Lover's post-Dakar impressions of Montreal...

A preview of what it is to go back to Montreal after Senegal... Is this what awaits me ?

"I myself seem to have caught a cold. I still have to get used to protecting myself from the winter!

Coming back to montreal was unsettling. I tried the Salamalekum with a black cab driver but was answered by indifference. No negotiation! Everything seems unfamiliar, even tough this is my home town. Can U imagine passing by Montreal sous terrain and its almost infinite number of luxurious stores after having known sandaga? Even my senegalese friend seemed different... all the while I felt like I was morning africa."


Thank you David for sharing.

Ugh, they call it reverse culture shock I think. That's an interesting experience...
