Back in Montreal

I just arrived back in Montreal after having spent close to 1 year abroad. I was in Tokyo, Japan for most of the time and also Vietnam for about 1 month. It feels really great.
I just spent the morning going with my mom to the flea market at a local church, and also walking on St. Laurent Street.

The church was filled with old German Lutherin's and lots of antique clothes. I found a nice leather case for papers and resumes. I also tried on a really sweet blazer.



They had a street sale all weekend long. If it isn't just me it sure seems like there are less people there than usual. Although to be fair usually at the end of August there are way less people than during the middle of the summer.

I read an interesting article in the NYT about language and the way it structures reality.

The weather is really perfect here, it's both breezy and sunny. A welcome change from Tokyo where it was constantly humid.


I had a really great talk about career options and opportunities with my mom.
