I was in Montreal for the past week to attend Unite 2010.

This is the first time that I have traveled to Canada, so add one more country to the list of new countries I have visited this year.

Montreal felt very European to me with its architecture and cobble stone streets. This contrasted greatly with the people who lived there.

I am not used to being so well treated on a company trip. I am used to sharing cheap motels with co-workers as we tested how many we can pile in a single room. For this trip each of us were setup in 4 star hotels in the middle of Old Town Montreal, just a block away from the [Notre-Dame Basilica of

Overall Montreal was a beautiful city with nice people and great food I just wish I didn’t get sick mid-trip and was able to appreciate it more.
