Adjusting... Montreal Day 3

I've just finished day three in Montreal and can say that things are starting to look up. Certainly a bit hectic at first, but I'm figuring things out. I think my god send was meeting up with my friend Alex who is already living up here. I think I was really in need of a friend and being able to hang out with him and some other friends Saterday and Sunday was really good for me. It's hard to not feel alone at first... my roommates weren't helping with that too much but oh well. I'm figuring things out on my own.
I finally found a good place to park my car indefinitely, it's a bit out of the way but cheaper then what I ever paid in Burlington. I figured out that I'm a 10 - 15 minute walk to the closest metro. Figured out how to get to Alex's place and yea finally starting to get a feel for the area.
Coincidentally the sun has started to come out more =) Just as the first day had been gloomy, it seemed like Montreal was trying to make up for it.

Today I was introduced to a regular sunday event called the "Tam Tam" where a bunch of people just bring their drums and other instruments together in this park and play. It seems to be an interesting gathering of people out to just enjoy the day. Nearby there was a group of kids "LARPing" (Live Action Role Play) where they take fake weapons and basically attack eachother. Extremely interesting to watch =)

Well it's late and I feel like I need to sleep so I can be prepared for my first day of work tomorrow!! I starting to find my way here, and am looking forward to finding my way around a new work environment as well. This is enough for now, I'll try to write some more tomorrow.

G'night
