There and back again.

Sooo, yesterday we had a trip to Montréal city organised by the school .. Basically, the day can be summarized like this :
- wake up at 6am after not having slept thanks to the awesomeness of Shin Megami Tensei, arrive at school at 8am, and immediately leave for Montréal in the bus.

- Play MegaTen on my DS for the whole trip, while making innapropriate comments on the game, especially on the poor demon Astaroth .. can't help it if it's a naked dude with a viking-like helmet on a snake, and that he kept on dying ..

- Arrive at Montréal after two hours, and look like goddamned tourists while we walk towards the first museum, the Redpath museum. It's one of the oldest museum in Canada and it was pretty interesting and varied. Fossils, dinosaurs, minerals, dead animals, mummies, you name it they have it. Even a samurai armour! Awesome.

- Leave the first museum, towards the museum of Beaux-arts .. Honestly I don't know how to translate this. Fine Arts? Anyway. It's more french and awesome to say Beaux-Arts. The exposition was about Otto Dix, which is a german artist, during the WW1-WW2 era. I liked it. Lost of mutilated corpses and naked old prostitutes, what's not to love? Actually I didn't like too much the prostitute part but the rest was nice. We had a lot of time to kill afterwards so we went to see the permanent collection, there's an interesting section about Napoleon, where they have Napoléon's hat and one of his boots. Oh yeah that's were we ate too, in case you were wondering.

- Leave that museum and go to the last one, the McCord Museum. It's about Canadian history. So yeah obviously by that time we were pretty tired, so it was a bore, we even had a tour guide .. that wouldn't stop talking .. even though she was intestesting, we barely had the time to even look at the artifacts [even though we had a lot of fun playing a game of table hockey .. yeah we're canadian all right it seems :\]

- Finally, we could go back to Sherbrooke! I played MegaTen again .. while eating my supper [an apple and a granola bar .. awesome, I know]

- And then I was hoooome [well, almost] and there was much joy and much persona 3 playing. [actually not that much since I was tired and went to bed early]

Well, that's it. I still gotta talk about today, but I'll do that tomorrow :B
