Walking Shoes

Living in the city has giving me the chance to experience a taste of what living the life of a celebrity might feel like. Last week I went to the trendy nightclub Tribe, where many celebrities ranging from Paris Hilton to Rihanna have made appearances. That night Sebastian Ingrosso from Sweden was the featured DJ and he put on quiet the show! The lights, fog horn, and confetti (not to mention the great house music) all made for an entertaining show.

Now that’ it’s April the school year is winding down and so is my bank account. I’ve had to be really careful about budgeting and I must say, I’m quiet proud of myself for being such a good shopper! When I first came to Montreal I was spending upwards of $50 a week on groceries. Now I’ve managed to cut back on average to about $30. After very much exploring and wandering on random streets I’ve found little ma and pop stores that specialize in certain foods which cost a fraction of what you would find in the big supermarkets.

A general rule of thumb I’ve learned about living in a city: the more you’re willing to walk, the more you’re going to find! Sounds simple but being a routine person I would normally tend to walk the same way to school and pass the same stores day after day. Especially now that it’s warmer I am more likely to go out of my way to get somewhere just so I could pass down a street I’ve never been down before. You can’t fall into a routine when you live in a city, if you do you’ll miss out on a huge part of the city.

So once you’ve applied for the Montreal campus, I suggest buying a good pair of walking shoes so you can experience the city to its fullest!
