Hôtel de Glace



we froze here.... cos Montreal isn't freezing enough, right?

I wasn't too impressed by this... maybe because it was too cold (but drinking cocktails off these ice glasses and then just throwing them away in the corner... well that was cool...). But stopping by in the romantic St Saveur on our way back for dinner... that was cool...

So we were talking in English. Not because we hate French; in fact my friend was the very francophone separatist, and I really want to speak French. But, of course my French is not very good, so we tend very much to talk in English. Upon hearing us converse in English, these two anglophone women, from Ontarion I believe (anyway, not from Quebec) run upto us and say "oh good you speak English... No one here speaks English... we were wondering how to have someone take our picture. Can you take a picture of both of us". My francophone boy friend obliged readily as I stewed in the corner muttering "shut up you stupid ugly racist bitches! You don't need to speak any language to have somebody take your picture. We had many pictures of ours taken when we were in China by the very non-English speaking Chinese people and oh we don't speak any of the Chinese languages... Did you forget your basic human body language skills? I bet you did... You are so encompassed by your stuck up bitchy skills. I know, those francophones do look like a whole bunch of teeth-baring savages, but they won't bite I promise my princess!". They were both pretty ugly... and fat...
