Another one of the many stark differences between a city like Montréal and the Prairies, is the nightlife. Not simply the selection of bars, nightclubs, and different social scenes, but partying in general. Walking out of a bar in Saskatoon at 3am (if it stays open until then) you'll see fairly deserted streets, cabs, and drunk people talking and trying to find their way home. There are after parties, but they are just people who aren't finished, partying in a hotel or their appartment. Here, walking out at 3am, you don't even realize it's 3am. Restaurants and many places are still open, people everywhere; people are just simply changing locations. Our change brought us to a Chinese man serving chow mein from a window of a tiny restaurant in the back. He had a pot of chow mein noodles, a pot of peanut butter sauce, and a pot of spring rolls. 3,50$ got you a bowl with 2 spring rolls. It was amazing and there was a line of people down the street.
Starting with 7 ecclectic awesome people and finishing with about 3 at about 4am, which was still early for the Montrealers in the group, it was an interesting night. Since then, today has been a very relaxing day reading up on the terrasse and sipping a fabulous chai latte at a café. I love this lifestyle.
