Gong Hey Fat Choi
After having met with Gunnar at Cuisine Bangkok and Cafe Myriade, I was invited to join a Chinese New Year dinner in chinatown. After nine dishes including chicken intestites and legs, 'normal' chicken, pidgeon, lamb soup with fresh water cress and duck soup, I needed a walk before going to bed. I decided to go from Place des Arts to McGill station through the underground city to prove that this passage does is not just a myth. It took me about half an hour to get from the northwestern entrance of Place des Arts to Station Bonaventure. From there I took the metro home, and tonight I walked the rest of the passage, which is pretty straightforward through the central station and the Eaton center. Walking peacefully through these dead business complexes and malls at night, encountering only security personnel every once in a while and trying to figure out the is something you should not miss (Sunday after 10pm is good, they close up around 11pm). My Soundtrack: Anthony Rother - My Name Is Beuys Von Telekraft, especially 'Geomatrix (Part 1-10)'. There are some maps, but for finding your way down there I would stick to the symbolic map you can find in most major waypoints.
