The Enlightenment made explicit what had long been implicit in the intellectual life of Europe: the belief that rational inquiry leads to objective truth. Even those Enlightenment thinkers who distrusted reason…never relinquished their confidence in rational argument…For the ensuing 200 years, reason retained its position as the arbiter of truth and the foundation of objective knowledge…But reason is now on the retreat, both as an ideal and as a reality. - Roger Scruton, 1999

Now that I have moved to Islington, I can get the bus to work. It felt very lazy to get on the No 56 this morning, until we reached gridlocked Essex Road and I had to get off and walk the remaining 2 miles to work. I was hot, sweaty and an hour late when I arrived at the office.
Public transport in London? Pile of fuck.
I must say I love where I live in Montreal. It takes me 20 mins to get to the downtown area. Buses take a little longer because of construction but I just take one bus and it jets me down to the centre or a metro. I live in a hood called Mile End, which is the fourth district of le plateau mont-royal, which is the number one place to live in Montreal according to the Montreal Mirror, because it`s so trendy yet boheme with all the gaming and film company`s around. Not to mention great wine bars, whiskey bars and reasonably prices restaurants from all over the world. My rent is relatively cheap considering my flat is a big one bedroom haven. The bedroom is the size of my living room in my old Prague flat. I can finally have Tiki parties since I built my awesome Tiki Bar!
I rarely have complaints about the STM in Montreal. Unless someone throws themselves in front of the metro, there are rarely any delays. The buses are slightly delayed due to construction.
Congratulations on finally getting your place ma chérie. Now you have somewhere to bring home all the stray cats that wanna cuddle with you.
It's nice when your breasts don't stick to your chest before you get to work.

"I was not hot and sweaty when I arrived at the office."
May you meet that special someone on the tram who can change this for you.
Thanks, Aud. I've got stories for you about gay men on London buses. I'll tell you when you come over.
Aud have you been on a czech tram? They stink with that bad eastern european BO. I don't think your gonna want to meet anyone on that hot and sweaty tram ride be it in the winter or summer.
