Canada Trip: Montreal

♫  Minou- Chambre Ocean ♫ 

Hey guys!

Sorry I haven't been posting frequently but I've been super busy with work this week, but here are the pics of Montreal!

Honestly, I think this was one of my favorite cities from the trip, I loved Quebec City too but Montreal is on a whole other level, it's definitely bigger and filled with so much to see and experience. 

I even got a chance to visit the MAC which is the Museum of Contemporary Art, I also noticed there were so many other cool art museums and installations all over the city. I think this is what attracted me more to it, there was so much art, culture, and diversity. 

I loved the mix of modern and old architecture all over, especially in Old Port Montreal. Old Port Montreal reminded me so much of France, the streets, the cute cafes, the cobble stones, the cathedrals.....you get the picture. It was definitely one of my favorite areas in downtown besides the arts district. 

Of course I also had to hunt for the cutest cafes and concept stores and I found, there were so many I saved on my list but so little time *le sigh*

I highly recommend visiting Montreal, such a cool artsy city with friendly locals and there is plenty to see and do. Wish I could've stayed longer who knows maybe next time!

Cool exhibit called "Unstable Presence" by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer at the MAC.

Loved this installation called "Pulse Spiral" the lights flickered along with the same pulse and rhythm of  your heartbeat while holding a sensor. 

"La Foret Urbaine" art installation....LOVED this right in the middle of the city!

"Moving Dunes" art installation. 

Crescent St. 

Stopped at Tommy Cafe for a quick snack and drink... LOVED it!

Iced chai, matcha, and a yummy pastry.

Visited the cutest concept shop: Maison Pepin.

Maison Pepin is a family-owned shop and there's also cafe.

Loved the whole chill ambiance and aesthetic.
