Who said you couldn't get a good sushi experience in Rouyn-Noranda? This statement proved false yesterday night.
7 people got together in a huge kitchen and divided the task: 1 person on the nigiri, 1 on the makis, 2 on the tempura, 1 on the veggies, 1 on the rice and 1 to set table.
It was so awesome! The red tuna was excellent and so was the keta salmon. We had some trouble setting the tempura 
temperature to the right level and experienced some foaming in the electric fryer, but eventually Hugo managed to get it right and save the day! Some more technical problems with the second load of sticky rice that got spoiled by mixing silica in it instead of a japanese powder (which can be substituted for the rice vinegar mixture)... Oups!
The supper was perfect! We had the tempura as appetizer, then some nigiri sushi, sashimis and makis with sake. The dinner ended on fortune cookies with green tea. What else could have been done to make it better?... Not sure, really, it seemed complete to me!!!
I hope we can make this activity reoccur sometime before the end of summer. It was inexpensive, tasty, healthy and so much fun!

ARGHHHH! Let me out of this room!
How can you spend so much money on a movie and get such disappointing results?
Ok, here are the good points:
- good acting
- music by John Williams
- nice effects
Here are the bad points:
- incoherence throughout
- more incoherence and impossibilities
- horrible conclusion

Back into reading a bit, I've purchased recently the book called "Karla - Le pacte avec le diable". I couldn't find the original English version here in Rouyn and I was looking forward to read it so I got the translation.
So far so good. Stephen Williams' style is very descriptive and detailed. This is his second book on that case. The first one, "Invisible Darkness" caused him to do some jail time for non-respect of the judicial order of non-publishing of crimes videos. I will read it as soon as I find the English version.
This book does not focus only on the attacks made by the couple, but also depicts the judicial system in all its corruption and glory. A very interesting reading that provides an insight into Karla's psychiatric file from Dr. Arndt and shows 'how' a normal person can turn into a serial rapist/murderer.

Wow! Really Marie-Élizabeth, you chose a very nice place to find work!
I was very happy to receive news with such a cool postcard and I'm sorry to hear you are feeling lonely there. Hang on! This is only a phase to go through... Soon enough, you'll meet many Greeks and you won't have the time to write postcards or update
your blog anymore!
Thanks again for taking the time to keep us updated and make us dream about your adventures in Europe...
Pssst! your postcard is the first to test my scanner... ;)
