Free Museum in McGill university!

On a nice day, one of my best friend invited me to go to the museum (archeology museum). First, it sounded ...a little...Special... I prefer going to a Shopping Museum but let's give it a try! At least I will looked smarter if I tell people that :'' Well, on my days off I went to the museum to nourish my brain and for the culture...''
We got there, it was the building at McGill metro station. It was so hot in the building. There was a big rock and piece of the tree trunk, it must the in the 1800's. So I started to read the history about it, what a nice way to start a tour, at least I looked interested! There were students going around with a piece of rock, tree, animal around the room. It would be so cool to study all the components of a diamond!!! what a hard job!

We got upstairs where all the imaginable kinds of rocks were exposed. It was interesting to see all the different kind of rocks, but trust me...I can hardly remind...3 of them: granite, quartz, diamond!
There was also history about the culture around the world, this I liked! Because it is a very good way to start a conversation:'' Hey, by any chance, do you know why Chinese people try to reduce the size of the ladies feet as much as they can? or Do you know that before they put dead people into a mommy they removed all the organs? ''

Canada's Maple Leaf!
          
                                  
But the place was so nice, calm and Romantic!!! I forgot to mention the most important thing: It's FREE!! A nice place to go with kids or to impress your new girl/boyfriend!( or maybe a good way to get rid of her/him lol). I'll   give that place 10/10 because it is so well presented and of course because it is free so it encouraged me to go! I can call this a museum for Dummies! And it is located in downtown Montreal, not in a lost location that you need to take metro, bus then walk! After you can go shopping! Also, there was no one to watch if you behave well, you are aloud to talk (not too loud). No one there to tell you: ''excuse me, you are not allow to touch this,  excuse me, it is forbidden to talk, excuse me you can't run! '' Yeah, i like it because i don't feel that i am still in school !


My lovely Montreal

I've lived in Montreal for a so long time but I still haven't seen it all!
Last time I went to Art Cafe with my best adoptive sister! It's located on President Kennedy street and McGill college. It is a small cute place. We went there because we saw picture of the art coffee that they make. Trust me, the coffee is really strong, you know, the real one, not the kind that you by buy from a machine! We order, latte coffee,  my friend put 6 sticks of sugar if I remembered well.  The ambiance is cool, casual and relaxing. The price is reasonable around 3-6$. We did not try their food. Nice place to try if you want to go somewhere else than others coffee shop chain.

Threading!

Hello everyone! It's been fews months that i did not post on my blog, I was so busy with all my personnal stuffs! But look what I found out today, well, I am sure that some of you have already heard about it or even used to technic. Threading (epilation), according to Wikipedia '' : Threading is an ancient method of hair removal. It is popular in many Arabic countries as well as Indian and Persian culture where it is called Bande Abru ("Abru" means eyebrow, and "Band" is the thread)''. I was on my way to go to Dollarama, suddenly a small Indian boutique got my attention. I got in there, of course there was the smelling of encens from India, I guess. I looked around then a woman came to me and said that she is doing threading for the eyebrows, upper lip, chin, anyways everywhere that you want to remove hair! She explain to me that with the technic the hair won't grow darker or more. It costs 5$ for the eyebrows and 3$ for the upper lips, I was little scared what to expect, will it hurt? will my skin get red? how long do I have to repeat it? Since it did not implicate chemical products and it's not a invasive technic, I was feeling better. So I went for it! ( in my head I was reading to bargain for less...lol! but I was afraid that she will only do half of the job)!!!


I laid on a massage chair, then the woman opened an Indian music, maybe to help me relaxing, I did not feel relaxed at all! Let me tell you, it's hurt, the feeling is...really cutting your hair with a thread!! She put one part of the thread in your mouth then hold the rest with her hand. She was quick! so quick that you don't even notice your pain!
The eyebrows went well. The upper lips...kill me, it was hurting, well it is a sensitive part ( upper lips on my face i meant)! I got like a drop of tear coming out from my eyes. However the pain went away as fast as it came! When she is done, i did not feel anything! The result was marvelous ! My face looks so clean and kind of organized! No redness at all! In all, it took less than 10 minutes!!! Can't stop touching my face! Cheap and quick!


I will give this experience 9/10, because for the pain! But you have to suffer to look pretty!  Go try it people!!! Now bye bye the razor!! She said that I have to come again in 4 weeks!
