It is a strange sensation to be in a city in North America that is predominantly Francophone. The difference between French French and Quebec French is totally lost on me, but "Je ne parle pas Français" seemed to serve well. Fortunately the metro (one station of which is depicted to the left) was mostly bilingual, and the officials helpful if not terribly interested. Incidentally, most of the metro stations seem to have been designed in a mix of the Hoch Soviet School and the Palisades Mall styles.
