10 May 2010, Sunny and Windy
The temperature outside were 5 degree, but it is sunny, some chilly wind. Having breakfast with Paola and John, which end up talking a lot of technical thing about Polymer with John. He is a partner in his company, that design facilities for people with difficulty in housewares. They use a lot of engineering grade plastic, and he share with me the difficulty he met in designing, manufacturing, and a lot of thing. Such a nice guy!! After the conversation with him, I suddenly felt that I had lost a lot of my knowledge about polymer, although some of the basic knowledge is still with me.
Go along the River on the bike path, all the way to the Governor General house - Rideau Hall, and the house of Canada prime minister- Stephen Harper. It was impressive, a lot of guide outside, but the GG house is open for public to visit. Then went to the Rideau Falls, a small falls actually. But is was a historical site in Ottawa, with some story lay behind. and also the Ottawa Lock. It is interesting to know the function of the Lock from the history. I can share it when I come back...
National Gallery of Canada is a place the having lot of collection of contemporary arts from Canada, America, Europe and Asia, it was impressive. I spent about 2 hour inside, looking at the art, the paint, the crave, architectural...and enjoy my lunch in the cafe with great view of the town.
The Parliament place is like a huge castle, and is 3 castle together at the same place. The Parliament place is just at the right center of the downtown, and is the first thing you will notice from Gatineau. Parking my bike at a side, and walking around the downtown, many monument for some memorial. There are actually a lot of museum in Ottawa, but i getting sick with museum, so decided not to visit museum anymore. Too many museum had visited, all about historical thing, yet I not really enjoying historical. I will prefer a super natural, a park, a lake.......all about natural.
Went to Bywart market, a place that sells a lot of thing at the street, not as merry as the Pasar malam in Malaysia, but is kind of like that. Saw a a lot of people Q up at a stall, buying hotdog and ice cream, so i also take part in it. A great ice cream in such a chilly weather...haha...
The china town in Ottawa is not really a china town, is more like a Asian town, with lot of japanese, korean, vietnamies, Siam or thai and chinese as well. The China Town here do not have a gate like others China Town does, weird. Anyway, I manage to get something to cook tonight, and some for tomorrow. Although they have lot of shop, but sells less thing than the 2 chinese shop in Victoria...hhaa...even a Montreal China Town is much better than here.
Make some porridge with beef, crab and mushroom, in long grain brown rice. It was good, and Paola like it. Though this is the 1st time she tried a porridge cook in rice. We talk a lot about food that night, French food especially. What is French food? think about it....
