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!šŸ˜Š 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...

Japan Winter Holiday 2017 Part 7 - Otaru Sakaimachi

On our second day in Otaru after we had breakfast and ice cream , we continued walking to Sakaimachi. This shopping street is one of the busiest in the city and is where a lot of Otaru attraction is located. In front of one of the stores there, we saw this cute dog wearing a Minion outfit. Of course Miss Kiki jumped and squealed and asked if she could pet it. We asked permission from the owner to take a picture with it. Along the street they have rock statues in the shape of famous characters like Anpanman and Mickey Mouse. With Anpanman It was a very nice day, we were able to walk around and had fun without feeling cold even though there were a lot of ice and snow. Check out the platforms they set up on the hill. We think that it's to prevent snow slides... Most of the buildings there were old style,,,  Many shops sell fresh seafood and they would cook it for you by order. As we walked past a souvenir shop, we saw a poster for these snowball make...

Spring in Egypt Part 9 - Luxor Temple

At the time when we arrived at Luxor temple it was already after dusk and it became a little difficult to take photos. I compensated by setting my camera ISO to 4000 to make tripod-less picture-taking possible even though the grains became more visible. Just like the previous nights, the moon still looked round to me. I wasn't sure which one of those moons was the actual full moon. We walked around the temple first with Michael for explanations about the temple. In the distance we were able to hear the adzan calling the people for prayer. Situated in the east bank, the construction of the temple was started by Amenhotep III, continued and finished by the famous King Tut and Horemheb, and then added on to by Rameses II and finally by Alexander the Great. Unlike the other temples we had previously visited, this temple is not dedicated to a single cult/god. Instead, it is used as a place to rejuvenate kingship. May of the kings were said to have been coronated at this temple. ...
