A flash from Montreal

AY AY AY not much to tell abut these days. Just enjoying the city as the locals do: walking around, doing some shopping here and there, meeting friens, catching up with each others lives, eating in nice places, stopping here and there in little cafes to read some book or simply contemplate life.

Just nice.

Here you are some images to illustrate my days here in Montreal.

Blue Sky: Montreal welcomed me with a crispy blue sky, sunny and relatively warm weather. Funny enough, the city I just left – Chicago – is attacked by the wind and splashed with rain. (Sorry Tuchi & Jose!)

Temporary address: Thanks Laura & Sofiane for your hospitality and congratulations on your pretty cozy home!

Crepes: God intended food to look and taste like that. Then people started experimenting and things like fish and chips happened to humankind. Simply atrocious! Just lk at this: isn’t it a masterpiece!?
Fod: Crepes

Fondue: another gift from God to us, human beings. There is no way after eating one of these babies you don’t feel satisfied and refined at the same time. Mm. Ou Lala! :)
Food: Fondue

Café in Old Montreal: a cute little corner in Old Montreal where you can ust sit under the sun with your book and your maple café latte and Grand Marnier or Rhum. Simply priceless!

Chinatown: Fine! I needed to feel like “at home” somehow, so I decided to walk around Chinatown. Surprisingly enough, I did not feel like home at all, it did not even resembled me to Beijing at all. Half those Chinese people were talking in French. I was like: “HELLO!? You should be saying things like wo shi bla bla, or wo bu yao bla bla”.
ChinaTown NAH

Favourite Neighbourhood: Le Plateau, Prince Arthur and the corner of Laval. OUTSTANDING, relativey bigger appartments, great area, quite central, green, it gives you the idea you are in Europe somewhere lost between Bruxes and Paris... Simply cool! I could sooo live there anytime.

This is all for now. I hope you enjoyed the view as much as I enjoyed taking these pictures.

Vacations: God intended life to be like this, like you were on vacations everyday.
