I read about houses on stilts and it made me remember of my own stay at such a place. I must have been 6 years old (my earliest memory is from 4) and we were up north somewhere for a weekend trip. We stayed in these series of houses on stilts right on the beach. I remember the beach but not how we got up to the houses as they were at least 6 feet above ground.
My sister's godfather was there and he was trying to scare us with ghost stories.
Simple menu this week.
Breakfast pate + cheese sandwich
Lunch: Romados chicken and capellini and paremsan and yogurt+cilantro+green onion sauce
I also ate a rib steak special from Romados and it was really good. I will now try to order rib steak when I go get my red meat meal of the month.
Our choir was selected to join a Choral Festival in Neuchatel this summer. We qualified by sending in a CD with a live recording of some songs. It seems we are the first Canadian choir they have invited in their 13 years of existence.
The sweet deal includes free lodging and food and local transportation. All we have to do is to get there.
I will be going early so I can spend one day in Zurich. My main goal is to go to the Sprungli Confiserie store and load up on their famous luxemburgli (like french macarons). I wanted to go to Germany to buy some Perry Rhodan books but I don't think I'll have time because Zurich to Munich by train is 4 hours per direction.
There was a small brouhaha about some vietnamese gay groups marching in the Little Saigon (Westminster) Tet parade today. The expected religious groups made a big fuss how it's inappropriate to have homosexuals - the thing they oppose - in the middle of a family event. The gay groups have been marching in the San Jose Tet parade since 2004 without any problems and they want to extend their visibility to this area.
I am not sure if the gay groups' arguments are 100% kosher but having religious groups dictate what is a celebration of vietnamese culture is definitely not nice. Not everyone follow their beliefs and imposing one's views isn't what Jesus preached IMHO.
