So a few weeks back my sweetie and I went to the annual Chinese Lantern Festival at the Chinese Garden in Mtl.
I must say it was very nice this year. The lanterns were beautiful and well laid out accross the path and pond. I was very happy with the result in comparison to a few years back where the quality of the lanterns was ... well crappy. This year s theme `The First Emperor's Procession` was very well portrayed on the pond with a number of soldiers riding above the reflective waters as well as a panoplie of characters in the surrouding hills and gardens.
Note to self only go there on the week-nights and not week-ends... Bloody Hell ! The line actually started outside the garden and continued on and off INSIDE THE GARDEN and along the paths... /$%/$%W$TGW$%?%T !!! Never seen so many people there before. Though this time around I decided to go earlier in the season as to avoid the cold. Yup from wearing a leather jacket, a tuque, a clerverly disguised pepsi bottle flask.... to a clean shirt and being very comfortable outside past 9 pm. Waiting in line aside, it was a great evening. Check it out via my Flickr Accunt.
Ohh and toped the evening off with a side trip to the Old Orchard for their delicious Apple Meat Pie and Guiness. MMMMmmmmmmm
Cheers.
