When I came to Montréal 18 years ago, everybody seemed extraordinarily, even obsequiously polite compared to people back in Ukraine. And now that I come to Montréal from the American Midwest, everybody seems rude and grumpy.

In Montréal, everybody is dressed a lot nicer and people are a lot less happy to see babies. But everybody is very understanding towards people with accents because there isn’t anybody without an accent.

What everybody calls “intolerable heat” here in Montréal is a cool breeze back in St Louis.

I thought you stopped speaking French because people made fun of your accent? Are they more understanding now?

No, I’m not even trying French. French speakers get to be very accepting of my accent in English because theirs is much worse. 😆😆😆
