Personal spending habits
To eat in a correct way the good food is rather dear in Canada, on the other hand the coC of the night life as well as that of apartment is less important. The journeys cost more expensive because we travel much more than in France.

The best thing in Montreal are the micro-breweries (l'Amère à boire, le cheval blanc...) excellent beer and cheap food. Also many very interseting bars on the St-Denis and Mont-Royal streets (good music and special ambiances)
