stratford day 1

22-23 September was spent in Stratford with Yi Ling.

We took a bus to Stratford to watch King Lear and Merchant of Venice on Saturday 22 September. Both shows were shown at the Festival Theatre as part of the ongoing Stratford Festival. Yi Ling and I were enthralled by both plays. The acting was impressive and the sets were wonderful. I haven't watched a proper play in ages and I'm so glad I watched two Shakespearean plays in a day. Thanks Yi Ling for telling me about the Stratford Festival.

Pictures of the Festival Theatre and its lovely surroundings.














We stayed in a nice cosy place called Travellers Motel






cosy!

Just as we were deciding where to have dinner, we saw this beside our motel.


Aren't you folks back in Singapore jealous?




our meal! Yi Ling ordered root beer, chicken burger and onion rings while I ordered milk and vegetarian burger. Alas to my disappointment, they don't sell curly fries


onion rings


Can you see the oil from the onion rings? Yi Ling and I had to use tissue paper to blot the oil before eating them. I still think Burger King onion rings are the best


who can forget the adorable A & W bear?




I love root beer served in the A & W jug




Yi Ling and I found this very funny




the trees here are more beautiful compared to those in toronto
