Unexpectedly Wonderful
I love the unexpected.
I love spontanaeity.
I Love impromtu.
That's why last night was soooo wonderful. It was completely different from what I imagined it would be.
So I was sitting at home, about to cook dinner when my roomie called me...
"Maz, you HAVE to come down to the pub and join me. I am catching up with some friends, and I think you would love it".
SURE THING! I was totally up for meeting some new people, and besides I was just going to relax and watch TV anyway - going down to the pub was a much better option.
So I joined Mims and met four of her French Canadian friends. I mean FRENCH Canadian. Apparently one of the guys I was talking too had not spoken English in months, so it was a bit of a shock for them all to be talking in English with me (even though I insisted that it was not necessary as I love the sound of French being spoken :-)) It was SO much fun sitting with them all, talking about Quebec culture and sharing some Aussie culture at the same time. We all had wines, and beers so it was REALLY relaxed.
Then one of the guys invited me to join them for dinner.... his treat! WHAT? No way, I said. I couldn't. Mimi (my roomie) said not to worry, that it was normal, he was wealty and just liked to buy things for people. Ok... But I can't stay too long, I told him.
SO, we went to this cosy Italian restuarant a few blocks away. GREAT food, although I had to leave at 10 to meet some other friends and head to an international party.
Meet other friends, and head out in -40 degrees to the house party. It was actually a farewell to Miguel a Spanish guy, and a join Birthday with Mitch (Belgium) and Paul (Ireland). It was FANTASTIC - there were only 2 canadians in the room, everyone else was from different countries in the world..
AMAZING! I LOVE these international parties... and the international crowd in Montreal.
We ended the night with Bitches Bitches - taught by the crazy Anuj himself.
Good Times, REALLY good times.
btw: This picture is on the way home in the Metro... it's pretty blurry, and I think that is how we all were at that time anyway :-)
