I biked around Quebec many years ago, and really loved QC and Montreal; I want to go back and do the same route fixed. Anyway, I have a tshirt from a poolhall called Le Vertigo. I met some really nice people there, total strangers that I partied with all night. When they had their summer break from school, they drove down to DC to visit and see the sights. While they were here, we drove onto a military installation by accident, passed thru the first gate, then sat in a room for 2 hours while they tried to figure out what to do with a bunch of drunk civilians, two of whom didn't speak English very well.

SOOO my point... have fun being surrounded by nice, friendly people. Bring some of that back to the states with you.
