over the weekend, i sortof became a tourist in my own city. i think its really worth it to just take a day to not run any errands or do anything work/school related and not even make plans! i met up with my language exchange buddy on saturday and we ate brunch and walked around a bunch and ended up at brooklyn, one of the mile ends quaint coffee shops.
the colorful chairs in the front of the shop look a lot more cheerful when the weather follows suit, but since montreal decided to host a snowstorm in the middle of april, well….. yeap. i got a chai latte and he got an americano and we were both quite pleased. costs about 2 to 4$ a pop. we had just eaten earlier, but from what i saw, the food looked yummy!
the only downside to this cafe is, unlike homeo in hongdae, we werent allowed to sit on any of the furniture in the back half of the shop, as its all for sale. it still adds to the cozy atmosphere though! instead, you have to sit on bar stools, which isnt always my favorite.
the employees were friendly, and as jinchul and i exchanged a few words with them, we waved goodbye. when we were then ready to take the metro, i realized we totally forgot to pay!!! i went back the next day to take care of our bill, but i suppose thats probably a good sign you’re really at ease in a place.
a few more photos from my north africa trip in january! in morocco i spent a quick night in casablanca, while i walked around downtown with my mum eating anything and everything (like these cute fruit, and snails :3) while walking through the massive market/souk.
also spent about a week in the south of morocco, in a town called agadir, the florida equivalent for the french and germans. ultimate relaxation and eat + sleep on repeat for the entire trip. got my first massage (ive always been too iffy to get one) and as i thought, not really for me. i move too much haha and get impatient really quickly.
