View from Palatine Hill, Rome *Hello readers, this is very different from anything I’ve ever posted on here, but the creative bee stung me. Enjoy. Xx.
Dedicated to CB On my last day in Rome, I walked into the "Mercati di Traiano", a small, virtually empty, museum about Emperor Trajan’s legacy. As I read the inscription explaining the origin and inspiration behind a fresco, an ennoncé caught my eyes. It simply said, “Romans kept their stories written in stone”. Stories written in stones. It is simply true when you think about it. All the sculptures, the carved messages in marble, the columns, the frescos… were made with the intention of sharing a story about the Gods or the Emperors’ successes in battle in order to teach the younglings about their past and their faith. In a population that was mostly illiterate this made sense. It was easy to understand the meaning of coloured carvings depicting a gruesome battle or a scene of everyday life. These artifacts were made to communicate. While it was mostly for the propaganda of war or for religion, they had a clear intent and audience. Perhaps, they even thought that one day, a 21st-century girl would stumble upon them with admiration in a museum two thousand years later. However, most of the tourist sites I visited in Italy were not created with that desire to share stories for posterity. The Colosseum, the Diocletian and Caracalla Baths, the Pompeii ruins, Ostia Antica, the Mercati di Traiano itself… all of these were buildings used every day by everyday people. Yes, they were well-designed and had an artistic component to it, but they were mostly practical and grand enough to show the power of the current leader. Yet, we have transformed them in objects of our human curiosity for the olden days. Just in 2017, seven million people visited the Coliseum in Rome. How and why did we turn these buildings into stories? Why are we fascinated by things that would be mundane to the people of the time? Is the only reason why we still visit the Colosseum is for its astronomical size (although it is not the biggest of its kind), or do we want to see something more, a remnant of our past?

Ottawa has a bad reputation. People say it's boring, blend and a tourist-trap for people yearning to see the Parliament. I couldn't disagree more. I used to hate it as a child, but now it is one of my favourite places to spend a weekend away. There is so much to do. In fact, I haven't been to the Parliament in over 10 years. Ottawa hosts all of Canada's National Museums (except the National Museum of Human Rights in Winnipeg) and has a growing "hipster" community. This wave of change has brought with it a renewed creativity in Ottawa's food scene. There are staples that have been around for generations, and then there are the new, cool up-and-comers. I shall share here my favourite places to eat in our dear capital, and hopefully, some of you will rethink your opinion of this small but abundant city. Stoneface Dolly’s
416 Preston St. Right in the middle of the Italian neighbourhood lies one of the world's best restaurant according to yours truly. Stoneface Dolly’s has now been around for 18 years. It was founded by Bob Russell, the loveliest of gentleman which still works almost every day at the restaurant. He grew up in South Africa which inspired Stoneface’s famous Chicken Bobotie (pronounced bah-boot-ee) (pictured above). This wonderful fish is made up of chicken in a raisin, curry and coconut cream sauce. It is both sweet and spicy, and absolutely delicious when paired with eggs and a benedict sauce. Russell releases the recipe for his Chicken Bobotie in a cookbook in hopes of raising money for Citizen Advocacy, an organization that works with people living with handicaps, and for Grammas to Abruyas, a group supporting grandmothers who are raising their grandchildren after their parents died of AIDS. Don't you love it when the food fills your stomach and your soul? Vivement l’été! Il est possible d’assumer que plusieurs d’entre nous vont partir en voyage cet été. Que ce soit en Europe du Sud ou dans les îles tropicales, chaque destination à une histoire qui lui est particulière. Pourtant, j’ai remarqué que les gens n’étaient aucunement conscientisés aux enjeux réels en dehors de leur Club Med. Alors, juste pour vous et votre culture générale (qui peut être utilisée pour épater la galerie lorsqu’à la rentrée on va vous demander comment a été votre été), j’ai compilé une liste de « fun facts » sur les destinations mondiales les plus populaires de l’année dernière! Je vous invite cependant à pousser vos recherches plus loins et à au moins lire la page Wikipédia de votre destination. Vous allez mieux apprécié votre voyage si vous comprenez réellement la culture autour de vous, pas seulement en mangeant des plats inconnus ou en faisant du yoga avec un professeur local. Je vous incite également à voyager dans les chemins battus. Le Maroc, l’Estonie, le Sri Lanka, la Tasmanie, le Chili, l’Éthiopie et bien d’autres sont des destinations toutes aussi, sinon plus, excitantes qu’aller pour la 20e fois dans un tout inclus. N’ayez pas peur de l’inconnu.
