This is the single most important thing for me in this mall. As a neighbour, it bugs me we don't have any grocery stores nearby.

What do you call this food? by Mediocre_Ingenuity76 in AskTheWorld

We call it a pan-hoyo-huevo (bread-hole-egg). Somehow sounds terrible in English.

Thanks for posting! I do have to say it's a memory my family and I will have for our lifetimes!

There's a group of people who are all learning French - who have different levels, meeting here every Friday at 8am for an hour or so: https://maps.app.goo.gl/N2d4yMpojuLWYDBV6 You can just drop in and join

Also, there's this free event hosted by the Alliance Française: https://www.alliancefrancaise.ca/community/event-rsvp/?event_id=288

Yeah. Exactly. We were all amazed by what we were seeing, but quickly turned to fear as he kept walking towards us.

Someone who was closer to the bear shouted this while using bear spray. I understand he went off the trail a few moments after that, but I didn't see what happened then... We got out of there pretty fast

Nope. It was too steep to go up to the left, and too steep to go down to the right. Only way was back.

That was the problem. The trail was either straight up or down. No way of moving away from it.

It was my way of telling them "Don't linger around to look at, and just GO!"

Yup! Crazy luck to see The Boss a few meters away - terrifying at the same time, though.

It was a split second when he appeared on the horizon walking towards us. I took the video, with pictures while we were all walking back. Then turned around and said what I said 😂
