A Month in North America Part 6 - Winnipeg Day 6, 7, 8, and 9

Day 6

On the 6th day we went to one of our favourite Vietnamese restaurants in Winnipeg. It is called Nhu Quynh on Ellice. I really like their Pho and somehow in Jakarta they just don't taste as good. I haven't found a good one, anyway.

Deluxe Pho

Charbroiled Pork and Spring Roll Vermicelli


There's another coffee place that was supposed to be good on Sargent called 
Thom Bargen.  In my opinion this place is better than the one on Main Street we tried on the weekend. The parking lot behind the building is an added bonus. Yet, the coffee was not as good as the ones I can get in Jakarta. 




Then we headed over to the Forks Market


For dinner we had a date with ES and RS. We met them through dance many years ago and have since became very good friends with the whole family. They do have a beautiful family. RS is the man behind Integrity Design from Steinbach. And ES is the talent behind Allure Photos. 

And here are some of the food we ordered. 

Nachos


Billy Miner Pie - my favourite!
Okay ES, this picture would bug you because it is out of focus. But it's the best I've got of us...... :(


The following day Miss Kiki got the chance to meet one of the neighbour's dog. Look how happy she was. A bit scared though, I think.


We went to Sun Fortune again for lunch, this time with MM and her BIL with another guy. The guys mostly talked about work, but the food was really good as usual. :) Too bad we did not take any pictures. In the evening Miss Kiki and I went with MM to the dance studio, while DH went out to King's Head to meet with one of his buddies, SS (below on the left). I don't know who the other guys are.


Day 8

DH had a lunch get together with his ex co-workers from the Winnipeg Transit. Miss Kiki and I dropped him off at the Confusion Corner Bar and Grill and then took one of MM's boys to the university Fort Garry campus. From there we took the opportunity to visit King's Park. It was a cooooooold day.





At the Rapid Transit Station - these are the people behind the fancy online system
DH caught a cold that day and so after a bit of driving around we decided to head home, stopping a little at the dance studio to meet our friends at the Wednesday Salsa Practice.

Day 9

The next day we had lunch at Yujiro with my ex boss and (not ex) friend, MD. She is a very busy lady but is now trying to have more spare time and filling that spare time with teaching painting classes.




In the evening we were invited to MG and RC's home for dinner. The pregnant lady made us a full blown dinner she barely had time to breathe! It was so nice to hang out with them again and we hope to be able to gather again sooner than later.


Coming up: Part 7

Nintendo Switch Sleeve Tutorial

Hi! I'm Kirana from woofkiki.blogspot.co.id . I am going to write an introduction for this blog post. We bought a Nintendo Switch in Japan.  I really liked it and played with it almost everyday. If you're wondering what a Nintendo Switch is, it is a video game where you can basically  "switch" everything. The joy-cons and even the game! You can also connect it to your TV. It would be nice to bring it around with you, but when you put it in your bag... Oh no! The screen scratched! So, this is a sleeve that will fix that. Let's get started!😊 Kirana Now the tutorial (by Kirana's mom)... 1. Make your pattern according to the picture below. It is basically a 6"x24" rectangle with a semi circle at one end. Note: this is not a printable pattern 1. Cut your outer fabric, lining, and batting(optional). In this tutorial, I used minky for lining and a pre-quilted fabric for the cover, so I didn't need extra batting. For batting, I recomm

Labuan Bajo 2023 Part 3 - 3 Days 2 Nights Diving Trip With Chakana Liveaboard

  Photo credit: Lukas Rissing @thestudypacker A live-aboard experience is one of the highlights of Labuan Bajo. It has been on my bucket list for a while but every time I tried to go, something just didn't work out.... until now! The opportunity arose to join an impressive-looking boat this year and the dates matched Miss Kiki's holiday perfectly, how could I not take this rare chance! With less than a month to prepare, we booked plane tickets, accommodations, and whatever equipment we thought we might need. So off we flew to Labuan Bajo with little preparation and a lot of faith. ;) You can read the first and second parts of the trip in my previous posts. After we checked out of our hotel on the third day, we went to the pier and hopped on to a dinghy that took us to Chakana Liveaboard, a 47-meter-long phinisi-style yacht that was going to be our accommodation for the next two nights. My heart raced as we approached the pretty boat and spotted a group of staff excitedly wavi

Labuan Bajo 2023 Part 2 - Leisure Day Trip

I booked a leisure day trip for our second day in Labuan Bajo via Traveloka . When I say leisure, I meant a non-diving trip. We have a live onboard trip booked for the 3rd to the 5th day but that one is a diving trip covering different places and adventures so we tried to cram the other must-visits of Komodo National Park in one day. For breakfast that morning, we had breakfast boxes that the resort had prepared for us by order. The tour was operated by East Cruise Komodo and it was an open trip consisting of thirty-something people. East Cruise Komodo picked us up at Sudamala Resort where we stayed at 5:30 am and brought us to the harbour. The re-registration process at the harbour took about half an hour and after we were assigned a boat, we boarded. On the boat, our tour leader collected what was supposed to be the entrance fee for the National Komodo Park. It was IDR 150k per person for locals and IDR 300k per person for foreigners. We never saw the tickets but later on, we foun
