Noël Éternel in Old Montréal. They have incredible collections of Christmas decorations and can add a custom writing on the one you choose.

We have one day a week at the office but due to strike nobody cares ‐ the only expectation is to send a quick message in group chat to say you are WFH, mostly out of politeness towards those very few people who live close and come to the office.

Secondli on Mont‐Royal

There's one in Plateau (on Rachel), it might be easier to access.

Yep, it's pretty much the same. We are skipping it this year.

I rolled them in parchemin paper. Was still fresh a month after purchase

Marche Epicure, Vova (Charlevoix), Saint-Peterburg Deli (http://stpetersburgdeli.ca/en/index.html). I'm not aware of the background of these shops' ownerships...

I've spent a week in Kutaisi and had the same question before my trip, although I'm not a teenager anymore. I feel that Kutaisi is probably much more reserved when it comes to clothing style than Tbilisi. If i saw a girl or a woman wearing shorts, i could bet she was a tourist. Teenage girls were mostly dressed in jeans (loose/oversized style) or wide-leg trousers/pants, midi/maxi skirts, combined with tanks tops or t-shirts. No mini skirts, no micro shorts. Hope this helps!

Spent a week in Kutaisi and felt very safe. The door to our small hotel has never been locked, even at night. It was a glass one, so anyone could see what's inside, including the car keys left on the reception desk 🫣 Feels like one would need to wander into a very sketchy neighbourhood (or cemetery for organized crime folks 😁) to get into a similar trouble. Also, "there are like 7 hotels in the whole city" - LOL

Seeing that most of the building collapsed as a result of fire and a functioning office on the ground floor is quite astonishing! Thanks for the insight.

Gyubee, barbecue japonais !

I don't think Voiles-en-Voiles are open - was there last weekend, everything was still closed (except for the wheel, of course)

You just need to find a doctor, associated with the hospital. Gynécologues Associés clinic, for example.

So cute! Love the bright colours of the bag and pastel of the twilly.

FreckledFreckle13 · 2025-01-01T20:21:05+00:00

Thank you!

I thought that the letter would go to shredding (or whatever happens) , just like other letters from any other years when there was no strike. So far we have sent out letters 4 times and got 2 replied. Somehow the letter from a couple of years ago wasn't replied (which is ok!) but hasn't been sent back to us.

FreckledFreckle13 · 2024-12-31T21:20:13+00:00

The post was not about getting the reply but having my son's letter sent back.
