vonnie: Mont Tremblant, Quebec!

Visited 'Lac de Sable' (aka Lake of Golden Sand) & Mont Tremblant yesterday! HAha.. well, Lac de Sable is this really small town with REALLY rich pple who buy summer houses by the lake and probably leave it empty most of the time. Juz when you think the number of homeless pple in this world... that sounds really... 'nice'. Well, modes of transportations like bicycles, cars are basically replaced with sea planes, yachts/boats ( i mean BOATS and not sampan boats...) and garages for their mini-toys! HHAA.... WE took a cruise which brought us into the inner areas of the lake and got to see REALLY big houses.... and their mini toys of course. APparently, the land only costs 10 bucks CAD per square metre.... that adds up to around CAD$180,000 for a piece of land?! well, then again.... we haven even calculated in the construction/rennovation/maintenance part.... hahha...

NTL, the view was great! It was kinda surreal as you felt like you were entering into the forgotten land.... HAHA.. where civilisation and society doesn seem to be a part of this world... juz trees, the sky and many beavers! hehehe...

mini cruise ship on lac de sable...

Thats the boat house btw... yes, it means a house for the boat....

See those tiny white specks in teh midst of greenery? those are the BIG BIG houses...

Following this, we headed to have lunch in the city area.... it was a quick bite cos hui qing and i were busy shopping at the factory outlets... again. HAHA>. we got a steal: a tommy hilfiger jacket for CAD$8.55 bucks after discount and discount and discount and further discount... you wonder how they could slash the price from CAD198 bucks to CAD98 then to CAD9.99 then CAD8.55. HAHA>. then you realize, that humans are juz conscious-minded pple who wouldn mind paying the price for the brand. WEll, i want the brand, but not the price... hehhee... i'd like to think that i'm the smarter bunch fo these 'conscious-minded pple'....

Had another half an hour's drive to MOnt TRemblant. It's an island where the ski resort remains as the centrepiece of attraction. The place looks REALLY great as we got to view the moment when the leaves turn red, followed by a lighter shade of yellow which eventually fall, and the land turns into a white sheet! HAha... Again,, the WHOLE mont tremblant ski mountain is owed by this SUPER rich guy who created this ski mountain concept like 30 years ago!? but it wasnt popular till recent years... what can i say, this SUPER Rich guy thought far...
