<\/a><\/p>\nWe were underway quite early, so there were still some school busses underway \u2013 of course in the traditional north American yellow.<\/p>\n We had some time to spare before the tour would begin, so I looked at some of the buildings at the port. As I would later learn on the tour, these are actually the back sides of the buildings, with the \u201cprettier\u201d front sides facing inland.<\/p>\n We also crossed a seemingly uninteresting railway \u2013 which I later learned was actually the trans-Canadian railway which goes all the way from the west to the far east of the country.<\/p>\n Still having some time before the tour began, I set out to take some pictures of the architecture of Montreal, including a very interesting apartment block, the biodome and the port.<\/p>\n The trip was quite nice, very informative yet very relaxed. And there were a few good photo opportunities.<\/p>\n To finish the day, I visited the Mont Royal \u2013 a region of Montreal where \u201cartists and hipsters\u201d make up the majority of the population. Accordingly, it is a very comfortable and trendy region and probably the part of Montreal I would feel most comfortable living in.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
