And late night Madrid is wonderful. Just be careful of the drivers!

Shopping would have to be Italy, no? Especially if we are talking clothes. I've never met a badly dressed Italian!
Imagine, if you could choose a country to be in at anytime of day, or for any purpose.
I'd have breakfast in Paris
Work in Sydney
Lunch in NewYork
Work in London
Dinner in California
Late night in Madrid
I can't decide where I'd shop or 'escape' to, at weekends. Where's the best place for shopping in the world? Not Germany, of that I am certain.
Oh yes, those evil, sneaky Canadians trying to pull one over on us 'Muricans!
Here's a direct link to the survey... Cutting out that wily CBC middle man for you :lol:

~n/t~, we are thinking of making Montreal our next family vacation, either driving up or coming via train. I've always wanted to go, but never thought of going with kids help, so give me a quick and dirty rundown of stuff for two teens (boy and girl) and two little guys (7 and 9). Also trying to decide whether to come in winter (kids and DH are all skiers/boarders) or in summer (less weather hassle if we come in late summer).
Well.....I was born in Vancouver and still live here. I think it's very beautiful. Not many places you can go where you have a beach in the City and can look at the snow capped mountains. Yesterday with the sun shining those mountains were glistening.
Not so sure I like where the City is going with the socialist mayor. We have a huge homeless problem and supervised injection sites set up for the drug addicts to go and shoot up. The mayor is more concerned about putting bicycle lanes in and taking out car lanes which adds to our already congested traffic problem.
And it's very expensive to live in the City. A decent 1 bedroom, one bathroom 350 sq ft condo with no view will cost you around $200,000. A parking space is extra.
The price of gasoline here is the highest in North America. We are taxed, taxed and taxed.
