Last weekend we had a
friendship soccer game between  Montreal and Ottawa’s team. Please
click here for the pictures. This year, again  Montreal lost
from Ottawa.
But the Montrealers stayed cool and, as always, became a very good host by
serving such a delicious lunch for all players and supporters. I noticed that
the two communities are so different that even though this annual match has
always been meant to bring the two communities closer together, I don’t think
it will ever happen. Looking at how they behave, the Ottawa community somehow
reminds me of the Indonesian elite community, whereas the Montrealers more
represent the working class community, although most of the Montrealers are bachelor,
master, or PhD students; skilled engineers who work in aeronautics; they are
humble and cheerful. Maybe I am too judgmental here, but all I can say is that
I am glad that I spend my 1-year fellowship in Montreal,
not anywhere else in  Canada. Although the country is extremely cold, but you can definitely feel the warmth
of Montrealers’ hearts.

Bravo Montrealers!