Hong Kong Destination la plus visitée de 2017, Hong Kong a une histoire riche en passant de colonie britannique à l’occupation japonaise durant la Deuxième Guerre Mondiale à la situation politique actuelle. En effet, la Région administrative spéciale de Hong Kong de la République populaire de Chine se bat pour son indépendance de Beijing depuis quelques années. En 2014, le monde a tourné les yeux pour voir la « révolution des parapluies » après la décision du président Xi Jinping de choisir lui-même les candidats qui se présenteront aux élections pour devenir chef de l’exécutif (le plus haut poste de la fonction publique hongkongaise). C’est un peu comme le printemps érable, mais hongkongais surtout considérant qu’aucun changement drastique n’a été mis en place depuis. Le statut spécial d’Hong Kong est toujours en danger particulièrement depuis que Xi Jinping a abolit les limites de terme sur la présidence chinoise lui permettant ainsi de diriger le pays jusqu’à sa mort. Son régime a imposé de dures sentences sur les dissidents de 2014 et sur les journalistes pro-démocratie. En juillet dernier, 4 politiciens ont été disqualifié de leur poste après avoir été élu démocratiquement pour ne pas avoir pris « correctement » leur serment. Bref, Hong Kong traverse une période politiquement difficile qui semble sans issue pour le moment. Thaïlande Avec deux villes sur la liste des endroits les plus populaires (Phuket et Bangkok) et des plages considérées parmi les plus belles au monde, la Thaïlande reste un pays sous-développé. Loin des clubs de vacances de luxe, on découvre un des pays qui sera le plus touché par les changements climatiques et la hausse du niveau des mers. Selon le gouvernement thaïlandais, Bangkok peut être submergé dès 2030. Entre 1973 et 2009, la Thaïlande a perdu 43% de ses forêts au profit d’entreprises privées ou pour le développement urbain. Le tourisme est en grande partie la cause de cette déforestation agressive puisque la Thaïlande doit développer ces industries pour accueillir les touristes qui cherchent un havre de paix plus « exotique » que l’Europe. La diminution de l’espace forestier a contribué a accentué les effets des inondations de la saison de la mousson ce qui engendre des difficultés économiques pour les habitants qui doivent migrer ailleurs pour survivre aux flots, et pour les pêcheurs et les agriculteurs qui voient leur revenu disparaître. Royaume-Uni Le Royaume-Uni de Grande-Bretagne et d’Irlande du Nord inclut tout le territoire de l’Angleterre+ l’Écosse + l’Irlande du Nord + le Pays de Galles. Tout ce beau monde a décidé de se séparer de l’entité de l’Union Européenne (UE) en 2019 après le référendum de 2016 (en vérité, l’Écosse, l’Irlande du Nord, les villes et les jeunes ont voté pour rester dans l’UE). Le Royaume-Uni est le premier pays a se séparer de l’UE depuis sa création en 1999. Les conséquences économiques de cette décision se font déjà ressentir avec une diminution du revenu par tête qui devrait se prolonger au long terme. Le débat pour sortir de l’UE tournait autour de la question économique entre autre, notamment le prix que les pays plus aisés comme le Royaume-Uni paye pour assurer le fonctionnement économique de d’autres comme l’Italie et la Grèce après la crise de 2008. Cependant, cet argument cache une vérité européenne plus profonde soit la montée du nationalisme. En refusant l’UE, le Royaume-Uni désire volontairement de s’isoler du reste de l’Europe avec ces politiques économiques, mais aussi d’immigration. Bon nombre de conséquences sont encore à déterminer, notamment pour le commerce intereuropéen et internationale, et sur les questions d’immigration et de la taxe du « divorce ». Émirats Arabes Unis Bon, on ne va pas se le cacher, quand je dis Émirats Arabes Unis, on pense à Dubaï et à Dubaï seulement même si la capitale est réellement Abou Dabi. En plus d’avoir la plus haute tour du monde, le Burj Khalifa, et de nombreux complexes hotelliers de luxe, Dubaï est en voie de devenir LA destination touristique pour les riches et célèbres. Malheureusement, on ne peut oublier les violations de droits humains qui occurent à travers le pays. Dubaï semble immuniser de beaucoup de ces maux, mais lorsqu’on regarde à l’ensemble du pays, on retrouve une société encore conservatrice et répressive sur la liberté d’expression. La loi pour contrer le terrorisme de 2014 stipule que tous étant condamné pour avoir « ébranler l’unité nationale et la paix sociale » sont susceptibles de recevoir la peine de mort. Il va sans dire que cette définition est très vague. De plus, de nouveaux rapports de Citizen Lab ont trouvé une faille utilisée par la compagnie israélienne NSO pour monitorer le téléphone d’activistes pour