Some news about my evening, the vegetarian festival, then a kid's song. This actually belongs over at http://riseupsingingproject.blogspot.com , but I'm cross-listing it.

Montreal has stupid T-shirts just like Bangkok!
Actually, they're significantly stupider in Bangkok, although that horrid "Game Over" design can sadly be found in both places.

Montreal Respect
I'm really glad to be back home to Bangkok. I'm happy here, and it's by far the first place in the world I want to be. Still, look at this photo I took three weeks ago while being driven down Côte des Neiges: I love Montreal.
And in case you missed the link three weeks ago, see the rest of my Montreal visit photos here.
New Bangkok photos or video coming tomorrow.

Me and Saila by l'Oratoire Saint Joseph
Tomorrow is my last day in Montreal. Yesterday I saw Rina and her baby Saila and we visited Saint Joseph's Oratory, a Montreal landmark I love. I've taken a ridiculous amount of photos just walking around today. They're all here for the browsing.

3 Montreal pictures from today
Flowers by the Westmount Library
The skyline from the new(ish) Lachine Canal bike path
A graffito near Vendôme metro
Why is Montreal so photogenic? I don't know. I do wish I had longer than 5 days here, though. Already I'm having to cut good and close friends off my list of people I'll have time to see, and I feel really bad about that. On the other hand, I'm also really eager to get home to Bangkok. So perhaps the timing is all right, all things considered.

Montréal / Mont Royal
I'm visiting my hometown of Montreal and it's awesome. My memories of it are pretty rose-coloured to begin with, but when I return for a visit, it seems like they consistently fail to do it full justice.
Note: My hometown is Saint-Lambert. Montreal is only my hometown like you say New York is your hometown but really it's Hoboken, you just moved into the city after college.

Step Falls
I took a trip from camp to Step Falls today, near Newry, ME, and Grafton Notch State Park. Check out the pictures from there and from the rest of family camp so far here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/matthewvaughan/sets/72157622039400309/

Eastman's Farm
I'm at Family Camp in Maine. Some of us took a trip to the Chester Eastman Homestead, a.k.a. Eastman's farm, run by the Eastmans, who are friends of the camp. Here's a link to the photos that came out of that, below is the video, and here's the link to the same video on YouTube.

Kuwait City Airport
I found they have free wireless in the Kuwait City airport. So that's where I'm posting this from. I didn't expect to be able to do anything internetty for at least another day. In an hour I board my next flight, which is Kuwait to New York (JFK). The Bangkok-Kuwait leg was painless, all told. Kuwait Airways is no Cathay Pacific in terms of luxury, but it's perfectly adequate.
Flying low over the little bit of Kuwait that we did, coming in from the ocean, the view was exactly what you'd expect if you weren't trying too hard to be creative. Lots of sand and not much else. Trucks and low buildings. Everything seemed sand-coloured or dirty white. There were long straight and seemingly interminable highways, a few olive-coloured trees, huge tanks that look like the kind of thing one takes surveillance photos of, and towers with flares burning at the top. I don't know what those flames are called. Oil flares? I think they burn there on purpose. They must, but I really don't know why.
I chipped my guitar somewhere along the way, I'm not sure how. Doesn't matter. The book all fuzzy down there is "Jésus le Dieu qui riait" by Didier Décoin. I've been halfway through it for going on three years now and so I thought I might finally finish it on this flight.
