Peko-chan and Supergirl go see the pont de la tour Eiffel and the ruisseau de la Brasserie - May 23rd, 2020

Image
On Saturday May 23rd, 2020, the host decided to take Peko-chan and Supergirl on another long walk. She thought that she may even be able to take them as far as downtown Ottawa by foot, but unfortunately her iPod's battery died on the way, so she could not take pictures... Still, Peko-chan and Supergirl got to see a neat tourist area of the old Hull. As for downtown Ottawa, the host told them that she would try to take them there later, especially since the bridges between Ottawa and Gatineau had just reopened. First, the host had to go get prescriptions as the drugstore: The building with a tower and a green roof that can be seen in the distance is the Parliament of Canada!: Various pictures taken on St. Joseph's boulevard, Hull's main commercial street: The bank that the host does business with: The St. Joseph's cathedral: An old municipal building: The old train station (the train doesn't run through Hull anymore), which had b...

Tiny in Bangkok, Thailand - Late October 2019

Image
Tiny was given a Thai name, Jidrid ("tiny" in Thai), by his host in Bangkok, who took him out for lunch and then to an antique and fair market and to a K-pop fair. He also had the opportunity to check out the Bangkok subway! Here's what his host (Medileen) sent me : Day 1 - October 25th 2019 "Finally, Tiny just arrived from Canada. It's a bit hard for him because of the weather here. I told him that it's autumn but he never knew kind of autumn in Thailand. It's about 95F. I took him for the first lunch in Thailand. It's called Pepper lunch. The raw meat with vegetables and rice are placed on the hot plates, that you can cook them with sauce and pepper before you eat it. The meat and its taste can be whatever depending on your preference. This is Tiny and I've got a thai name! The host called me 'Jidrid' it means Tiny in Thai." Day 2 - October 26th 2019 "This day is actually too hot to being outside, bu...

Ivan and Masha in Canada - Summer outings - August 2020

Image
Ivan and Masha were able to join their host on several nice outings in August: One nice Friday evening, after work, the host decided to take Masha and Ivan on a pizza picnic at the park. First, they went to Pizza Pizza, a fast food chain, to buy and small pizza, a can of Coke and a small bag of chips, and then they headed to the Domaine Fairview to eat quietly in nature while reading a magazine. The next day, the host took Ivan and Masha to a free concert in a local park by a classical music group that plays Tango Nuevo (mainly music composed by Astor Piazzola).  Afterwards, they went and toured the outdoors Recycl'Art exhibition, by the side of Brewery Creek. They enjoyed looking at the various sculptures made by local artists using recycled materials: Details of the giant high heel shoe shown below, that was made using thousands of pop can tabs weaved together (apparently, the artist worked on that project for several years!). The little bits with color are aquarium rocks. This i...
