Montreal, Canada. Look for "habitat 67" on google. It's a thing of beauty. I visit and take picture of it every time I visit Montreal.
Gotta say Hiake loves Montreal. -lol @ elaine: That building is in Old Montreal where there are tons of stuffs to do during summer.
^ It's not exactly in Old Montreal... it already on the way to the island @_@b Of course I love Montreal, what is NOT to love about it??? It's just sooo cool, wish I can speak better French though :( I am SO excited about going to Montreal next time already
Please don't do that to me =_=b I was scarred for life the last time I chat in French so >.< Do you know if the restaurants re-opens in Old Port yet??? Coz their annual winter hiatus =_=b I hope I can go to Jardin Nelson next time I go ^+++^b
Yup, the restaurants are open. Anyways, if u ever feel like practicing ur french, you know who to ask. -smileb
Good to know that Thanks Hmmm, need to plan for my next Montreal visit... but all the food slots are filled... Schwatz, Chez Cora (Don't ask me why, I just love THAT particular one even though I have one kind of near my place...), Moisson, Belle Provi... L'academie... I think I am overbooked on the food @_@bbb What to do -shock
Stay in mtl for couple days. There's a nice spot to watch sunset on Mont Royal, then off to Cora, then museums or gardens... They have a nice walt disney exposition in musee des arts until june i think.
Sounds nice... but sunset? Sunrise you mean right??? Cora's close at 3 (or 4...) @_@b Yup I go up and see sunrise on Mont Royal It's funny to see SO many joggers... very early birds...
sorry for being so pessimistic with these buildings, but theyre are sooo inefficient. I think theyre cool and neat. and if all buildings were square and boring, that would make a very boring world. but for the construction of these buildings, it must have required so much waste of material and poor construction productivity and bla bla bla... i am sorry, this is just occupation talk. i just want to let you guys know the other side of the view. i like pretty things too
Oh it's a building to commemorate(?) Expo 67 in Montreal ^^b The other one is biosphere on the island, which was the exhibition venue of United States (tent?) during the Expo... Stupid Toronto is just too ghetto to NOT apply for hosting EXPO >_<b
The pink building's name and use - the answer This building is a famous guesthouse in a town called Matsumotoshi 松本市 in the Nagano 長野県 (Chuubu area). The writing on the roof is さかさ レスト とんちん館 pronounced as "sakasa resuto tonchinkan" means upside down hotel/guesthouse. Tonchinkan とんちん館 and kanji: 頓珍漢 are both pronounced as Tonchinkan but 頓珍漢 means in Japanese = absurdity. This tonchinkan is a play of kanji words to mean two things: absurdity and guesthouse , i.e. a clever double meaning. Here are some photos: Just inside and past the entrance, sign at the entrance, menu and the car park view at the back. -whistle The following shows how you get there and the specials on the menu which is fish curry, first item and the second is omelette and rice. Go there and see for yourself. さかさレスト とんちん館 住所 長野県松本市島内5030 営業時間 １０:００～２２：００ 定休日 月曜日 紹介メニュー さかさカレー ６８０円 オムライス ６８０円 交通 JR大糸線 島内駅下車 徒歩５分
Wow, play on words? Me like I didn't really liked the colour of the building @_@b but bet it'd be interesting to visit there...
aucun sujet Deux habitez-vous à Montréal ? Il y a d'abondance de chance de parler français et anglais ! Plus le chinoise naturellement! -cool2
Warning: BAD FRENCH ENSUES! THOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! And yeah, no accents due to my stupid computer @_@b Moi? Je n'habite pas a Montreal Mais je ne pense qu'il sois beaucoup de chance de parler chinoise a Monteral... /bad french LOL I really need to practice my French -sweat But I better refrain from doing so in case it is (so bad that) giving someone a heart attack or something
