Darlings is always busy but I've never been. Next door is a Cafe where Leonard Cohen used to have a fruit salad. We saw him there when he was alive and in town. His old house was across the street from there. We met him at the park by his house.
I am so familiar with Canada since I've been here since the age of four. I wish my Canadian father would have left my mother and I in Thailand. Over all I would like to leave Canada and never come back but I can't. In the meantime the Plateau serves me enough.
Enjoy your time Eric!
