$100 Taxi Ride: Bilbao/Montreal

In this episode our driver Juan Carlos (not the reigning Spanish King), shows us Casco Viejo, or old town, a rare and funky hanging bridge which ferries passengers every six minutes, and the city's most popular attraction the -Museo Guggenheim.Completed in 1997, architect Frank Gehry's

magnificent creation is either bold, beautiful, metallic or monstrous, depending on your viewpoint. Not only does the Guggenheim attract tourists worldwide, it has also triggered a renaissance of Basque art and culture. To complete the trip, we experience Jai-Alai, the fastest ball sport in the world, watch some dancers celebrate a monsoon, and sample pintxos a delicious Basque snack. Next we're off to Montreal which is the second largest French-speaking city in the world. Here we visit St. Joseph's Oratory with our driver Andrij, where many faithful climb the stairs on their knees. We sample gooey concoctions from beaver tails and learn their meat is also a delicacy.
