[Alilou]

My first choice is Sawasdee Thai on Main Street

 

[Aussie Willy]

I can do the 18th and would like to do Sawasdee Thai.

Yay! So far we have a yes from @overedge @manhn and @jl22aries

 

[Japanfan]

I'm 95% sure I'm good for the 18th, but I'm having dental work done in the afternoon, so need to see how I'm doing on the day.

 

[kalamalka]

You can count Rosaleen in as well and probably me too.

 

[Alilou]

So the dinner will be at Sawasdee Thai 4250 Main St. at 7pm on Thur 18th

 

[jl22aries]

I'll be coming straight from a commitment at 7pm...may be 20 minutes late but I plan to be there

 

[Aussie Willy]

If there is anyone around Montreal I will be there on the 31st July and 1st August.

To to jot this down for future reference, Nuba on 3rd off Main (Mt. Pleasant) has a ramp on the west side of the restaurant and an automatic door. They can move stuff around to accommodate a group of 7-8.

The ramp is one of those square end tight U's.

 

[manhn]

Looking forward to it!

 

[skatesindreams]

I'm sad that I will have to enjoy the dinner "virtually"!
Looking forward to reports from those attending.

It's nice of Aussie Willy to come to Vancouver again to give us an excuse to get together in the summer.

Got here this morning. Very rainy when I arrived. Did achieve my first mission of buying shoes at Gastown. Shoe heaven.

 

[manhn]

The weather is clearing!

 

[Aussie Willy]

Weather was great today. Went to Grouse Mountain.

 

[Aussie Willy]

Haven't checked in much. In Halifax at the moment. I never realised there was so much history about the place. Visited the Gallery, Maritime Museum and Citadel. I was very impressed with the attractions I have visited and I was surprised how cheap they were to visit. In Australia a similar attraction would cost over $30 or more. Also at the Citadel there were lots of students being part of the tours and shows. They did a great job.

The weather hasn't been my favourite thing though. It has been quite hot and humid. I am just not very used to the humidity. But I hired a bike yesterday and got caught in a massive thunderstorm and downpour. Ended up soaked.

I have got the hire car and drove on the right side of the road for the first time. I survived!

 

[Aussie Willy]

Got to the purpose of my trip today which was the Bay of Fundy. Staying in Truro for a couple of days. Went to a place called Burntcoat Head to see the tide come in. A very surreal experience.

My video of the tide coming in

My video of watching the tide come in at Burntcoat Head. Very surreal to watch.
