New City

Wow.  It's already been 3 weeks since my arrival in Montreal.  The first week in Montreal was unbelievably cold and I didn't even want to leave my room.  It's warmed a little bit (even though it's still around -10) and I got more chance to walk around centre ville.  Montreal is such a gorgeous city with old buildings and art work everywhere in the city.  It's exciting to find an artwork on a street or at the metro station while randomly roaming around the city.

I am so behind on uploading photos, so this weekend I plan to upload everything I have so far.  First up is Quebec city.  My mom came to Montreal with me for the first 10 days so we rented a car and went to Quebec city on our first weekend here.  The first thing I realized upon my arrival is that I need to learn french.  I don't know any french.. so that's definitely on my list to-do.

First up in Quebec city was the Montmorency falls. It was FREEZING on this weekend.  I think it was around -30.  If you look at my photos, you can see that I am wearing 1000000000x layer of clothes.  I put on a beanie right after taking the photos because my ears were about to fall off.



 It was a sunny day but still freaking cold..

June randoms

Ahhh

I apologize for disappearing for so long.  I just finished my first summer course about a week ago and working, commuting, just... trying to enjoy summer and it's been hard to blog consistently.   Also, the weather has been horrible and it doesn't feel like summer yet even though it's already almost July.  I am hoping that July and August will be super warm and gorgeous.  

This month, I got a chance to explore and discover Richmond.  I am not familiar with Chinese cuisine and I usually don't know where to go when it comes to food in Richmond even though I am sure there are many amazing places to go to.  That's probably the main reason why I haven't tried to find out more about what's happening in Richmond.  I guess it really helps when you know someone that knows the area quite well. 

Anyway,  I am going to try to cook something up this week or do a review of a restaurant but for now... Here are my June randoms :)

Noodles from Deer Garden

I recommend EVERYONE to visit this place.  Affordable, delicious and you can pick and choose your noodle and soup.

Some riesling with mexican salami and smoked gouda cheese at Olivi's house
