I am back!
And surprise, I was unable to find a parking spot in the Montréal downtown, I turned around in massive traffic jam for 1.25 hours without seeing a single parking meter. All of the residential street, you need a parking sticker.. every street in the downtown, sticker everywhere.
At some point the traffic was so dense.. my concern was not anymore about cymbals but how to get the hell out of there, I had to literally flee.
The place was massively crowded with joggers and people riding bikes, crazy car drivers all that on 3rd world country Montréal roads.
I am missing a lot of events here, like 2 separate discussions with the police. I am lucky if I don't get a radar photo ticket by mail for a red light.

This was a sign of life to tell me that it's not my time to get a cymbal. The Turkish company they didn't reply to my e-mail either so my money is going into my savings account, it's back to the practice pad simply.
I commit to this right now:
- No cymbal purchases for the next year, from now up to 2022-04-17.
- No more trips to Montreal using the car, next time (if there is a next time) it's going to be by collective transportation AND after Covid (Might be never)
- Money to be transferred in the savings account right now.
- I will think about practicing the Stick Control and the All American Drummer books instead of buying anything unless it's really necessary to replace broken gear.
Thanks for your participation.
Ah yes I went to visit my father after, he lives in Montréal, we ate pizza and drank beer, talked with people at the river. I am glad the police was away because there was quite a bit of COVID crimes there lol.
