Montreal
No pix of my Tokyo and Hong Kong trip yet. We haven't even really unpacked. We were in MOntreal this past weekend. The Jazz fest is on until July 9th.
Everytime we go there, I think: wouldn't it be great to move back there again. Fleeting thoughts because Richard would (probably) not get a decent job there because he doesn't speak french. And judging from how much German he picked up while we were living in Basel, I can safely say that he is pretty much unilingual. sigh.
We had a fun time though even though we only spent Sunday evening at the Jazz fest. We had poutine there and a Mexican food stand was selling perfectly ripened and SWEET mangos on a stick, with the skin cut off and the flesh cut into petals for easy eating. OISHI (japanese word for yummy!)
I really miss the good food so we always try to hit some of our usual haunts:
Chao Phraya: http://www.chao-phraya.com
I have to say that this is the best Thai restaurant I have ever eaten in. I am curious to compare their food with the food in Thailand. Maybe next year, we plan a trip to Thailand!!!
Stash: http://www.stashcafe.com/
Delicious Polish food. We were there for lunch on Monday and then we spent the afternoon riding quadricycle and pedal boats in the Old Port.
I am pretty disappointed that we did not make it to Cafe Santropol for lunch: http://www.santropol.com/ Hopefully, next time. Maybe Labour Day weekend.
Boy, I am really starting to feel homesick for Montreal.
