Yes I Was Travelling.
I'm currently listening to this orchestral but hilarious History of Canada on CBC Radio One. Radio Two will be playing the program again.

I went to Montreal this weekend, but it was a bit too hectic to do much. So you'll have to forgive me if I haven't called anyone nor posted. On the other hand, I witnessed PJ getting a nice suit. Finally!!! (We'll have pictures up when he comes by later next week.)
I'll have to take back that "Worst Onramp 3V4R" on the Quebec map that I commented on. I haven't driven very much throughout this city, just up to
But I decided after having sufficient experience, I was ready to tackle the disgusting roadways of Quebec near the bridges. My mum had warned me that it was kind of crappy.
For the first time driving by myself, I actually thought I was going to die. There are stop signs on the onramps. Mysteriously appearing onramps. LOTS of mysteriously appearing onramps. And then a really weird curve in the road. With an onramp on both sides mysteriously appearing. LOOK.
If the highways look like spaghetti to you, that should explain why Quebec drivers are completely insane.

Don't die!
I love driving in QC there's NO traffic!!! and you kind of feel like you're on a race course... especially that really curvy ramp going towards the bridge!
btw, there's a mistake on that map, it says the 175 is Boul. Laurier... Still love driving in QC, people aren't as crazy/stupid as they are here in mtl.
Google Maps are still subject to errors, despite how much we love them.
I'm certain you prefer driving in QC more than in Mtl because people in Mtl are completely insane. There's a million people on a small patch of land and everyone's on the road at the same time. Some people are bound to explode.
On the other hand, QC has no excuse except that people hate funeral processions.
