Duc C. Nguyên @duccnguyen.bsky.social · 01/09/2026One month. Two countries. Zero regrets. I’m at YUL and officially entering vacation mode. Japan first, China next… and somewhere along the way, my suitcase will probably be 90% snacks. 😬 #Montreal #AirFranceLoungeSalonAirFrance 100
Duc C. Nguyên @duccnguyen.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Tomorrow I’m leaving for a month, and somehow I think my husky already knows. He found my clothes, curled up on them, and decided that if he can’t come with me, at least he can sleep surrounded by my scent. 🥹 #Montreal 120
Duc C. Nguyên @duccnguyen.bsky.social · 30/08/2026I’m taking my mimosa with a grapefruit twist: bright, bubbly, slightly tangy, and dangerously easy to sip. Paired with fresh watermelon, this is exactly how I like to start the brunch. 🍊🥂🍉 #PielCanela #Montreal 100
Duc C. Nguyên @duccnguyen.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Executed at the height of his mature period, Structure rythmique vert-bleu (1966) exemplifies Guido Molinari's commitment to stripping art of representational distraction to focus entirely on visual sensation. #Montreal #GalerieHeffel 110
Duc C. Nguyên @duccnguyen.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Spotted this gem on Crescent Street, a 1991 Nissan Figaro in Emerald Green. Produced only in 1991 for the Japanese market, this retro beauty is one of just 20,000 ever built. Love finding these unique design icons in the city. #Montreal 010
Duc C. Nguyên @duccnguyen.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Getting to see the artists in action in broad daylight is my favorite part of the Under Pressure Festival! Here’s the artist Polo creating a new piece. #SurplusInternational #Montreal 100
Duc C. Nguyên @duccnguyen.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Here, surrounded by trees, open sky and the rhythm of the city, it’s easy to forget that downtown Montréal is just steps away. This is what I love about Montréal: a city where history, architecture and urban life can suddenly give way to a quiet, almost bucolic moment. #MonumentMacdonald #Montreal 130
Duc C. Nguyên @duccnguyen.bsky.social · 28/08/2026I went all in with the Famous Super Sandwich: mustard, a glorious 10 ounces of fatty smoky rye bread. Add creamy coleslaw, crispy fries, a crunchy pickle and a Black Cherry Coke, and you’ve got the kind of meal that requires both hands and absolutely no regrets. #ReubensDeliSteakhouse #Montreal 100
Duc C. Nguyên @duccnguyen.bsky.social · 27/08/2026I don't have kids, so no back-to-school photo with a backpack bigger than the child. However, here's my back-to-school experience: 8 hours of sleep, bubbly on a patio, and absolutely no mental strain related to a school project on volcanoes. You too can thrive in life. 😏🥂 #Montreal 110
Duc C. Nguyên @duccnguyen.bsky.social · 27/08/2026#RIPYayoiKusama is gone. I was lucky enough to experience her work in Montreal, but visiting her museum in Tokyo was something truly special. Stepping into her world of dots, mirrors, and infinity felt like entering the imagination of someone who refused to see the world like everyone else. #Tokyo 120
Duc C. Nguyên @duccnguyen.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Happy #InternationalDogDay to the dog who is technically my son, but also clearly plotting against me. Found you 4 years ago and I’ve been happily giving you food and pets ever since. And that’s your ‘are you DONE yet?’ look. I guess I know my place. I love you, you fuzzy curmudgeon. 🥹 #Montreal 170

Duc C. Nguyên @duccnguyen.bsky.social · 25/08/2026I found Cœur d’enfant, created in 2019 by artist Assia, to be a remarkably moving piece of public art. It offers a powerful symbolic expression of childhood resilience supported by a strong foundation of care. #HopitauxShrinerspourenfantsCanada #Montreal 100
Duc C. Nguyên @duccnguyen.bsky.social · 24/08/2026The row houses showcase classic Queen Anne and Second Empire influences, from intricate stamped-metal cornices and decorative finials to classic red brick facades and turreted silhouettes. Most of these residences weren’t designed by single high-profile starchitects, #Montreal 110
Duc C. Nguyên @duccnguyen.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Answering the call of my filipino appetite with this massive, mouthwatering Kamayan platter at Cuisine De Manille! From crispy Lechon Kawali and golden Lumpias to sweet Longganisa and zesty Atchara salad, this feast is a true taste of home. And look at that mountain of garlic rice! #Montreal 100
Duc C. Nguyên @duccnguyen.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Nude Woman with Bird and Flute Player (1967) is a piece from Picasso’s late, energetic, and raw period. The thick brushstrokes and expressive style give a real sense of immediacy and almost desperate creative energy, as if he were racing against time. #Albertina #Vienna 120
