ahhh l'Amerique!

Friday i went on an other apartment hunt....
I can't say it was a total success but i did find THE 2 products i most missed when i was in France: Olay ultra moisturizer and delicious (fattening) Goldfishs
(90 cal for 20g...the pack is 200...and yes it's already empty!!!)
Apartment wise i might have found something but i won't know until tonight...
the roommates still have to decide if i'm right for them
I'm trying not to get to exited but i would really like to move in there...
you'll know more, when i do....

first really weird experience

and this brings us to yesterday:
i had new rooms to visit, so i set out to do that...and around five i was supposed to be at a place, north of Montreal in a neighbourhood called Mile End. When i got to the door, nobody was home, so i waited and within 5 mins more than 10 (no kidding!) Jewish guys wearing long black coats and tall hats walked in or out of the surrounding houses!it was so bizarre...and they had tones of kids, all in uniform, walking quietly around...I didn't stick around long, not really the surrounding i was looking for to settle in...no bars, no shops, no nothing
And after that, i felt hungry, so i stopped at the weird little place by the subway called: la Maison du cheddar! (honestly the cheese tasted like old tire...i don't know what i was expecting....but the waitresses were really nice and the place had to be checked out)

first day in Montreal

So on Wednesday i spent half my time on Craig's list trying to find a place to stay...
by mid-day i had tones of appointments and set out to visit those places.
And by the end of the day i had seen tones of crappy apartments but made 2 new friends: a guy and a girl who have known each other since Art school in London. We instantly hit it of and i might move in with them except the room is tiny, expensive and not furnished....so my mind is still not made up

the beginning

ok let's start by the flight:
AF from Paris CdG to Montreal: so comfy!
Now that i've taken so many low-costs and charters i kind of had forgotten what it's like to be on a "standard" plane: champagne, white wine....nice way to celebrate this crazy leap of faith!
The landing and paperwork (i had to get my working visa at the airport) not so fun!
took more than three hours! and yes that's MORE than to go work in the US...who would have thought!
then there was the bus....and the subway...and then walking (all of that with gigantic suitcase and bags) and finally i got the apartment of the nice people that are letting me stay over until i get my own place

Blog launching!

Ok....so I know it took me slightly longer than promised but i finally got round to creating my very own first blog! Hope you enjoy it!
