PISSED OFF!


So today is due rent day! And at my fabulous new place rent is cash only ( kind of scared to know why), so i'm heading out to get cash with my Visa card and since i've already leaned that my visa is not accepted in ANY ATM machines here, I go to the closest Bank, which is already a good 10 minutes walk! And guess what? My card doesn't work there either!!!How crazy is that! So i end up at the ONE bank that will accept my Visa card but it's pretty far from my house. I can't rap my head around the idea that whenever i'm gonna need cash it's gonna take me a 20 minutes power walk to get it!
It's IN-SANE!
the small silver lining of that experience: i got to walk past those really typical Montreal houses that kind of rock!

Back to the streets were i began


It took me 14 days after landing in Montreal to get back to NYC!
(still too long if you ask me!)
And now i'm back in Canada after a 22 hours round trip,
4 nights in the city, 2 amazing diners in East Village,
a few crazy long walks, a trip to Brooklyn Bridge,
a full day of shopping, wayyyyy too many calories,
some long overdue conversations with amazing friends,
an evening at my fav place in the whole world,
a never to be forgotten encounter with a German stud
and i even managed to squeeze in a sailing trip!
CAN'T WAIT TO COME BACK

Installation over!


Okay! so it took me a while but it's finally done.
Here is my new room now furnished with lights and pillows
(thanks to a gruesome trip to Ikea!)
the pictures are up,
And i must say i'm pretty happy with the result
Hopefully this will be a happy place
right now it feels like a stand-bye place
pretty comfy though...;)

wishing you were here


It's officially been a week!
And to summarize i never expected this departure to be so hard: saying goodbye was the worst (as some may have noticed)
But i also never expected half of what i've already discovered here: it's good to be away from all the Parisian disappointments, pains & heartaches...I've seen architectures i never had before, met fascinating new people, enjoyed lunches in the sun, walked for miles to nowhere...Away from my sorrows, my spirits are slowly rising.

i just...WISH YOU WERE HERE

guess what i did this afternoon?


THE GAME....(well of the day at least)
thanks to JustinTV i've been able to follow live Racing-Montauban
can't really say it was the game of the season, at least not for the Racingmen
(but Jerome (cap today) was amazing as always ;) )
Ohh and because it was a little early for beer (well actually that's a bad excuse but the only one i got for u) i had cupcake instead! VERY different but a surprisingly nice combo

In tourist mode


first day without any apartment visits
So this morning I put on my best walking shoes and went to Old Montreal and back
(a roughly 3hours promenade).
The weather was amazing,(who ever said Montreal was cold this time of the year)
it was lovely to be walking around, lots to see...and the more I see the more I get the feeling Canadians don't take themselves too seriously (i.e this picture)
I got back around 2.30pm just in time for...
