So, what to do on a Saturday night? Why not take the opportunity to overcome some of these fears? Facing these phobias? That's what I'm finally on my way in the Hochelaga / Maisonneuve there just a few days.
Let's start with some contextualization.
After a crazy day Saturday hanging from my computer and my letters of introduction, I was looking for what to do. I was navigating between the opportunities to go walking on René-Lévesque, or find me on the crowded terrace Latin Quarter. These two options clearly involved in solitary activities. I could not resign myself.
Meeting fourtuite help, very nice smile indeed, I found myself in Francopholies. Many, many people. Music almost sympathetic. Smells of hot dogs cotoyant laughter fatty cranks rather tipsy.
Day What!
Me tiresome quickly Cetta musical atmosphere very heavy, I proposed to my partner's evening walk, talk. Obviously, as the only intelligent people are able to do so. Irony? Maybe!
And I discovered the Hochelaga / Maisonneuve. Prefontaine station, around Ontario.
Suddenly, that is there in this neighborhood long considered infamous and obscure, that I discovered some truth: People exaggerate too much, me included. Yes, this neighborhood is not very rich. Of course, sometimes there are children crying. Poverty draws lots of its problems, crime. But to be afraid to attend such a place, there is a short step.
Side Architecture, the place is quite nice. A corner that reminds me vaguely Limoilou district. The apartments are all the same, three-story red brick ringed with ancient iron stairs. Patios in rotten wood, certainly, but also beautiful tall trees. And real people. Many students also. A drastic opposition to the West Island and the Isle Bizard. Opposition to artificial values of the richest. Their taps and Italian duck at one hundred dollars.
short, I liked it.
I realized some things that night. Among others, that the greatest love stories often are built around two specific values. The honesty and trust. Trust is built step-by-little on the basics of honesty. Simply.
be honest with someone is not so simple. It must, first, assume that you are. His whole being. So, logically, recognize its twist. Talk with other contentious issues. I mean discuss. Not to impose. Nor complain incessantly, too.
Finally, it is extremely important to make decisions for both. All decisions.
So a failure on the line. A failure that had been planned long ago. So handling.
A bad person? Unfortunately.
On a more positive note, I confirm that I have had the opportunity twice to enjoy the incredible culinary delight of the pizzeria on St. Denis Latin Quarter. I do not remember the exact name of the place. I think it simply: "pizza".
Check it out! Wood oven, Italian flair and breathtaking terrace. Located next to the cinema.
Thought of the Day: "A donkey never falls into the same hole ..."
you soon!
