Russian food and dancing
Friday night was the fourth irregular couchsurfing Montreal Food Discovery Tour meeting at La Caverne. I was downtown for most of the afternoon wandering around looking for interesting things, I made a 2 minute trip into Payless Shoes to replace my Converse all stars which were literally killing my feet. See shoes, try shoes, buy shoes… bliss. Good thing too as the restaurant was miles away. I found the street but soon discovered it was all the way over the hill which montreal is built around. I eventually gave up, got the bus and found I was 200m away…. bleh.
Second one in though, beaten only by Felix from Germany and from what I can make out as everyone else arrived the only person other than myself who wasn’t a local. More travelling couchsurfers would have been nice to see. Daniella also came and we talked some more about the camping trip we had planned for the weekend at a nearby National Park. The food was ok, it wasn’t BYO wine so the bottle of red I had bought from the nearby SAQ wine merchants was wasted, a russian guy got up on the little stage and started singing dodgy russian pop songs far too loud. That wouldn’t have mattered much anyway as as soon as you look away everyone switches from English to French at the drop of a hat :/
The entertainment started when a couple of Russian girls turned up and started dancing. Seems they had been out in the wilderness for too long and tonight was their night to go wild to some local musique. After aa few songs of watching them (which was easy to do as one of them was lovely) they pulled most of us, and then all of us up into the middle of the restaurant and started gyrating with each other in the middle. They were loving the attention and even tried a few moves on some of the couchsurfers. I got a few good photos 
Most of us headed to a local Irish pub for a final pint of the evening, good end to an exhausting day.
