Dirt Cheap - Montreal, Canada

[@TravelingisFREEDOM]

This is such a charming city, I hope I can visit again sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much!

[@chasbruns]

Thanks for watching!

[@RobinMajumdar]

Watching in January 2021... as a lifelong Montrealer, you did a pretty nice job of capturing much of what is Montreal ... our city will come back to life! Thanks!

[@chasbruns]

Thanks!

[@everydaybrad2773]

Montrealers do things simply for the experience and memories. I'm originally from Montreal and this video makes me miss it so much. Great video!

[@chasbruns]

Love Montreal!

[@nataliatobon1901]

Your video was so helpful now that I’m planning on visiting Montreal this weekend! Thanks a lot.

The guy playing the flute at 11:31 is the same guy that came up to my friends and I when I was in the city lol

[@chasbruns]

Haha. Small world.

[@willowsprite]

You went to the Old port Basilica but there's also a free to enter historic church, Chapelle Notre Dame de Bon Secours, right next to the Bonsecours market. The statue of Mary on its roof faces the waterfront to guide fishermen back to land. And if you timed it right there's a headless ghost that shows up there every 7 years.

[@chasbruns]

thanks for the info!

[@martinbryan137]

you were in Montreal... and you went to THE KEG?!

I'm not gonna lie. It was because Ryan was dying and needed air conditioning and the waitress was cute. Lol.

I don’t use caps much but.. WHERE THE F WAS THE POUTINE??

[@chasbruns]

Too cliche!

[@user-mk5vj5bf3j]

@@chasbruns Nooooo if you go to Montréal you need to get the poutine

[@DevilDaz17]

would be pretty cool to show us in some sepparate video how you planned out all this stuff, so we can have the same fun for the same price on our own travels.

[@chasbruns]

Thanks for the comment, but we don't actually plan anything out. We feel that is what makes the show unique. We literally just show up to a location and start filming and walking around. Some days we find cool stuff to do and others not so much, but it usually works out for the best. For instance, Village au Pied-du-Courant we only found out about because we saw a flier at the hostel for it and the Trash Bar and Arcade Bar we literally just randomly walked into while we were bar hopping. I used to work on a lot of well known television shows and my least favorite part about working on the them were the all the meetings and pre-prep and scouting, etc., etc. I mean, if you're shooting a 100 million dollar film with Brad Pitt, then yes, storyboard it, scout locations, etc. But if you're shooting reality, just let it be reality. People can tell when something is faked or scripted. I say just buy your ticket and see what happens. Good luck! ( :

[@ahmedelsheikh1987]

Tripadvisor could also be a good option.

[@DevilDaz17]

Never thought of it in that kinda way. I always planned out all of my travels. Thanks for the advice!

[@mariposapapillon9261]

I totally agree w/Chas. My first trip to Montreal, I planned (or tried to plan) my itinerary. Sure, I had a good time, because, hey, it's Montreal after all. But the second time I visited Montreal, the only thing I planned was my accommodations because, well, Canadian Customs wants to know where you're staying. All activities, though, were spontaneous. Fliers definitely were key (festivals, fairs, park concerts, food events), as were cool locals who were, like, "We're going [fill in event here]. You want to come?" The third time in Montreal, I made lifelong friends there, and they're so open and tolerant (in so many ways) that it's liberating. So, maybe I'm Montreal-biased or Quebec-biased, but I could *feel* or sense the impromptu/spontaneous energy of Chas' video. That's what I love about Chas' videos -- as well as his voice-over and humor, and direction and budget tracking throughout, and ...

What kind of camera? Is it intended to look like a vintage camcorder footage from the 90s? First time I see a KZbinr with that particular style so it's interesting. Sorry if you explained that earlier in another video, thanks

Not sure for the price to be U.S dollars because the exchange rate keeps changing.

[@chasbruns]

Yeah, sadly, there's not much we can do about the currency fluctuations. This episode was filmed last summer.

[@9grand]

Chas Bruns . this is why to give the price in the local currency (more stable) will be better! And you may not know ,but many of the viewers are not from the U.S!

[@chasbruns]

I hear you and I know it's annoying! 90% of my viewers are located in the US, that is why we use the US currency for the show. This might be of some help though. Go to this website and use it to convert any currency you want: www.xe.com/currencyconverter/

@@chasbruns Its a very old Cockney rhyming slang, means prostitute :) They are all very funny. Dog bone - telephone, so dog means phone. Plates of meat - feet. "He knocked me off me plates, mate". I was at a football game in London (Millwall) and the croud was singing to the opposition manager that his mum is a brass. I googled it to find out that Brass door rhymes with a whore, therefore brass means whore. lol

$81 for a room is not dirt cheap 🙂

Sadly, we can only show the cheapest option available wherever we go. That was the cheapest hostel room available in Montreal on that night. That is also why we showed camping as a cheaper option.

Airbnb and get a place for $40 a night lol

Yes, sometimes we do feature Airbnb, but that night the cheapest Airbnb was $150, so we decided to go with the $81 hostel instead.

Loves animals, but eat their flesh. Nice dude but also a hypocrite.

[@chasbruns]

Yeah, I go back and forth on it. I was vegan for the past few months and then out of nowhere I've been eating meat like every meal all summer (and I gained 10 pounds by the way). I just need to be more disciplined. Plus, I just love chicken nuggets, lol. But you're right. We should all stop eating animal products. Not only is it cruel to the animal, but it's awful for us. I just wish someone would find a way to make fake chicken that actually TASTES LIKE CHICKEN! I did have a veggie burger recently called the "Impossible Burger" and I honestly couldn't tell the difference. It tasted like real meat. So we're headed in the right direction! I bet by 2077 no one will eat meat anymore. It will be too expensive to produce, too unhealthy to eat and too cruel to allow it to continue. Fingers crossed!
