Last saturday. Dad and i flew up to ohio for the canada trip, my sisters and mother would be following us later, since tq had school(what a loser). The flight was rather peaceful and we didn’t have any major problems. When we got there, we were the last ones to arrive(other than my sisters and mom). we were only staying two nights so those days went by fast. khang and i went to tjmax and got face masks(which we never ended up doing together). we also got boba at this very interesting boba place, it was good i liked it a lot.
The day we left, we went to go get dim sum at the usual place. i still have no idea what it’s called but we go there every time. that night, i got all my stuff packed and everything and then we got into the giant van. khang and i sat next to each other and it was already dark outside so i fell asleep pretty quickly. something that i was not aware of, was that we were stopping in buffalo new york. so we pulled up to this house and i check the weather on my phone and boom. why didn’t anyone tell me we were stopping in new york. anyways it was cool the house was mediocre but to be honest i’m fine with anything. angel and i had to share a single bed with y vien. which is awful. y vien needs a king sized bed for herself. she kicks and turns and ends up upside down sometimes. i took one for the team and slept in between the two of them.
The next morning we packed our stuff to actually head to montreal, for realsies. the car ride was nice and peaceful and the view was pretty. i fell asleep immediately. i fall asleep quickly a lot on this trip, i’m just a very tired person i guess. our first stop in montreal was chinatown, for food. khang and i went to this ramen place and it was so good except the portions were huge. i ordered a small and barely finished it. khang ordered a medium. i fear what the large looked like. regardless, it was great, i just had no room for anymore snacks. plus, i was so full i didn’t wanna do anything else. our rented home for montreal was ginormous, with like six rooms so we were all very spaced out.
The next day my mom and sisters came and we walked around town for a while, then at night we went back to chinatown. and thucdan, khang, yvien, and i went to this neat dumpling place where they had xiao long bao, which was phenomenal. it was so good, and y vien dropped one.
The next day we went to toronto, and the car ride made up most of the day, and we went to pizza place where we knew the owners so we ate pretty good, well, i didn’t eat cause i didn’t have much of an appetite but i’m sure it was good. the house we stayed at was very nice, spacious, and i slept on a chair.
The next day we ate a this very nice pasta place, which had the best fettuccini alfredo i have ever tasted. and then my family left!
The plane rides were very easy to get on, but when we got home i was so burnt out from traveling and planes, i fell asleep immediately.
My overall rating of canada, very good, i would come again, just maybe not with 15 people. i’ve never understood why we insist on traveling in a ginormous pack.
