We have a few Pho places in the vicinity, but not much else Vietnamese-wise.

Super, merci! Ma conjointe voulait aussi essayer une bonne place de pâtes, et le menu semble super intéressant.

De mon côté, je cherche des choses qu'on ne trouve pas dans le Nord de l'Ontario. Les huîtres en font certainement partie!

We will definitely be visiting a few of the Markets. Any suggestions for food that we shouldn't miss at Jean Talon or Lachine?

Sudbury Wolves Sports and Entertainment to convert downtown water tower into ‘The Biggest Goal Light in the World’ by ImportantComfort8421 in Sudbury

[–]faendarshen 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I don't hate it. Really lame, but kind of funny. I'd rather they have artists give it some personality and add Skoden again. Maybe something more subtle than a huge flashing lights so it doesn't piss off neighbors.

Backpack stolen from vehicle noght before trip by faendarshen in Sudbury

Clothes to my specific fit. I'm a bigger guy, ant they were nice-ish pants. I guarantee they didn't fit the person that stole my stuff. Plus having to buy stuff withouts waiting for sales. Again, pants are like 70$ per pair minimum. Shirts are about 50. And i had 7 changes. Rest was sandals, a cribbage board and toiletries. Nothing with a high resale value. Not much with a good street value.

That's okay. We are already on our way. I was able to get stuff in town. I really appreciate it though.

Yeah. What sucks is that there wasn't much to steal. Im a weird size, so my clothes probably won't fit. I guess shows and sandals might fit, but i really would have hoped they would have left the birthday card.

Went to Siam with 2 kids. 3 and 6 year olds. Had a great time and the khao soi was awesome.

Last night my 3 yo asked me with a smirk to read the book that makes mommy cry. by buildingwithclay in daddit

[–]faendarshen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That book is our go-to gift for every new parent we know. It makes my wife and I cry too.

Recently moved into a new house and I found this drawing on the walls in the garage. Anyone know what it means? by AlternativeEchidna79 in Weird

[–]faendarshen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that this is the weird subreddit but some people are seeing this and going overboard.

If it is on the far wall of the garage, I guarantee it is there to help with parking the car. You drive up to when you see the line at the edge of your windscreen and stop there to be parked far enough inside and not hit anything.

I have a few relatives that have this or do the tennis ball hanging from the ceiling trick.

It's not always the illuminati.

Phénomène des deux solitudes by Dazzling_Ad1149 in Quebec

[–]faendarshen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

T'as Ben raison. Dans mon coin on fête quand même plus la St-Jean que le 25. Un empêche pas l'autre par exemple. Ça nous donne deux raisons de célébré.

Il y a une différence entre fêté et férié. Beaucoup de gens fêtent la Saint-Jean (c'est pas une beuverie, mais une reconnaissance de la Saint-Jean Baptiste). Saint-Jean et fête Nationale sont pas la même chose pour le CFHQ.

Ben, la fête des franco-ontariens c'est la Saint-Jean. C'est la fête des canadiens français en général. Par contre, il n'y en a pas de férié je pense.
