As an aside: I don't recognize the Montreal he is talking about at all.
Lived there my entire life, but never really encountered the sorts of interesting people he mentioned at the start. I wonder how much has to do with having contacts through the older Jewish Anglo community as opposed to the newer Pakistani-Canadian Anglo community.
I am envious that he had such awesome experiences at 18. I only had situations like that after I turned 28 and found myself on the other side of the world.
