New Habits

Hello Friends! I posted this a week ago on my top secret blog, but it occurred to me that some of you don't know about it (hence it being a secret), so I am reposting it here. I will endeavor to update this blog more, so it will become more like an online journal? Is that interesting to people? I will try.

Oh, also, I have this photo blog of all of the pictures I've taken so far: http://kikismontreal.tumblr.com/.

New Habits
Montreal so far is living up to all of my fantasies (childhood and otherwise). Seeing everything covered in snow and beautiful young woman bundled up. I guess my own idea of what it means to be Canadian (probably formed by beer commercials and children’s books and government/eastern media propaganda) is epitomized by this city more than Victoria or Vancouver. Montreal is much faster paced than Victoria. I do get the sense too that I am in the big city now.

I have just finished a latte that I would describe only as drinkable. I slept in and went to the Service Canada office to check in on the status of my EI application. Apparently they are working on it still; my claim had to be transferred and they have not received my ROE.

Today I am meeting some of Orly’s friends at a symposium of sorts. I was told that there would be drinks and I could wear a dress. :3 Kiki likes.

On day one, I had poutine and beer, day two I explored downtown and on day three I explored my neighborhood (mile end) and took pictures and I cooked a delicious dinner and dessert. I have many photos and I will begin to post them. Missing all of you! Xo
