Well well, it seems our maple syrup and smoked meat are better than Singapore's chili crab. And that our poutine beats their chicken rice...
Hope some people are booking their tickets right now to try our fabulous food!

“I love to travel, but hate to arrive.” – Albert Einstein
OMG, just received the package I sent to myself from Malaysia !!! I AM SO GLAD (was expecting it to get lost in the ocean somewhere between Malaka and Montreal)
Overwhelmed by memories now...
Next Time You're Lost in the Woods
Finding North in the daytime
In the woods you have many options. The stick method is one quick way to find east and west. Jam a stick in the ground and mark the tip of the shadow in the dirt. Wait 10-15 minutes and mark the tip again. A line drawn between those two goes East to West in the northern hemisphere and West to East in the southern hemisphere.

The Day I Walked From Marché Jean-Talon To Chinatown
These are all pictures YiliZ took with her phone camera. Not even sure I'm supposed to post them since...
1) They aren't mine.
2) If she didn't post them on HER blog, does it mean she doesn't want ANYONE to post them?
1) They aren't mine.
2) If she didn't post them on HER blog, does it mean she doesn't want ANYONE to post them?
Hence, I'll just go with the flow and wait for her to sue me...
Conclusions?
Yili and Huilong reminded me of high school. (good and bad)
We saw Coeur de Pirate in a store and she's a shorty like me!
Can't wait to get a job and to shop like there's no tomorrow with Yili in vintage stores.

Festival "Weekend du monde" ou les multiples péripéties pour s'y rendre
Tous les chemins mènent à Rome et toutes les autoroutes mènent à l'île Jean-Drapeau. Après mille détours et des pancartes mal indiquées, on s'est stationné à Saint-Loin-Loin-des-Meumeux dans un endroit obscur. Plus de papier pour imprimer notre reçu de stationnement... APRÈS que Maxou ait glissé sa carte de crédit dans la machine. Sinon, il faisait beau et il y avait de la joie dans l'air!

“The use of traveling is to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are.” – Samuel Johnson

These Guys Are Funny...
Lonely Planet is having a contest and here are some of the rules:
«You can only enter once we'll make confetti out of any extra entries you submit.
Rather than consulting tea leaves, the winner will be selected by a panel of 3 judges, including an independent judge.
The judges' decision is final (so there!) and no correspondence will be entered into, even if you think that sucks. Lady luck has nothing to do with this promotion.
You can't ask us to give the prize to someone else (not that you'd want to!).»

My Current Reads
His goal is to teach bad cookers (me) how to make healthy, yummy and easy meals. I put my trust in you, Jamie, my hero!
Oui Annis! Après l'avoir cherché à travers tous les guesthouses en Asie, je suis finalement tombée dessus à la bibliothèque de Saint-Laurent. Aussi simple que cela :)
À lire absolument
Je l'ai dévoré en 2 jours (quoi que j'ai juste ça à faire)
Voici la vidéo promotionnelle
«The plot bears resemblance to the horrific true events surrounding Austrian Josef Fritzl, who kept his daughter imprisoned in a soundproof bunker in his basement for 24 years, fathering seven children by her. Rather than having the imprisoned woman tell her story, Donoghue places the narrative in the hands of a child born into a 12’ x 12’ room, the only home he’s ever known.
As a narrator, five-year-old Jack is tremendously enticing. His mother, kidnapped seven years earlier while walking through her college campus at age 19, has created a world for her son that is rich in play and learning, all the while anticipating the day they might make their “great escape.” This environment has provided Jack with an impressive vocabulary, though his advanced learning is juxtaposed with the natural innocence and bewilderment of a small child. The result is a story told through a child’s eyes, but in language that is endearing rather than tiresome.» (amazon.ca)
