Today is the last day! Voting will be open until midnight (New York time) on Sunday. Have you made your guess?
Housekeeping: I’m traveling right now…somewhere. Each day for five days I’ll give you a clue about the location and you can post your guess in the comments. I’ll donate $1 for each person who posts a guess, up to $100. The first person to guess correctly will be able to choose from one of four charities listed below. To keep things on the up and up, please only post one guess per day. All comments will be pending approval so everyone can get a fair shake. I’ll post all the comments at the end of the contest. (If you’re one of the few people who actually knows my destination, shhh!)
Happy guessing! I’ll see you all back here when I return.
This city is officially bilingual.

Montreal?
Possibly not London… Shame 🙂
Hope you’re having a great time!
I still think that it’s Montreal but according to this source, its sole official language – in contrast to other areas of Canada – is French: http://www.livingin-canada.com/living-in-montreal.html
Montreal. Though don’t tell the French they are bilingual, as they are not entirely pleased about the bilingual status. If you are in Montreal, please say hello to my family. We’re all over the map.
I’m sorry, I missed the other clues, but I’ll guess Quebec?
Peut-être que je vais rester avec Quebec…
(P.S. that’s all Google Translate, of course… I have no clue…)
