Entry 55: Day 4-7

They say good things come in trees, like apples or durians or the CB-plant (which actually is a bush). Sometimes good things come in threes too, like spending $300USD on a flight to Canada, having 3 days left in Rimouski to visit and eat and cook, also 3 types of trees like apples or durians or the CB-plant. Couldn't be arsed to think of another 3.

Anyway, bumming around the whole day in people's beds while they go to work is an awesomely rude thing to do. Rude, but still awesome. So to compensate I cooked. Teriyaki cream sauce chicken breast with salmon in mushroom cream sauce. Also vegetables sauteed in garlic salt. What more can a host ask for, except maybe a week's rent.

Also, note to self: KFC here is infinitely better-tasting than the Lafayette ones. The servers are also infinitely hotter, much to the discontent of my host, whom I shall call Justaman for easy reference. They also give a huge pot of brown chicken gravy sauce stuff which frankly goes well with just about anything.

So for one night we crashed at Motel de la Mer, since Justaman never had a chance to stay in one near the sea. Also celebrated her birthday with local devil's food cake and sushi again. Second note to self: spring rolls are meant to be eaten hot-crispy, not frozen-crispy.

Visited the local modern art museum, learnt a lot about ice hockey, mostly in French. Obtained a stash of postcards, so Joan if you're reading this, I will send them to you once I find out how to send stuff in Aachen.

Sometimes waking up with someone beside you is a nice feeling, instead of the usual notes and textbooks that you piled up on one side of the bed before you slept because you were too lazy to shift them to the table. Textbooks don't make sleepy groaning noises, textbooks don't feel warm, and textbooks don't snore ever so lightly just because you took up the good side of the bed and pillow.

Also, textbooks don't make pancakes with maple syrup. And nobody loves textbooks.

P.S. I am typing this in Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof, to take the next train to Koln.
