One more week until Montreal

So I have only about a week more until I head off to Montreal. I'm pretty excited. I've been biding my time looking at stuff to see and do there. I'm not quite sure yet what I'll be doing, but at least I have a rough idea. I'm definitely going to be hitting up a Tibetan restaurant that I've read about. I know I know, why eat Tibetan while up in Montreal? Well, I love that type of food and I haven't been able to find some where I live yet, so I've gotta take it where I can find it.

I booked my hostel today, so I'm all set in that aspect. It's down in Old Montreal so I'm pretty stoked about it. I hope that it gives me a great experience.

New trip is in the works.

Well, I've been sedentary for almost a month now and that's far too long. I found out that I have a small "fall break" from work in October. Actually it's the day before my birthday, so I decided a trip was in order. My destination? Montreal, Quebec, Canada. I will be there for the better part of 3 days.

So far my trip will entail me eating delicious French-Canadian food, drinking awesome beer and just trying to relax. One thing I really enjoy about traveling is seeing the architecture of the place I am in. For instance, I loved seeing the old Japanese temples and shrines and how the Japanese incorporated their culture into western design styles. I'm looking forward to seeing similar sights in Canada.

I've been to Canada, but it was for about 2 days for an interview. I really enjoyed my time there, so that is what is fueling my decision to go again.

I'll post my further preparations later.
