My Achille’s Heel

The other day was my day off so I decided to head out on an adventure, to check out a new Indian Grocery (Gopu Grocery on Daniel Webster Hwy) that opened up as well as walk around the mall, as I haven’t done so in about a year.  I was a little disappointed they didn’t have any Asian grocery items as advertised but they did have a great selection and I got a bag of rice and a few things to try. I really wish instead of heading next door at Shanghai Osaka, I had just eaten at the mall. I would have saved money and hassle. The service was horrible and despite me repeatedly stating I had an allergy to tomatoes after finding them in my egg drop soup  (who puts tomatoes in egg drop soup anyway), they gave me a new cup with again bits of tomato in that also adding to the fact that I was never really assisted yet the couple at the other table (the only other customers) were greeted repeatedly. I had to get up and call the waiter multiple times and even after informing them of the issue the second time no offer for a replacement was made, ya I’m not going back there again.  I then headed to the mall 20 pounds heavier, as I already had my backpack full and now had a ten pound bag of rice. Target of course had a tone of Hello Kitty stuff and I couldn’t resist. I was sad though when I found out the Sanrio store had closed in my absence. I decided since I had to stop downtown anyway to go to Lucky Dog Thrift shop to take pictures of their signage so that I can work on my freelance designs for them and of course found more stuff (I don’t think I ever leave without getting something).

Oh Montréal Day 2

Day two of our trip involved more than random exploration, instead we had real destinations. We stopped at the Biodôme, the Montréal Tower Observatory, the Insectarium and the botanical gardens. Each destination was enlightening and I enjoyed the experience. I especially loved the gardens.