les droits humains aux Émirats. France Ahhh, Paris! La ville de l’amour. Lieu des plus grandes maisons de mode (Chanel, Yves Saint-Laurent, Dior…) et de nombreux restaurants Michelins, Paris, anciennement Lutèce, existe depuis trois siècle avant Jésus-Christ. Dommage que le business des arts ne peut pas embaucher les 24% de jeunes actuellement au chômage en France. Il est vrai que la situation s’est amélioré depuis l’arrivée de Macron, le taux de chômage universel est actuellement à 8,9%, le plus bas depuis 2009. Comme le dit le ministre des finances, Bruno Le Maire, il faudra cependant attendre au moins deux ans pour vérifier si cette tendance se maintient avec les nouvelles réformes du travail de Macron. Le GDP de la France n’a pas beaucoup augmenté depuis la crise, et elle se retrouve dans un cercle vicieux : pas d’argent pour les employés, on vire les employés, pas d’employés, pas de production ou d’argent qui entre. République dominicaine & Haïti Je vais tricher un peu, car aucune de ces destinations ne font partie des lieux les plus touristiques, mais je blâme ceci sur le fait que la grande majorité de touristes sont maintenant asiatiques, et que voyager à travers le monde pour des plages alors qu’il y en a des toutes aussi belles aux Philippines ou en Indonésie pour la moitié du prix, est un peu illogique. Par contre, la République dominicaine est dans les top 10 des destinations touristiques les plus populaires chez les Canadiens et les Américains. Pour Haïti, c’est une autre histoire. Si vous avez payé un peu d’attention dans vos cours de géographie secondaire 1, vous avez remarqué que l’île Hispaniola est partagée entre deux pays : la République dominicaine, et Haïti, l’un étant une riche destination de vacances, et l’autre, le pays le plus pauvre de l'hémisphère nord-américain. On peut résumer brièvement et dire que c’est dû aux différentes attitudes de colonialisation entre l’Espagne et la France. Déjà, la position géographique des montagnes coupent l’accès à l’eau pour Haïti, et les vents du Nord-Est favorise les dominicains. Ensuite, la France, diverses puissances étrangères et le gouvernement même d’Haïti a complétement drainé le tiers de l’île de leur ressource (canne à sucre, café) à travers les ans pour du profit rapide. Les arbres ne poussent plus, et l’agriculture en est d’autant plus difficile. Sans ressources, il n’y a pas de potentiel d’exportations ni d’économie de base qui roule. En plus de la corruption, Haïti est mal partie. La République dominicaine n’a pas eu ce genre de déforestation massive des Espagnols ou une exploitation commerciale aussi aggressive. Elle a ainsi pu passer du commerce de ressources naturelles vers celui du tourisme. This year marked my 10th visit to New York City. To say that I love NYC is an understatement. It has been a while since I was last in Paris, but I think The Big Apple surpassed it as my favourite city in the world. Granted, I haven’t been to that many places, but NYC just calls to me. To live there would be a dream come reality. I was in NYC to participate in NMUN – NY (National Model United Nations – New York) (more on that soon), a 5-day conference in which my delegation and I pretended to be diplomats to solve the world’s various problems. Fortunately, the conference happens to be right before Easter break, so I stayed for two extra days in the city. One cannot do much when one is “MUN-ing” because it takes all your energy. Imagine going to school for 15 hours a day and having to do an oral presentation every two-hours in front of an audience of 300+ people while simultaneously writing an essay on how to solve world hunger. That’s the best I can explain it. However, since I have been multiple times to NYC, I can share with you some of my favourite spots to visit. This post is going to be a little different than my Miami one simply because the day-by-day was not that interesting since I didn’t stay long enough, it is more like a compilation of my favourite things to do. Enjoy! Thank you to KL, KF, M-LF, FH-H and JH for sharing your NYC pictures with me and saving my life after my phone was stolen! Thank you also to CB for editing them. The classicsThe Metropolitan Museum of Art (MET) I went to the MET this year for the first time in a while. I love museums in general, and the MET is undoubtedly one of my favourite ones. I especially love the Art of Arab Lands rooms which had magnificent embroidered carpets. The Arms and Armor rooms were equally fascinating. I have never been interested in combat gear, but I was visiting with two friends who were, and they made it interesting. The MET is truly worth a visit. Broadway / Lincoln Center New York City is one of the most fascinating cities for