Restaurants and clubs...I'm not in Sackville anymore!
Sushi!...can't get it like this in Sackville.

Poutine. I could tell this was a good one because the cheese curds squeaked when I chewed. I can still only manage to eat this at night, when it is very dark and I can't really see how gross it looks.
Ice skaters! Everyone has their own skates so I couldn't find any to rent : (
Old buildings on a cobblestone street.
Apple-filled crepe!

That's a lot of spice!
Wonderful narrow streets.
There is a Hello Kitty store on this street (Mom and Bonnie, that's for you).

Location of my AMAZING traditional Quebec meal!
Traditional pea soup.
Traditional tourtière (savory mixed meat and potato pie with flaky crust) with red cabbage and a tomato, onion, peach sauce...I broke my vegetarianism for what I deemed a cultural experience.