Duc C. Nguyên @duccnguyen.bsky.social · 22/08/2026I’ve always believed that some of the best moments in a city don’t require a tasting menu, or a grand plan. Sometimes, it’s just a cold beer at the end of a long day. At Griechenbeisl, one of Vienna’s oldest restaurants, I sit back with a fresh Gösser and let the city slow down #Vienna 100
Duc C. Nguyên @duccnguyen.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Built between 1896 and 1899 to store the city’s gas supply, these four monumental brick cylinders, each reaching 70 meters high, were decommissioned in 1984. Rather than demolishing them, Vienna transformed the historic complex into a thriving vertical village in 2001 #Vienna #WienerGasometer 110
Duc C. Nguyên @duccnguyen.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Designed by modern architecture pioneer Otto Wagner in 1899, this private imperial pavilion was built exclusively for Emperor Franz Joseph I. Talk about the ultimate private train station, even if the Emperor famously only used it twice in his lifetime. #Vienna 100
Duc C. Nguyên @duccnguyen.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Standing before the Austrian Parliament in Vienna, where classic Greek revival design honors the very birthplace of democracy. Under the quiet gaze of Athena, feeling endlessly small yet deeply grounded in the presence of so much timeless beauty and historical grandeur. #ParlamentOsterreich #Vienna 110
Duc C. Nguyên @duccnguyen.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Standing inside Empress Elisabeth’s private bedroom and drawing room at Vienna’s Hofburg Palace. This space served as Sisi’s private sanctuary from 1870 onward, where her bed was actually stowed away each morning so the room could transform into her daytime salon. #SisiMuseumHofburgWien #Vienna 100
Duc C. Nguyên @duccnguyen.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Making magical memories at their very first Broadway experience! 🦁✨ Words can’t describe how excited I am to introduce my nephews to the stage, starting with the legendary The Lion King. Seeing the theater through their eyes makes the whole experience even more special. #Montreal 120
Duc C. Nguyên @duccnguyen.bsky.social · 19/08/2026I tested McDonald’s World Tour Menu so you don’t have to 😬 McExtreme Pulled Pork from Spain, Chicken Parmi Burger from Australia, 6 Garlic & Black Pepper Chicken McNuggets from Japan and Cheesy Bacon McFlavour Fries from France! 100
Duc C. Nguyên @duccnguyen.bsky.social · 19/08/2026I need to bribe my furry landlord with some serious belly rubs just to get permission to evict myself for a few hours. He’s a demanding roommate, but he pays rent in cuddles, so I guess I’ll keep him! 😒 #Montreal 000
Duc C. Nguyên @duccnguyen.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Cycling past this building and it is hard not to admire this 1927 gem. Designed by Quebec architect Raoul Gariépy, this Tudor-Gothic residence features striking red brickwork, intricate stone carvings, and a soaring corner turret. Home to the General Consulate of Lebanon since 1970, #Montreal 110
Duc C. Nguyên @duccnguyen.bsky.social · 18/08/2026I went for the beef short rib pho: a rich, aromatic broth, tender slices of beef, fresh herbs, bean sprouts, and that beautiful slow-cooked short rib on top. Comforting, fragrant, and absolutely loaded with flavour. This is the kind of bowl I could happily eat anytime. #RestaurantIAMPHO #Montreal 110
Duc C. Nguyên @duccnguyen.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Did you know? Cimetière et Complexe Funéraire Mont-Royal regularly offers free guided tours, in both French and English. Keep an eye on their social media for the next tour. You might be surprised by how much Montréal history is hiding among these trees. #CimetiereMontRoyal #Montreal 100
Duc C. Nguyên @duccnguyen.bsky.social · 16/08/2026I’m treating myself to a proper brunch with lobster Benedict: toasted English muffins, perfectly poached eggs, generous chunks of sweet lobster and silky hollandaise sauce, topped with little pearls of mullet caviar. Add crispy breakfast potatoes, fresh seasonal fruit and a glass of bubbly #Montreal 120
Duc C. Nguyên @duccnguyen.bsky.social · 16/08/2026By WCI LAB, framed by a oversized, sculpted number "25" and set against a soft, cloud-filled digital canopy, the vibrant magenta lighting provides a striking, high-contrast focal point. #新濠天地 #Macao 100
Duc C. Nguyên @duccnguyen.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Beyond its historic role as an 18th-century merchant guildhall and temple, the architectural details here tell a story of their own. This hand-painted door guardian (Men Shen) on aged timber stands as a classic symbol of protection and craftsmanship in traditional Chinese architecture. #關帝廟 #Macao 110
Duc C. Nguyên @duccnguyen.bsky.social · 15/08/2026A juicy, marinated pork chop tucked into a crusty Portuguese-style bun, with nothing to hide behind. Salty, crispy, tender and gloriously messy. This humble sandwich is a perfect expression of Macau’s Chinese-Portuguese culinary identity. #大利來記豬扒包 #Macao 100
