    Montreal, Canada

    Ok, not sure if this is the right forum but here goes.

    Anyone on the boards live up there? Why you ask. Well for the next 10 weeks or so I will be up there working on weekends and I'd like to know what I should expect. Any help my northern neighbors would be appreciated. Like what's the weather like? How cold I should say. Cost of gas, smokes, beers ya know stuff like that.

    I also need to know how much a US dollar is ya know the exchange rate stuff like that. what's the diffrence between celcious and ferenhiet?

    Also anything up there to do since I will only be working about 5 hours a day,

    I lived in Ontario for a long time and been into Quebec once or twice. Everyone will speak french until you ask english then almost all speak it well. The signs will be in both english and french. American dollar is worth about 1.16 canadian. Just know that 0 is 32 degrees haha (lot easier to remember than 32). Easy way to convert Celsius to Farenheit is start by multiplying the Celsius temperature by 9.
    Divide that answer by 5. Then add 32. So If its 5 Degrees Celsius
    5x9=45
    45/5=9
    9+32=41

    well my grandfather just went to canada over thanksgiving. It cost him almost $3.00 a gallon for gas. Down here its only $1.98... That should give you some kind of idea what to expect in canada.

    thanks guys... I'm looking forward to the trip. I'm going to be working outside so I guess I need to dress extra warm. I'm gonna take the digital camera with me so if I find anything of intrest I'll snap some shots and post them up.

    According to mapquest it's about a 6 1/2 trip one way so it ain't gonna be that bad.

    I've been up to niagra falls a couple times but never crossed the boarder. Do they hassle you when you cross? do they go through all your belongings and search the car... stuff like that?

    Easiest celsius to Fahrenheit conversion is double the C temp and add 30 to ge the F, temp.
    Ex.: 10C x 2 is 20. Add 31 and you get 51 deg. F.

    Close enough coversion table!

    And don't even think about bringing guns in!

    thanks for all the info guys. Any thing else anyone can add would be appreciated. I'll be leaving very early friday morning so I'll be around a couple more hours.

    Does anyone know of any points of intrest or attractions in or around montreal? Where's that tiger museum in canada some folks were talkin bout a while back?
