Montreal Experiences and Lifestyle

Walking in Montreal

I have been living in Montreal for almost one year. When I first came here everything was quite exciting. I was aware of every little difference related to my hometown or other places where I used to live.

In the meantime, I got used to this city. My perception is less focused: things that I first considered weird are part of my normal/daily life have faded from my perceptions. Getting used to something new is a pretty fast process. In order to avoid forgetting my first perceptions I am in the process of starting a documentation project.

Things in my new city that I still consider unusual will be revealed through my subjective perspective. Basically, I will publish a series of articles about social and physical dimensions of this city containing images and texts.

The following articles are part of the project:
