Comment on Ask HN: Anyone moved outside of the US to bootstrap your business?parent

Do you know any U.S. tech types who've made the move up there, and what their experience has been like?

I spent a week in Montréal for the 2001 Yet Another Perl Conference (YAPC) followed by some sightseeing, and while it was sweltering and they had us stuffed in the McGill dorms (no A/C; needed to keep the window open) while Katie Holmes' latest movie was filming night scenes all night long outside (wishing I could close the window), it was still a great week and a wonderful city experience.

I was a bit clueless, and I really owe it to the local Perl community for being gracious enough to put up with me. If any of you are on here, cheers!

Edit: More than a bit, really.
