The trip (part IIb of III) - night life in Montreal
Monday, March 13, 2006
Instead of wasting our night away at the hotel, we rushed out to do some shopping. The tour guide didnt do his homework properly, mixed up the closi
ng hours of the retail outlets. They close at 6pm on Saturday. Damn... im all ready for shopping. It's only 8pm and we can't go clubbing that early. So we decided to roam around the popular Saint Catherine's street to take random pictures. Desperately, we literally did our "WINDOW SHOPPING".
I was shocked to know that their so-called nightlife are those R.A nightclub. (check the pic on the right column). Total porno! (im sure GD will enjoy!!) Wonder if i shud go in to immerse into their "nightlife". Fortunately, we are smart
enough to ask one of the locals if they have good clubs or bars around. Jot down a few popular spots but we chose one which was not mentioned to us earlier on. Why? because it's free entry and free drinks till 12am (which turns out to be a bad thing!!!)
Even The Body-shop is called "Le Body Shop". So fun.. everything is in French. Friends told me that people from the Quebec province don't reali like 'Ontarians'. The former is proud of their language and culture. Hmm, the tour is so packed that i dun even have time to witness that.
So why are having free drinks a bad thing?
The 5 of us stepped into the club, hoping to get some hip-hop music. The music they played are so not 'danceable'. One of my frens kept drinking the whole night since we don't have to pay. I guessed a total of 9cups and that's it! She's totally gone. Disturbing other clubbers till they are so irritated and walked away, falling and lying in the middle of dancefloor, knocking down the drinks-machine at the bar and demanding a change of music from the deejay every 5mins. It's kind of hilarious seeing this though but was worried for her at the same time. Bouncer hafta drag her out to prevent further disruption. Swearing and cursing on her wa
y back was expected. Back in the hotel, she locked herself up in toilet for an hr. i was next to shower, only to realize that i can't use the toilet because she did her major bowel business in the bathtub. The whole toilet smells reali bad with 4lumps of "gold" lying in the middle of the tub. went to the lobby to ask the receptionist for help. Despite me lookin so pathetic, they asked me to get another room which is about $120cad! This guy near the counter asked "why do you want to shower so urgently". I explained and he replied "well, i have a nice and clean toilet in the room (eyes scrutinizing me from head to toe)". I would have agreed if not for his threatening look because I'm really desperate to get a shower after spending 2whole days outside. *Well, hope she takes care of herself in future. i don't like the feelin of being drunk.*
Whatever the case, everything was fine by 3am (i have to get up by 6am the next day). All of us pretend nothing has happened the next day. A brand new day ahead! My 1st time seeing a fren in such a scene, my 1st time draggin a drunkard back and my 1st super-duper embarrassing moment with stranger.
