Last night we went to visit the #Punjab Pavilion. The small
country of Punjab is located in the north of #India. Population 28 million.
Apparently, there are around 800 000 people from Punjab living in Canada. They
started coming to Canada
in early 1900. Something I didn’t know.
The show was entertaining and vibrant. Beautiful costumes
and the dancers put on a great performance. The form of #martial arts displayed
was interesting and looked dangerous. They used sticks and swords and small
shields. Apparently, it was not rehearsed. The only thing I didn’t care for was
the loud music. I don’t know why they always have to crank up the speakers to
maximum. Especially the bass was much too loud. My chest was vibrating and it
made me feel uneasy. My wife had the same reaction. That can’t be healthy.
Maybe I sound like a broken record complaining about the loud music, but I have
a problem with noise. My hearing isn’t that great anymore because of the years
of working in a noisy environment. I’d like to keep what I still have left.
You just can’t enjoy music if it is played so loud that the
speakers vibrate. Music needs to be played at a level that you can relax and
listen to. Ironically, when we drove home, there was a car behind us with open
windows. They had their speakers turned so high that our car was vibrating so
badly I though we’d bounce right of the road. Either those 2 guys in the car
were already deaf from constantly listening to such loud noise or they were on
the verge of going deaf.
We ate #butter chicken and it tasted great. It was quite
spicy, but we love spicy food. It cost $12.00 and you got a few pieces of
butter chicken, salad, chick peas or beans, plenty of rice, and a very sweet
desert ball dipped in honey. We drank #Indian beer (Fisher) for $5.00 each. It
didn’t taste any different from our local beer, which would have cost $4.50,
but it was just the idea drinking imported beer.
We can recommend the Punjab Pavilion. If you don’t mind loud
music then go there.
