So much Montreal goodness! Thanks Gibbroni for posting those videos. It's making my much anticipated return to Montreal more exciting (Visa in hand, fly to Canada on Nov, 17)

Welcome back Mexi! I hope your ordeal is finally over. You've been at it for how many years now?

More goodness from MUTEK. Berliner Philip Geist set up this incredible 'Time Drifts'. It was beautiful.



For some reason, I didn't make much of a video of it. We were there to see Senor Coconut, a German DJ with a Danish band and a Venezuelan singer who are all based out of Santiago, Chile! They 'Latinize' songs from artists like Daft Punk, Kraftwerk, Prince.. can't say I've ever heard anything quite like it!

It's all over finally. I just need to "land" to finalize my permanent residence. I started processing my Permanent Residence application in September 2009, so a bit over three years! It was the most painful, expensive, stressful and annoying thing I've ever done, but it was all worth it in the end

Hands down the best timelapse of Toronto I have ever seen!

This might have been here earlier, as it is from back in 2010, but I only came across it this week:

Discovered courtesy of Traynor from Urban Toronto:

Toronto Boom Town

"This short documentary studies the contrast between the sedate Toronto of the turn of the century and the thriving, expanding metropolis of 1951. Aerial views give evidence of the conversion of the old Toronto into the new--the city with towering skyscrapers, teeming traffic arteries, vast industrial developments and far-reaching residential areas housing over a million people."

Saw this comical short film on TV this morning. I think they cut some scenes from this version though!

The Quebec City's tourism office released a short "Merry Christmas" video... Some recycled footage from previous videos but still nice:

Great video of Quebec City! I have yet to visit QC, but I have a rather positive image of the city and especially think it would be one of the few cities east of Rockies that are best visited in winter.

What is, by the way, that suspension bridge seen on the video?

That bridge is suspended above the Montmorency waterfalls:

It looks like that in the winter though:

Filmed this today. Basically it's the drive from my BF's old apartment to our new rental house. MY STREET! My home sweet home.

Our actual house is one of the ones in the thumbnail, which is few seconds in, once we go over the hill and down into old St. John's. ;-)
