I''m sure everyone here knows my love for New York. I have loved it/wanted to live there since I was a teenager. I live in Boston which, lately to me, does not have anything to offer anymore. I''ve outgrown it, most of the good rock clubs are gone, everything being built is high-end, luxury condos and apartments that no one but the rich suburbanites can afford. I could not survive living on my own here; it''s so expensive. I realize that NYC is crazy expensive too, but at least you get everything at your front door- roughly a 10 minute walk, subway ride or cab ride to whatever you want to to.
This said, I''m considering my other favorite city which is Montreal. In the million times I''ve been there I''m thinking it''s an option to move to, since it''s comparatively more affordable than Boston. I know some Quebecios that weren''t raised speaking French, some don''t even know it now, so I''m thinking I could survive just speaking English? (at least for a while until I learn it enough to be conversational) I have learned some French simply by visiting, picking up more and more.
So, how difficult would it be for me to move to Canada? What would be the biggest challenges that I would have in that city? Is it a good idea? Really exoensive process? I''m stuck here after the wedding at least until next summer or so, but I want out of Mass. so badly. I have been doing some research, but with the wedding planning I can''t devote more time to it, so I figured what better than to ask the folks who live there and can give me the real scoop.
