Bravo Group Extension - Day 2

Aug 28, 2013 – Bravo Extension Day 2

After an extremely warm night, we woke up this morning at 8. We were not in any rush, so we had breakfast and relaxed in the living room watching a movie. After the movie ended, we went out and taking the wrong turn a few times, to Costco. We bought supplies and food for our hosts. We had Costco lunch before driving off to Quartier Dix 30, an outdoor mall. We shopped around the area, bought a few things. Some of us wanted to go to the movie theatres to watch a movie, but we brought quite a few movies with us (which we will be watching) on this trip. When we were done shopping, we went back to Michael’s relative’s house, watched another movie, ate chips and samosas. After the movie ended, we had dinner. Lots of chatters and laughter can be heard around. Today was basically a shopping and relaxing day. Tomorrow we will be touring downtown Montreal. This will be fun.

                Today was our first full day in Montreal.  We got to shop a lot today but I didn’t really find anything that I really needed. This morning we got ready and had breakfast. When breakfast was done, we watched a movie. I was really tired because I didn’t get much sleep yesterday…  Then, we packed up and set off. We first fueled up and then we stopped by a Costco to stock up on some things and had a quick lunch. After the lunch, we went to this mall and we decided to stop by the Sail first. After we went to Sail, we split into different groups and went to different shops. After a day of shopping, we went back to the house and watched a movie. Then, we had dinner and then we are currently starting another movie. This trip is going to be filled with movie watching! Can’t wait to go to downtown Montreal tomorrow!

走了，走了，都走了，原本的队员、战友们都各回各家，各找各妈去了。今天五点就起来了，因为战友们要乘早上十点的飞机，我想，我呢不短时间内不会再见面了，甚至一生都不会再见了。这离别似乎引得天地同悲了，今天起床时，就看到外面下起了雨。

但若是总是沉浸在无尽悲伤中，是永远看不到明天的，毕竟，雨后也会有彩虹，会有晴天。

我的旅程就又开始了，这次的目的地是另一个省，那个省的人几乎全都只说法语，只有蒙特利尔的人即说法语，又说英语，那里，就是我们所要去的地方。

那里距离多伦多有六百多公里，开了七个多小时的车后，终于到了，现在已是八点，我们搬完行李，吃饭饭就匆匆洗洗睡了。

早上第一次起来，居然是三点，所以，理所当然地又睡着了；再次醒来时，是五点，上了个厕所，就又去睡觉了；最后一次醒来，已是七点。而在我惊异于为什么自己醒来得如此有规律时，新的一天开始了。

太阳照样亮，白云照样飘，我们照样旅行，只是队伍中少了许多粤语声，虽然即使在，我也听不懂。吃完早餐，我们开着车，在路上漫无目的地瞎晃悠，结果晃悠道了一个大超市，Billy买了很多东西，也包括我们的午餐——热狗。

之后的整个下午，我们都是在一个个商店中度过的，我终于又体会到了都市生活。我在荒山野岭里呆了几天，又去湖边当了几天“渔夫”，回到城市，就像一个乡野村夫，真不适应这里的繁华。我想，回到南京，我会想念这里静僻的日子吧。

    昨天有了一个非常好的晚上，我们睡醒过后，有了一个很好的早餐，早餐过后便有一场电影，电影过后便开始出去周围去，我们到了很多不同地我们还到Costco吃午餐。

Billy还买了很多东西，很好的一天。

Shirley

    今天是我在加拿大第三次去shopping了，因为前天花钱太多了，所以近台年实在是得省着点花了，不过似乎也没有什么地方用着花钱。

开了大约半个小时的车，我们便到达了一个shopping centre。

第一站我们去了一个大的market，买了满满两车的食物和水。买完以经是午饭时间，大家便简简单单地吃了些热狗与薯条，外加冰淇淋。后面我们依次逛了一家玩具店（汗），一家书店和两家户外店。今天最令我满意的便是喝到了starbarks!

 

Bravo Group Extension - Day 1

Aug 27, 2013 – Bravo Extension Day 1

This morning, we drove Ava, Maggie T, Ryan L, Christopher, BingJun, and XuanZi to the airport for their flight. Bye everyone!

After they left, we went back to Monticle HQ to welcome Kendra along for the trip to Montreal. We had morning dim sum at a restaurant before starting our journey. It was a relatively long ride. After much driving, we arrived at Michael Lo’s relative’s house where we will be staying. We had dinner after rooms were assigned. Thus welcomed the house specialty, chili pepper. Several of us had a ‘hot’ time eating the pepper. When dinner was done, we cleaned up and then watched a movie. This is it for the night. Wonder what might we be doing tomorrow?

      今天又是另一个Group，不过这个group比起之前的人数小很多，只有4个学生。

今天我们11：00到便离开了HQ，上去Miche的姑姐家里，4日3夜的旅程又开始了。

Shirley

      今天似乎也没有什么可以写的，一大早5点多钟便起床了，6点多吃了早饭便坐车回HQ.HQ只有我和Moon还有一些Leadership的人。我不知到大家在等谁，总之我们几个一直坐在地下玩游戏看电影，一直到中午11点多大家才到齐。没有想到来了这么多前14天一起的人我还一直担心不认识别人呢。

        坐了大概8小时的车，中途还遇到了堵车，好不容易终于到了另一个城市，到达时已经8点多了。晚安，期待明天。

                Off to Montreal we go, but before we left, we packed up and stopped for a lunch. I was pretty surprised to see how little we had to pack compared to Trans-Canada. I also thought that I would be used to the car rides, but, I wasn’t. In the car, I was sooooo bored… I was also relieved when we arrived. The owner s’ of the house we’re staying at are really nice and they even cooked us dinner! It was amazing! I can’t wait to see what we’re doing tomorrow.
