10 things I like about Montreal


So, I'm gonna try to put some posts about my stay in Montreal as a lot of things happened.

Here is a list I did last week: I wanted to find 10 things I like about Montreal, to prove to myself maybe that moving back there is something I really want... I don't know what I really mean by that, I guess it's a bit scary to think of moving there and here is one result of my deep thinking. Anyway, stop thinking and talking Marion, just give us this list!!!

1.Switching between English and French all the time
2.General Tao chicken and, most generally, cheap chinese food
3.The diversity of culture, food and languages
4.Saint Denis street
5.The sound of the metro pass when you enter the metro station
6.Shopping underground in winter
7.Being able to buy a muffin at every corner for a reasonable price
8.Dolarama
9.The Québécquois accent
10.The fact that every corner remind me a great memory

Looking far ahead


The pastor's wife of the church I used to go in Montreal has an amazing blog: she has the gift to analyze everyday life situations and to discover great life lessons. I've been beginning to do that in order to hear from God in a different way.

I had my first driving lesson today: the instructor was explaining to me that, in a turn, it's important to look far ahead in order to have a good vision of the turn and to stay on the road.
I think that it works like this with God as well: if we just focus on our present situation, on the current problems or sufferings, we're not gonna be able to continue on the road, we'll be stucked. But if we look far ahead, if we keep our eyes on the big picture, if we remind ourselves that God is at the end of the road and that He has an exit for us, we're gonna keep our car on the good road and it's gonna be easier the drive. And the road is not only made of tightened turns, we eventually gonna find a nice road.
