Honeymoon in Montreal!
The montreal flight was interesting. It was a small 50-seater plane and only 1 single air steward. The single steward was funny and thus quite refreshing from our long and somewat bland flight in northwest from Singapore.
When we reached our hotel room, it was SUPERB. Our NYC room was pretty small and bleah.. but the location was very good. We could walk almost everywhere and there was the metro to help. The montreal was very big, spacious and we din really feel like moving out to walk around etc :p
After checking in , we went ahead to look for Just For Laugh (the festival was ON!) and walk the streets which have been marked off for the festival. Amazingly, even though the festival had a start date of the day we arrived, they were still setting up! If this was in Singapore, the whole thing would have been setup by now. Anyway....
We were walking around shopping and we saw the chance to watch HARRY POTTER in 3D IMAX glory! We originally wanted to come back to sg and catch the GOLD CLASS @ GV for this. However knowing that in SG we won't ever get a 3D movie and IMAX version at that so we bought tickets and watched. ITS AMAZING. The fight scene at the end? It was all in 3D. And it was really cool :) Glad we caught it..
So during the day we would go shopping and walking around. Coincidentally on the weekend we were there we managed to participate in a street fair. On this weekend, they closed down the entire road to allow a pasa malam type of environment. There was even a car competition so vintage car owners could show off their cars. Very nice :)
So what did we watch for Just for laughs in Montreal? Well we din manage to watch the big hitters like Brad Proots (all those actors from Whose line is it anyway) but we caught "The Asian Invasion" and "Defending the Caveman". Asian invasion featured a few comedians of various asian decents and it was really funny. I was rolling in my seat and tears streaming down my face. Defending the caveman was enlightening in terms of how man and how woman are now can be based on what has happened during caveman days. Very funny :) Overall we had an OK time in montreal though the buildings were rather drabby but the weather was much more cooling than in NYC :)
Off to LA we go!
