007-07-29 09:21:05 | | Patrice BriseboisFinally, some actual Avalanche-related news. It seems the long-standing give-and-take relationship between the Montreal Canadiens and the Colorado Avalanche (see: Patrick Roy, Jose Theodore, David Aebischer, Jocelyn Thibault, Mike Keane, Martin Rucinsky, etc...) has been renewed, kind of. The Habs have offered defenseman Patrice Brisebois a one-year, $700,000 contract to rejoin the team he won the Cup with back in 1993. Avalanche management had made it pretty clear that he wasn't going to get another offer from them after spending most of last season sidelined with a back injury. Well, sidelined from hockey. He found another hobby to keep himself occupied while still drawing a nice NHL paycheck. I can't say too much about Breezer's stay with the Avs since he didn't do too much while he was in Colorado---he only played one full season and his performance was so-so. He's more or less at the end of his career anyway, and will likely not pla... | | By: Mile High Hockey | | |
| | Tuesday, July 24th, 2007: Helsingborg to Montreal. And back. And tagged. | | 2007-07-21 06:36:00 | | What I think:Blog! Oh yeah, I knew there was something I was supposed to do when I got back.Oh dear, It's now been over a month since my last entry. My apologies.I've also been tagged to do yet another one these "things about myself" things. I was tagged by Aaron Cook. I've known Aaron, in the modern never-met-but-paths-seemed-to-have-crossed-over-the-Internet-a-few-times kind of way, for about four years or so.Do check his list of "8 Random Facts". Here's a guy whose tongue detects things in foods that the average tongue cannot. Blessing or curse? You decide.Since I've got a lot of other stuff to catch up on, I thought I'd kill two blogs with one stone just throw in my tag duties at random throughout this entry. For those of you who just want to read those bits, I'll point them out and mark them in bold. OK?First things first; here are "The Rules" of the tag:1. Post these rules before you give you the facts.2. List eight (8) random facts about yourself.3. At the end of your post, choose (tag) eight people and list their names (linking to them).4. Leave them a comment on their blog letting them know they've been tagged.There. Now, on to some stuff about the trip.About the weather:From what we've heard and seen about the weather here in Sweden while we were away, and indeed about the weather throughout western Europe for those two weeks, we definitely left the continent at the right time. While torrential rains drenched many parts around here at the end of June and begining of July, the weather in Montreal was generally really nice, with few exceptions (more on that later).The journey:We took the ferry to Denmark, the train to Copenhagen, and flew to London. We went to the pub, hung out, had a few drinks (too many, in my case), participated in the pub quiz, and crashed out at a friend's place. Jacqui's great; just get her some cheap fags (US/CAN: cigarettes), and the spare room's yours. It helps if you know her though. Early the next morning, we took the ... | | By: Mark Base - Helsingblog | | |

| | Videos - Accidente de Robert Kubica en Montreal | | 2007-06-11 23:42:25 | |
Del último Gran Premio de Montreal se pueden destacar varias cosas. La primera de ellas, es la confirmación de Hamilton como un piloto a tener realmente en cuenta de cara a disputarle el título al campeón asturiano. En este momento es líder y le saca 8 puntos a Fernando Alonso. No se a hecho esperar la reacción de la prensa inglesa que ya esta encumbrando a su nuevo ídolo, y apuntando su mira hacia Alonso, del cual dicen que no aguantó la presión.
Sin embargo lo que más me llamó la atención del Gran Premio de Montreal fue el espectacular accidente que sufrió el también joven piloto (22 años) de BMW Robert Kubica, que tras chocar a 280km/h contra un muro, dar varias vueltas de campana, y que el monoplaza quedara hecho añicos, la única lesión que sufrió, afortunadamente, fue un esguince de tobillo, lo que me confirma que los Fórmula 1 no sólo son los vehículos más avanzados tecnológicamente para lograr el mejor comportamiento en circuito, sino que también dispon... | | By: Coches 2.0 | | |
