Summer in Montreal

Hello everybody!

I'm glad to be finally back on the web !! The past four weeks have been pretty hectic in general, moving out to my mum's place, spending time dealing with bureaucracy and worrying a lot about whether I would get the student loan for Hong Kong. Anyway things are starting to look better now, my student visa application has just been approuved and the waiting period is almost over to see if my program will be indeed recognized by the Quebec government... So, I'll keep my fingers crossed and hope that everything will be fine... maybe that's too optemistic but I have no other choice than wait and wonder. I'm thinking about going to NYC really soon to meet with one the great girl I have come to know in the past year! If she can't make it, I don't mind going there on my own and go sightseeing for a weekend... It's funny that New York is 8 hours away from Montreal and before this year I never actually consider going because I never stopped to think that this city had anything worthwhile to see... Outside of thinking about school, and slowly preparing myself to leave Montreal, there isn't much going on for me this summer.

I've included here some pictures I took last week when a friend of mine from NYC came to visit Montreal with her boyfriend. These are pictures from "Festival International de Jazz de Montreal" which is one of the biggest outdoor music festival in the world. Each years I go there when I can, I just like to walk around and see the crowds... It's really a well planned festival which is growing in popularity each years.

I guess this is one of the official mascots of the festival. Meow!

I hope that by next time I post on that blog, I will have positive news about the whole process

Meanwhile, everybody please take care :o)

When I'm 24

Hello everybody!

Thanks a lot for all the birthday wishes! Especially to those I took the extra time to send me elaborate emails! This birthday has been quite simple but probably the best one that I can remember in recent years.



Merci a tous !
