Glimpses of Vancouver

This was the second time I was at Vancouver. The first one was when I was working on Celebrity Cruise line in 2004-2005. Maybe this wasn’t my first autumn after all. The first trip was such a blur. This time stayed at Robson Street, what a lively street! Lined with restaurants mostly Asian, souvenir shops, […]

Mont Tremblant: Bring Me Back to Nature

Mont Tremblant was a quaint touristy town at North West of Montreal. The place was popular with their sky resort that opens all year long. The day when we were there it was such a great weather and many people had the same idea as we were 😉 There were two places we visited, the downtown […]

All, Canada, Church, Montreal, Travel

Notre-Dame Basilica of Montreal and Saint Joseph’s Oratory of Mount Royal

The Saint Joseph’s Oratory of Mount Royal had a nice minimalistic approach to its interior, with cubism style. After the church, go outside to enjoy the view of Mount Royal. (Ps. Mount Royal was an area where the more fortunate live). The Notre-Dame Cathedral had a really nice color theme, that is blue and silver/white. The colors of Quebec. […]

A Night at The Botanical Garden

Before the weather gets too cold, Montréal’s Botanical Garden was holding a Light Festival. It was nice, similar to the one at Nusa Dua, Bali. There were Chinese and Japanese gardens. The Insectarium was not to be missed. A small Insectarium though has many gorgeous and terrifying looking insects. Just wonderful!

First Autumn in Quebec

So this is what autumn like, and I love it! The colors are just so unbelievable. The nature is too stunning. The randomness, a bit chaotic but in harmony as well. I think autumn is the prettiest season 😙

Tasting Quebec

Yes, Montreal has many kinds of restaurants, you just name it… But first.. Poutine! What is a Poutine? Let wiki answer this 😉 Poutine (/puːˈtiːn/; Quebec French: [put͡sɪn]) is a Quebecois dish originally made with French fries and cheese curds topped with a brown gravy.[1] The dish emerged in the late 1950s in the Centre-du-Québec area.[2] For most of its existence, poutine was negatively perceived and mocked,[3] which is in […]

Tam Tam in Action

When the weather is nice and sunny head over to Parc Jean Mance in Montreal and join hundreds of people playing any kind of percussions (Tam Tam) and just chilling enjoying the beat. After that, do a trekking up the hill and see the belvedere with its view of the city.

Suburbia Laval: Normality

Landed in Quebec, heading straight to Laval, a suburb 15 minutes away by car from Montreal. A residential area, with similar shaped houses without fences and gardens. It’s nice and quiet, big street within the inner residents. Public busses passed through there which was nice! There were schools, sport fields and gardens around. Almost nobody walk, […]

Keeping Up with Old Montreal

In every parts of the world, there’s always an Old City part. Montreal was no different. Close to the metro station, it’s a busy and European-vibe-like. Lined with restaurants, bars and shops, your usual ingredients in a touristy neighborhood. The old Port was decorated with small yachts and fluorescent lights. Video mapping street arts licked […]

Eating in Paris

I didn’t eat much of French food. Why? Well, you can find French restaurants in most countries? 😆 Most of the time I went out with my aunt and ate Asian foods. We missed Asian spices. 👇 Yeko (or Yeka?) Sushi at Montorgueil, a casual place with quite fresher foods. Affordable also. 👇 Angelina Restaurant’s pastries at […]
