Freezing Times
So, last night was not what I expected. It was originally supposed to be Thursday drinks at my friend Anuj's house - well with a small group of people. But due to illness, people getting lost, no phone with battery power, the night ended up just being 3 people - Chris (New Zealand), Anuj (Montreal) and Me:-)
But it was really cosy, and oddly motivating. Funny moments:
* Waiting an hour and checking two exits for Astrid in FREEZING temperatures. AND never actually meeting up with her. The key question now: What happened to Astrid?
* Randomly choosing a place to eat before popping to Anuj's house - and finding out it is one of the most famous smoked meat places in the world called Shwartz's. I mean they even sell their own T-Shirts, their own cherry drink and I have to say it was PACKED with people. So unknown to us, we ended up having a really awesome dinner in a really famous place... unexpectedly.
* Rediscovering the power of old dial operated TVs, the power of the forgotten cassette tape, and the beauty of free things lying on the street at Anuj's house.
* Planning out what is going to be an awesome event called MAGIC - more on this soon :-)
All in all it was a great night. We also have plotted down the social plans for the next week, and I have been instructed to put these online here - so that we all don't forget. So it should be a pretty cool week ahead

Glad you made it home Mazzy... was worried you may have frozen waiting in the bus cue, and I would have to search the city bearing my MAGIC towel... so did you manage to get to theo ther side of the mountain by bus or does Montreals public transport system need some work?
beware, for towel boy is here :-o
TOWEL BOY ...
Well I was waiting for 40 minutes... and NO BUS!
Montreals transport system TOTALLY sucks :-)
So I got a taxi... told the taxi driver he was my saviour... he was pretty amused.
Glad to see you posting, Towel Boy.
Hugs Maz xx
Towel Boy can sleep now, knowing you got home safe.

Towel Boy never sleep...
he's watching you...
ha ha...
TB!!!
ok... towel boy taking nap... but with eyes wide open...
So sorry for the transport nightmares... if only I had the internet at home, you could have left with a detailed itinerary of bus numbers and times... I couldn't believe the AUTOBUS service... you can call and find out next bus times, but if you don't know the number of the stop (who really knows these) you can not find out any information... unless you look on the net... assuming you have access to this technolgy in your home. Anyway, I swear to get all the bus numbers needed... and help those wonderful visiters to my humble home, get back safe, sound and cheaply...
for checking out bus stuff on the net... check out www.stm.info (then find someting called tout azmitus... start it, and then MAGIC! you can type your location and destination and find the most efficient way of getting there...
