This
past December 27th was the premiere of Nuit Blanche (All-nighter) in
Quebec, a special night where stores were open late and activities
were planned throughout the city. Coincidentally, it was also one of
the biggest snow storms of the year. The event took place at
the Marché du Vieux Port (Old Port Market), Place Royale and
the Quartier Petit-Champlain. Due to the storm, we had to leave the
car at home, so we decided to just take the bus to one location,
which, of course, had to be one of my favorites: The Old Port Market!
(or should I say, it's more like we choose to go there because it's
indoors! XD)
Since
we didn't go to the other two locations, I can't really say what they
were like; I only know that there was supposed to be some ice
sculptures shown, a DJ, some live performances, and late-night
boutiques until 2h. At the market where we went, they featured a live
gospel choir that sang until about 22h30. Besides that, it was also a
great oppotunity to explore some boutiques and food vendors in the
late hours (since the market usually closes at 17h).

The
minute we walked in, people came over to offer us some hors d'oeuvres
right away. Since this event was free, we did not expect to get any
delicate hors d'oeuvres like these.

一入會場,馬上就有工作人員很友善的招待我們一些一口塞小點心,由於這個活動是免費的,我們壓根兒沒想到可以吃到這樣精緻的食物,對於蕭貪的我簡直樂翻天了!