the arts. If you are not a fan of museums and inanimate forms of art, you should at least try to go to a Broadway musical, play or a performance at the Lincoln Center. Nowadays, even off-Broadway shows run extremely expensive and need to be booked months in advance (unless you go to the last-minute ticket booths). My group and I were travelling on a student budget, so instead, we went to the Lincoln Center to watch a performance of Lucia di Lammermoor by Donizetti. You would think that opera is much more expansive than a Broadway show, but you would be wrong. Family circle tickets run between 25-35$USD. Opera is an acquired taste, but I think it is one of the most universal of art forms once you start appreciating it. It is a perfect mix of theatre and music, what’s not to love? UN I love the UN. Everything from the architecture to its mission absolutely inspires me. One day, I hope to work there. Meanwhile, I’ll just gaze at the beautiful sculpture garden or wander through the UN bookstore. Go learn about current issues and admire the beauty of the General Assembly. Take the time to understand that this building is where some of the most important decisions in human history have been made. As an aspiring diplomat, I can feel the weight of past generations on my shoulders when I step through the grand hall of the General Assembly. Times Square I don’t think I need to explain this one. Just go and feel grand and powerful under the neon lights shining through the black night. UnderratedBrooklyn Museum (BM) Last year was my first visit of the BM and it was a phenomenal one. From the permanent collection to the temporary expositions, BM is a truly unique museum. Last year, I saw Pretty/Dirty by Marilyn Minter (pictured above) and was absolutely blown away. It was probably one of my favourite art exhibitions ever. It also has the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art which aims to raise awareness about “feminism’s cultural contribution”. It hosts the famous piece The Dinner Party by Judy Chicago which I honestly think should become as iconic as any Van Gogh or Monet. The BM also has a pretty large collection of historical artifacts from all corners of the world, although I have not visited that part. I would highly recommend a visit to their magnificent contemporary exhibitions. Chelsea Market I don’t understand why this is only #69 on TripAdvisor. Every time I come to NYC I make time to head to Chelsea Market. You can find a perfect blend of good food (it is not a coincidence that the headquarters of Food Network lie just above), and great local clothing stores, vintage apparels, quirky ornaments and modern art. You can easily spend a good afternoon browsing the various shops to find the perfect present to bring home. Clothes and accessories normally run a bit expensive due to the hard work of well-payed artisans that went into making them and to the quality of the products used, but they will last you a life time. I still have multiple pieces of jewelry and a few coats from previous visits that are as good as new. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EV4uet3T6E High Line Somehow this is #14 on TripAdvisor but I don’t know anyone in my entourage that has done the High Line hence why I think it is severely underrated! Coming from the Chelsea Market, you can access this old railway of the 1930s that has been converted into a walking park. The fauna and flora of the place are beautiful and contrasts with the surrounding industrial buildings. You want to make time to stop at all the little kiosks that sell a variety of products from honey to tote bags. It is a nicer way of getting around than by subway (especially in NYC). FoodSource: http://thewanderingeater.com/2013/03/18/brunch-at-friedmans-lunch-2/ Friedman’s lunch Words cannot express how much I love fried chicken with waffles. It is quite simply the perfect brunch food with its mix of crunchy, sugary and protein-y. The best I’ve ever had is at Friedman’s in Chelsea Market. It is just fabulous. Every time I am in NYC I make a point of stopping by even if the line is always long. The chicken is fried in a batter not too heavy to achieve crispiness and juiciness of the chicken at the same time, a true achievement. The habanero honey adds the perfect tinge of spice with the cheddar waffles. For people who have not had chicken and waffles, I understand the idea sounds confusing, but just try it. I promise it’ll blow your mind. Eataly Another must is the Eataly market in the Flatiron District. (I have a thing for markets.) Eataly is a chain with multiple stores throughout the world. The one in NYC is owned by celebrity chef Mario Batali and the Bastianich family. They have restaurants, counters, caffès and a market. There, you can find the best gelato, cannoli and pasta in the city. You can also buy goods like flour, sausage, seafood and all things Italian. They also host multiple workshops and happenings year-round. My favourite dish has to be the pappardelle at La Pizza & La Pasta. Homemade pasta are my weakness. Nagle’s bagels Coming from Montreal, I know a lot about bagels. I can proudly attest that NY bagels are clearly inferior to MTL's. Here are the key differences between both bagels:
