  1. The best was when I lived on laval, right off the Carre St. Louis... they got rid of all the drug dealers and it was the perfect location...

    My favourite era in the Montreal years!

    And the Plateau for the win! And yeah, don't say your address, I don't live there anymore so I'm okay...

    There was a micro brasserie I used to go to all the time, it burnt down, corner of Mont Royal and St. Laurent? They had honey beer in the summer, LOVED that place...

    not le cheval blanc but.... do you know it?

    Cheval Blanc is Greg's favourite Montreal beer! I lived on Laval too, next to the Carré St-Louis, hmmm, in 1987. Dieu du Ciel, on Laurier close to St-Laurent is my favourite microbrasserie now (but, I don't drink that much beer, so, beer forums may be a better resource than me)

    Barouf burnt down, but that is on St-Denis, they did reopen.

  2. it's so true...

    But oh my dieu! Italian poutine! You know where I used to LOVE to go after the bars... The Green Spot and Fameux Viande fume on St. Denis, I think? There was another one on Mont Royal too!

    The Green Spot is in NDG, I think but awesome food!

    :D

    Poutine is perfect after bars... is it the fat? is it the sodium? There was a nice article recently in the New Yorker about it: http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2009/11...fa_fact_trillin

    (I won't write my address for all to see, but, yeah, I'm a Plateau girl...)

  3. Which reminded me of this program I was watching last night. It was called something like....locked up abroad?

    Anyway, the first one was 2 American girls who were locked up in a prison in Peru for - i'm not sure how long - 3 years I think, for trying to import cocaine - I believe it was planted on them though (I missed the first part of this one).

    The second one was a British guy who worked in the financial district and decided to go travelling. He agreed to carry gold in to Nepal from India, in a jacket that had big pockets (yes, there is some connection here haha). Needless to say they all got caught, again I can't remember how long he ended up staying in that Nepalese prison.

    Then there was an American guy who decided to ride his motorcycle around Columbia and surprise! he got kidnapped. He was pretty wily though and refused to eat and pretended to be bleeding and eventually his kidnappers turned him over to the red cross.

    <wanders away>

    Previously, you could buy "messenger" tickets (maybe it's still possible, not sure) - you got a really low fare , but you had to give up your luggage quota to the transport company. However, I think you didn't handle the "package" and it was all legal. Since you still had to travel with the limited cabin bag, there was all kind of "tricks" on how to bring more than what was allowed. I've seen some crazy stuff while working at the airport too...

  4. buy baggie clothes today and start sewing big pockets!

    or train your cat to stay on your head, pretend it's a wig.

    Seriously, I'm sorry about the added stress of improvised security procedures (F)

  5. people my parents have huge links in India, that is how they managed to get me married like that, i can't sneak out, they will find me even before reaching the embassy which is a full 10 hour drive from where i am right now provided i don't even have the money to get there, they have even took away my phone from me, i have my laptop from where i am writing all this, they don't know much about internet, that is why I still have it, that also i don't know till when?

    my only hope is getting back to USA, i just wanted to know that when i reach USA, what can i do and what options do i have ?

    Like can i report to the police and can they help me in getting my passport and my belongings from them so that i can fly off to my native country?

    or if suppose they didn't perform the marriage ceremony and i play along till i get a conditional PR can i divorce him after getting it or will i be deported back to my native country right after the divorce is finalized, or can i stay and work in US till the CPR time expires that is 2 years and then move back to my country, coz then this way I can complete my education and also fend for myself.

    Any other Way out of this mess ?

  6. Hugglebuggles' suggestion is good. You may also want to see if you are already covered by your spouse's insurance and find and meet a doctor during one of your visits. You can also stop by a drugstore and they can see if the same drugs are available there (I did this for my birth control pills and the exact same brand is available there, so I only need to find a doctor to get a prescription...).

    Good luck :)

  7. dirtyweebesom: thank you for putting words on my thoughts :) My husband is already learning French because life at home will be in French, as much as possible. I'm already giving up so many things in my life, I'm not ready to lose my culture and language.

    OP: I wish you the best. As Kathryn said, counselling may be a good option for you two :)

  8. Oh man, Nev, I wanted to see Avatar but we had to run a whole pile of errands today.

    So, Made it to the USofA with no hitch at all. My travel was AWESOME -- thank you great weather and air canada for being on time. I was at BWI by 9am. Pretty great.

    i also had NO issues at the border -- they, again, did not ask for any of my letters of ties to canada. BUT, the border guide DID take a while to type some information in the system. Was it about me? My passport? What? I'm curious, actually but they never asked me anything else but... I do wonder.

    :D

    Well, just thought I'd let you all know!

    :D

    Best,

    LGG

    Enjoy your stay! :) Happy to hear your trip was fast and easy!
