Oh you lucky girl! I couldn't believe the selection of fabric available. Some of the shops reminded me of chinatown shops everything stacked as high as possible. First time I bought fabric by the pound very interesting. I didn't get rid of my stash before I went so I couldn't buy much. I can hardly wait till next year so I can go again and this time I'm going to make sure I have lots of room. The fabric district is between St. Laurent and avenue du parc about 7700 to 9200. Try this link for some cheap ideas?? http://www.montrealmirror.com/ARCHIVES/2002/assg/assg5.html While I was there the university had a book sale but it was total chaos. We were lucky and got a three day pass that covered all our metro plus museums. Because we were going to be there several weeks I also got an Entertainment coupon book so we could try lots of different restaurants cheap. I got several pamphlets from Quebec tourism including maps and places to shop etc. these are free for the asking. When planning I usually contact the tourism or commerce of the town or area. They usually have great coupons for attractions and other info like the metro/museum passes. The museum pass I think got you into 21 or more museums for free but were only for sale for a short time. I couldn't believe how many restaurants just sold hot dogs some as cheap as 3/$100. Take out lunch isn't chinese or pizza it's hot dogs. Edith