BooksNYC Public Library (Stephen A. Schwarzman building) I generally have an aversion to libraries, but everything is always better in NYC. The Stephen A. Schwarzman building of the NYC Public Library system is the central and most important building of the system, it is also called the Main Branch. Built in 1911, the building is made mostly of marble with two lion statues (Lord Astor and Lady Lenox) who guard the main entrance. The Main Branch is known for the Rose Reading Room which looks like Belle’s library in Beauty and the Beast. My favourite part is the painting of the sky that hangs on the ceiling. It is like seeing a piece of heaven during long hours of studying. The library also has a bookshop for tourists with plenty of little knickknacks to bring home.

Perhaps NYC’s most famous independent bookstore, the Strand is an institution. It is 18 miles (!) of books. That’s about 2,5 million books in the middle of NYC. In addition to an up-to-date department for new books, it has a huge used book section where you can find everything from Advance Reader Copies to signed copies to original editions for a cheap price. The store also has a rare books department. It is a paradise for every literary nerd. If you ever have 4 500$ laying around, you can get a first edition of The Hound of the Baskervilles by Arthur Conan Doyle or an inscribed custom-bound first edition of Curious George Goes to the Hospital by Margaret & H. A. Rey. Feel free to comment down below your favourite parts of NYC! Xx. Duration: 6 days (more like 4 because we landed late at night and left early in the morning) Group: Two adults, two adolescents (under 21) Four years ago, I stayed in the Club Med in Sandpiper Beach (around Fort Lauderdale) in Florida, United States of America, and I hated everything about it. Staying on the beach and doing nothing for a couple days drives me crazy. It makes me feel unproductive and like I’m wasting time. I would much rather be exploring the culture and the history of the place I’m visiting than lounging on the beach. Looking back on it, it was probably the “resort” format that I hated, and not Florida itself yet I carried this resentment towards Florida as a whole. When my family and I settled for Miami to visit during the March Break, I was mildly excited. We usually never travel during March for schedule reasons and I was desperate to go away, yet I was reminded of Sandpiper Beach and my disappointment. However, I decided to hit Miami with an open mind and it was worth it. Miami was the penultimate city on the American East Coast that I wanted to visit before I die (next is Washington D.C). Its history from being a Spanish settlement to being a colony of France, Britain and Spain, to hosting mass migration from Cuba and Haiti, was fascinating to explore. The city’s architecture of skyscrapers, Spanish villas and Art Deco shops shows the diversity of Miami, honouring the past yet looking at the future. It really is a melting pot of history, leisure and tourist attractions. Sorry to everyone whom I denigrated Florida because I was wrong. Miami will see me again. I am in no way an expert of Miami, as I said it was my first time being in the city. This itinerary just explains what I did or thought to be essential for a 4-day visit, but I probably missed some very important things. Always consult local websites when planning a trip to find the best gems for you and your group. N.B.: All pictures featured were taken by CB. Thank you. Day 1: Beach day “Wait, didn’t you just say you hated laying on the beach and doing nothing?” Yes, I did, but that was four years ago. I decided to try it out just for one day again to see if my tastes had changed, and they did! It was tolerable! I won’t lie by 3-4pm I was getting tired of looking at the ocean, but it had also been a while since I last saw the Atlantic, and even longer since I swam in it. Our hotel, Grand Beach Hotel, had direct access to Miami Beach, and it was perfect. The beach was clean and full of seashells. The waves were strong and shattered against the sand in the iconic sound. Obviously, the ocean might not be the best place to bring young children since the stream is very