I <3 Montreal

I got back from Montreal this past Tuesday. I realized on my fifth day there that I usually blog when I travel, but this time I didn't. I did post to wardrobe_remix, which I don't do too often. I also took many, many pictures for fashionist and had the pleasure of hanging out with two of my best friends. Which allowed me to run the emotional gamut from teary regret to silly jokes.
Things we did that were notable:
*Dine at O.Noir (in the dark baby!)
*Watch Baby Mama and Blueberry Nights, though CB hated Baby Mama.
*Watch local dance-worthy indie rock bands at Club Lambi: Mathias Mental and Parlour (I'm a snob about my indie rock and they were both good.)
*Dance to Cut Copy at a venue considered one of their larger ones, but which felt very small to us.
*Visit the Biosphere
*Preview La Triennale Québécoise at the Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal (it was pretty great, especially Karen Tam's karaoke piece.)
*Eat at the famous Schwartz's
*Had an improbable meeting with my doppelganger. (Of course, she's an artist. Still a bit freaked out about this.)
*Take long walks
*Eat Bilboquet Maple Taffy ice cream
*Go thrift shopping
*Go boutique shopping
*And for me, take loads and loads of photos.
Montreal is awesome. If it didn't smell like manure in the afternoon and the exchange rate favored the US Dollar more, I'd seriously think about relocating there instead of Saigon.
Which is my way of announcing to the interweb that I'm moving to Saigon/HCMC Vietnam in a few weeks.
