Moncton is a sprawl with not very big population - I was living in Southampton, Moncton/Riverveiw/Dieppe is about half the population but covers twice the area!! It does not seem to have any slums here - Saint John is a dump though!! - reminds me of Portsmouth!! (Im from Stoke originally so I feel qualified to comment)

There seems to be most things that you could want here in the way of shops, restaurants and general entertainment. Not had chance to sample the local Indians yet but there seems to be plenty of chinese to choose from.

The people seem easy to get on with and have been helpfull so far, made a couple of mates in the pub, got invited to to the hockey last night.

The only real negetive so far is the beer is really expensive!!! 7 bucks a pint? ouch