strong. We brunched at our hotel’s restaurant, Chez Gaston, which was overpriced. However, one must try all the fruits in Miami. The travel time from farm to table is much shorter than in Montreal, therefore, they taste fresher and sweeter. We had dinner at Sardinia Enoteca Ristaurante on a friend’s recommendation and it was the best food of the trip. The mozzarella bar tasting platter with all 100% homemade mozzarella was exceptional. Everything from the pasta to the pizza was made from scratch and it tasted like Italy (at least what I imagine it to taste like). Day 2: Outer boroughsWe started the day visiting the Villa Vizcaya, John Deering’s winter residence, built in 1912. The house’s architecture is inspired by the Italian Renaissance of the XVIth century. The Villa itself is gorgeous, but the true magic lies in its gardens. We saw at least two quinceañera and one wedding photoshoots in them. It is the best place to see Florida’s lusciousness. Palm trees and mangroves were dancing side-to-side with colourful orchids. It’s kind of like a mini-Versailles. For lunch, we headed to Little Havana at the famous Versailles, the most famous Cuban restaurant in the world! It felt like being thrown back in communist Cuba with all the waiters dressed in 50s-style outfits and serving classics like the Cuban sandwich with sweet ham and Swiss cheese. You can truly feel the pulse of the Cuban community in Versailles. I wish I had explored more of Calle Ocho and Little Havana (the Bay of Pigs War Museum sounds particularly interesting), but alas, there was not enough time. Day 3: Arts and Science*Pictured is art by Andrea Bowers, Penetrable BBL Blue 2/8 by Jesús Rafael Solo, and For Those in Peril on the Sea by Hew Locke The day started with breakfast at the hotel Edition. Many of the best places to eat in Miami Beach are in hotels. Since there is so much competition for hotels on the island, owners have to differentiate themselves notably with the best food. I promise they don’t taste like hotel restaurants. Then, half of the group decided to stay at the beach while the others (including me) headed downtown Miami to explore the famous Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM). The PAMM is now one of my favourite contemporary art museums. Not only does it have a beautiful sculpture garden overlooking the bay, but it also has a great collection and expositions. I particularly appreciated Within Genres which observed the five different genres of Western paintings (still life, landscapes, scenes of everyday life, portraiture and history painting) and how they can be reinterpreted with a modern approach. A C I D G E S T by Haroon Mizra, For Those in Peril on the Sea by Hew Locke and The Words of Others: Léon Ferrari and Rhetoric in Times of War were also standouts. We crossed the Museum Park to enter the Philip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science (FS). The FS is a little bit of everything. It has a planetarium, an aquarium, an exposition on the human brain and a few birds and snakes. The planetarium is like the one in Montreal with the dome ceiling that projects shows like Dynamic Earth (narrated by Liam Neeson!) Usually, I am not a fan of aquariums because I hate seeing fishes and animals being trapped in a small space with nowhere to go, but the FS only has small animals and fishes that don’t need that much space. The aquariums are huge and not overcrowded, and represent the ecosystems of Florida’s coastline. Coming back on Miami Beach for dinner, we went to Cecconi’s which has a gorgeous little terrace and fed me the best baked gnocchi. Day 4: Shopping and thunderstormWhen one goes to the United States, one has to shop at all the stores not available in Montreal. The dollar is not in Canada’s favour now, but you can’t skip past the opportunity! Lincoln Road Mall is an outside mall designed by Morris Lapidus (architect of the Fontainebleau and the Eden roc hotels) in the MiMo style (Miami Modernist architecture) so it is both architecturally interesting and a nice shopping spots with American classics like Macy’s and fancier spots like Ladurée macaroons.
We had lunch at Dirt Restaurant near the mall which was the quintessential hipster spot with poke and salad bolls, green juices and funky flavoured water. Then it started pouring rain which ruined our afternoon. I would have loved to visit Wynwood District and see all the graffiti and art galleries, but alas weather was against us! Hopefully next time I land at MIA I will be able to complete my Miami checklist. I would love to come back once I am old enough to experience the traditional Cuban bars and salsa dance classes. Miami has a lot to offer, and I can’t wait to come back! |
