So, I have now lived in Montéal for exactly one year and three hours.
What can I say about it? I love it here, it's beautiful, I'm pretty happy and in the course of one year I have become functional (though certainly not fluent) in written and oral French.
Also, I've re-written my novel over the past year, and it's literally DAYS away from completion. Or, like, two weeks, maybe.
I miss Winnipeg, I miss all my friends from there, and my family, and I miss the stability of "real" jobs (not to mention the paychecks).
But one year in, I'm still convinced that this was the right decision, and the right time.

Btw, January was one of the most productive months this blog has seen in the last 2.5 years.

Oh snap!
I think you made a great decision. A lot of my favorite people have moved there recently.
You've gotta try living in Montreal at least once! Hear that c-dog?
For a place with so many people it can be a lonely place for a newcomer. I commend you my friend! Stick it out!
power to the exiles
