if there's one problem with montreal in the summertime it's this
oh my god are you feeling that youtube
would you believe me if i told you this was a beautiful summer day about 30 minutes ago
these storms just come out of nowhere here
and you know what give it 30 more minutes it might be a beautiful summer day again
you just never know in montreal it's the one rough thing about summer in this city honestly
when the sun is out it's beautiful but when that rain starts to come you can try checking the
forecast but honestly half the time it's wrong it's funny my mom lives in winnipeg and i guess
she's always checking them on shaw weather you know checking up on her son as moms like to do
she always tells me like boy it rains a lot in montreal doesn't it because when you check the
forecast it just says rain every single day but in reality it's not vancouver it's not a place
that rains every single day it's just a place where on any given humid hot summer day
you might get an hour or half an hour of like hard rain and you got to be prepared for it now luckily
if you're downtown there's an easy solution you just hop into the montreal underground like this
thank you welcome
the montreal underground is basically this huge underground connected
tunnels and shops and passageways i low-key don't think anyone actually understands how
it works even people who have lived their whole lives in the city it connects you to food courts
connects you to the metro it's it's pretty useful now this part is particularly classy we got the
random shoes that people like taking pictures with we got chandeliers in the food court
here you can get a look at wear it hey those girls kind of distracted me i don't know what to say now
um i guess that's what happens when you film in an underground mall but you can
get a sense of just how big it is and some of the cool architecture you get down here
yeah youtube what's up bro
i guess i gotta film more often in the shopping mall man this place is an adventure i'll tell you
people are just excited to be out of the rain they're jumping for joy to be in a video today
honestly the only problem is finding a way out of this place sometimes you see tourists with lost
looks on their faces they don't know what level they're on they don't know which way they're going
legend goes some people find their way in here they never find their way out
be careful it could happen to you luckily i found my way out
let's take a little walk down st catherine street i haven't filmed here in a while
and even on a rainy day i bet there's going to be some vibes on the street
it takes more than a bit of rain to stop summertime in montreal
i just stepped off saint catherine's onto stanley street to show you something
this building is the first place i ever lived in montreal yeah i was in one of those rooms up
there i was only there for a couple months you know i was renting from this chinese student
who uh you know he was doing like a two month sub lease kind of thing
it was just like welcome to the big city here you go for anyone who's thinking about living downtown
i would say it has its pros and cons if you're someone who likes that big city feel of life
uh you know that's good but if you're someone who wants to like have parks somewhere to breathe it
was too much for me i don't think i could live here anymore but you know it does have its good
sides too like you got all these restaurants and coffee shops right at your doorstep
you cannot beat the convenience of downtown it's just sometimes you want some peace and
quiet and peace and quiet in downtown montreal do not go together that's what downtown ottawa is for
i gotta get inside the rain is really coming
down again this is going to mess with my camera for sure
oh my god
see that youtube that's what i'm talking about right there
yeah you guys thought i was lying about the rain i wasn't lying
i guess i lied when i said the rain couldn't stop the vibe this definitely stopped the vibe
so to escape the rain i just stepped into this restaurant called duns
uh it was funny as i was stepping in these guys saw me with my i was using my cell phone not my
camera at the time because uh the rain was coming down so hard they were like are you with the feds
or something they thought it was like filming like i don't know what they thought i was doing but uh
no i'm making a video and i'm talking about duns but uh that's me bro oh [ __ ] you got
168 yeah i make videos around montreal i've been doing it for like five years six years
yeah yeah yeah the nature the new travel the neutron but yeah that place done i always like
it in there it's got this old-timey diner feel and it's been around for you know almost 100
years that's why it has the feel that it does anyway i'm now back just about where we started
the video today actually this is dorchester square nice little park in downtown montreal
just across from here is peel street which is full of pubs
pretty lively place at night but yeah after the chaos of the rain and all that stuff
it's kind of nice to show a chill little part to end today's video and just on the other side of
the park is rene levesque boulevard i actually made a video here walking down the street
about a year ago it was called living in montreal changed how i see canada not sure if you guys have
seen that one i never know when i'm making these videos who's seen my old videos and who's new here
but if you are new here i'm dan i've been making videos in this city for about three years now
i like making neighborhood tours and guides to show newcomers what the city is all about
but i'd also like to dig deeper you know i want to get into some of the subcultures
of montreal i want to show some things that uh only locals know about so if you have a
cool idea for a video you can always reach out yeah as always i'm just happy to have you guys
