Visited the Montreal Holocaust Museum and Science Museum today, would say the Holocaust one was better unless you're taking kids in which case the Science one would probably be more their cup of tea. Also took a look in the Notra Dame Bascilica. $4 to go into a church (I seem to remember something about the overturning of tables). Impressive though (Catholic so what would...

Ok, update on yesterday. Found Tattooage on Rue Centre and got a print by William Blake done instead of the Native piece I originally intended. Turned up the Blake when researching the Native piece and knew I had to get that done as the start of a sleeve. I know how I want it to continue over the shoulder but not clear yet as to...

Sunny Montreal, where they only have one library, apparently. Guess Montrealians don't read much. First impressions...............ok so far, I guess. Surly, unhelpful hostel staff or that may just have been me after getting off another overnight train ride, finding I can't check in till 13:00 and it costing me $2 to stash my rucksack. Hopefully that will improe when I go back to check in...

My mate at work is filling in the forms to emigrate out to Canada.
I guess its the great country, combined with the lack of a language barrier.
Did you get a tattoo in the end?

It's the UK, how do you think it is? Damp and windy 
Canada sounds nice
Canada sounds nice Finally arrived in Edmonton, colder than Van but not as cold as it was. On the crap journey into town I'd already summed the place up in four words "Give it a miss" Looking forward to getting the train out on Monday. Hopefully there wont be over two hours delay next time round. Better not be a big delay next week when I've to make...

Just got a little time before boarding my train.
Spent a pleasant evening in Victoria listening to some poetry by a lass called lisa b. (I expected one of those chicks that used to rawk it with Prince but it was not her but someone quite different). She (lisa b who has not rawked it with Prince as far as...

....and in case you had any concerns as to lisa b's rawking potential I should mention that she managed to blow up her sound system.

So, of course I locate the nearest Public Library and access the junta-net.

Went to see Life Aquatic yesterday, is Bill Murray Canadian? Quite a funny movie, Willem Dafoe was really good, but I didn't find it laugh out loud funny unlike a lot of the crowd watching it. Apparently Bill Murray in speedos is hilariously funny. 
bondgirl:
I think that movie looks really good. And Bill Murray does have something distinctly Canadian about him.
june:
I don't go to see movies in public
because the sound of people laughing makes
me feel angry.
Especially when they laugh at things that
aren't that funny or demand a knee slap response.
Good luck with your tattoo.

Arrived in Van after a pretty uneventful train ride. All 4 days of it. Van much warmer than elsewhere, no snow. 
Net deprivation has taken it's toll and jumping back three hours haven't helped. I've no idea what day it is.
First impressions are good, library easy to find and will now be trying to plan my escape route.

Touche ... there are a lot of cute girls all across Canada.
If you happen to stop by any malls while in Edmonton, and there is a store called "As Seen on TV Showcase" and you happen to see a balding English gentleman named Graham, say hello to him from store 38 and tell him that we miss him.
Then go have a beer with him.
And yeah ... that is a lot of train rides. You're really seeing the whole show, aren't ya? LOL

I went to the Holocaust Museum in DC, it was really good.
4 dollars to get into a church? Those bastards!
Everytime you write something in my journal, you make me laugh!
