A different beauty in old cities(Montreal,17 june)

Once I step foot onto the Basilica of Notre Dame, my mouth went agog. The interior of the basilica is breathtaking. I wish I could post all the photos of it so that you could share my excitement too, but this post can’t contain too many unfortunately. This music-miracle-sounding organ consists of a remarkable amount of 7000 pipes. The melodious tunes it played soothes the ear of even a music-illiterate like me would admire.

It is too bad that it has turned into a tourist hot spot instead of solely being a place of worship where Christians celebrate mass.



Since writing this blog requires a bit of a general knowledge about the old Montreal city, i did a little research. Forgive me, bro..i wasn't listening when you were explaining about Montreal's attractions. I found out one shocking revelation. Based on Wiki travel, Montreal is an extremely inviting destination for gay and lesbian tourists and it is arguably the most gay-friendly city in North America other than San Francisco. So, heterosexuals, be careful you don’t give out the wrong signals. U might find a homosexual chasing after you instead.



Next, we drove all the way to park opposite Biodome De Montreal. FYI, Biodome De Montreal was constructed to host judo and cycling events for 1976 Olympic games. It’s an honor indeed to be there to witness the stadium myself which now stands as a visitors witness place to four replicas of different ecosystems in America.




Following Aunt Marie’s suggestion, determined we were to taste Montreal’s most famous smoked meat. As for its recipe? Can’t tell you, because I only know how to enjoy good food,not cook them. its not like a beef steak but truly juicy and you could taste herbs' fragrance while feasting through it.

This good Samaritan local here pointed to us the best smoked meat establishment in Montreal: Schwartz Hebrew Delicatessen. Wikipedia says Smoked meat, also known as salt beef in London, is cured, spiced, and flavored in ways similar to corned beef. Difference in meat cut and spicing mean that smoked meat's taste is different from either of these, and even varies among recipes.
