Bill's stag - The First Night

As usual our experienced traveller has outdone himself on arrival, on this occasion he was surprised to learn they speak French in Montreal – he had always thought that the Canadians having French speakers was a bit of a joke to drag in the Francophone tourists.

Having got over the initial shock and dusted off his appalling Franglais however he has settled in quite nicely.

It is apparent however that not all Bill’s friends are quite so relaxed about being in a foreign country, probably the best illustration of this was the call from Milos before he caught his flight from New York to check the phones work “up there”.

The first evening was dedicated to sampling some local fare and a place called “Taco Bull” provided their repast. He went for the Mega Burrito which apparently is traditional Canadian food.

Of course this is a stag and a trip to a den of iniquity is compulsory and the locals supplied a remarkably good version of the usual mix of sin and alcohol. Clearly decorum requires us to skim over the details but the highlight certainly was when a young lady came over to them and asked “excuse me but have you seen a pair of panties like these?” whilst pointing to her bra.

Re: Taco Bull. While I certainly believe we represented ourselves well, we didn't get close to the insanity described at the bottom of this blog post I randomly came across today. Must have been some bet.
