On Saturday I went to a Halloween party with my friend Hugo who lives out here in Montreal. Hugo makes his living working as an actor and as the artistic director of Théâtre des Tournesols, a local theatre company. I've been in Montreal for a week now and it's been fantastic... what a great city... what terrific people! (merci Hugo). The Halloween party was in a loft that's shared by a group of multi-disciplinary artists. Little Red Riding hood was dancing up a storm...

Today Catharine showed me around Seoul.