Duc C. Nguyên @duccnguyen.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Walking through these whitewashed walls and golden-yellow archways, surrounded by Portuguese tiles and hidden Chinese frescoes inside the chapel, since 1622, I felt a deep sense of calm amidst the bustling city below. #東望洋炮台東望洋燈塔 #Macao 110
Duc C. Nguyên @duccnguyen.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Beyond the neon lights, Macau isn’t just Asia’s gaming capital, it operates on an entirely different scale. In 2025 alone, its casinos generated roughly $30.9 billion USD in gross gaming revenue. That’s more than double the total revenue of the entire Las Vegas Strip. #Macao #亞馬喇前地 100
Duc C. Nguyên @duccnguyen.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Built at a cost of $2.7 billion USD, The Parisian Macao spans over 490,000 m² on the Cotai Strip. Beyond its 13,000 m² casino floor (housing ~400 gaming tables and over 1,600 slots), #Macao 110
Duc C. Nguyên @duccnguyen.bsky.social · 13/08/2026A closer look on this cute house on Rue Coursol (c. 1875) in Montreal’s Little Burgundy. The facade features exceptional Victorian-era exterior woodwork, highlighting intricate fretwork balustrades, turned columns, ornamental brackets, and detailed dormer trim. #Montreal 100
Duc C. Nguyên @duccnguyen.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Montreal’s approach to public spaces has evolved so much. We’ve moved far beyond simple grass lawns and a few trees into thoughtful, climate-resilient urban design that actually breathes with the neighborhood. Seeing places like Place Boyer transformed into green sponge plazas #Montreal 110
Duc C. Nguyên @duccnguyen.bsky.social · 12/08/2026all-you-can-eat Japanese feast with friends: fresh salmon, sushi, grilled skewers, yakitori, seafood, and plenty of delicious little bites to keep coming. The kind of dinner where “just one more plate” somehow turns into three. 🍣🥢 #TaiyoCiteCentreville #Montreal 120
Duc C. Nguyên @duccnguyen.bsky.social · 11/08/2026A street corner, 2022.

Duc C. Nguyên @duccnguyen.bsky.social · 10/08/2026¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U bringing his signature Japanese underground sound to ÎleSoniq. 🇯🇵🔊 Montreal is glowing red, the bass is relentless, and the crowd is completely locked in. Tokyo energy meets Montreal rave chaos. #îlesoniq #Montreal 210
Duc C. Nguyên @duccnguyen.bsky.social · 10/08/2026NOVAH bringing Belgian hard techno to Montréal. 🇧🇪🔊 Her high-energy mix of hard techno, acid and euphoric trance turned ÎleSoniq into one massive rave. From Antwerp to Tomorrowland and now Montréal, she’s definitely one to watch. #IleSonic #Montreal 141
Duc C. Nguyên @duccnguyen.bsky.social · 09/08/2026A beautifully indulgent plate of braised beef shoulder, golden baby potatoes with caramelized onions, and crispy Brussels sprouts with tarragon. Topped with a perfectly fried egg and finished with a rich whisky-maple sauce. Savory, sweet, crispy, and incredibly comforting. #Montreal 150
Duc C. Nguyên @duccnguyen.bsky.social · 09/08/2026Long believed to be the lost Medusa painted by Leonardo da Vinci, a myth that spellbound 19th-century Romantic poets, this 17th-century oil on panel is now attributed to the circle of Dutch master Otto Marseus van Schrieck. #Florence #GalleriadegliUffizi 121
Duc C. Nguyên @duccnguyen.bsky.social · 08/08/2026In a museum filled with idealized marble figures and heroic poses, I Parassiti (1877) by Achille D’Orsi’s composition feels almost disruptive. Representing two ancient Roman “parasites”, men who secured meals at lavish banquets through obsequious flattery, #Florence 100
Duc C. Nguyên @duccnguyen.bsky.social · 08/08/2026A privilege to capture this: Michelangelo’s monument to Giuliano de’ Medici, Duke of Nemours (1520–1534). Look at how the entire space is designed by the artist himself. #florence 100
Duc C. Nguyên @duccnguyen.bsky.social · 08/08/2026Founded in 1872 by Enrico Rivoire, who served as the official chocolatier to the Royal House of Savoy, this place was built on the simple, uncompromising pursuit of mastering cacao #Florence 110
Duc C. Nguyên @duccnguyen.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Inside the private sanctuary of Eleonora di Toledo at Palazzo Vecchio. When the ducal family moved into the palace in 1540, Agnolo Bronzino was commissioned to create this masterpiece of Mannerist art. #CappelladiEleonora #Florence 110
Duc C. Nguyên @duccnguyen.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Long before gas or electric lighting, Florence’s narrow alleys were pitch-black at night. Local residents and guilds kept oil lanterns lit before these corner shrines, turning them into the city’s earliest public streetlights, guiding travelers, marking neighborhood boundaries #florence 120
Duc C. Nguyên @duccnguyen.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Haggis, creamy mashed turnips and potatoes, a generous drizzle of whisky sauce, and a sprinkle of toasted oats. Rustic, comforting, and packed with deep, savory flavors. Scotland definitely knows how to do comfort food. #RestaurantBruce #Montreal 120
Duc C. Nguyên @duccnguyen.bsky.social · 05/08/2026At the Shriners Hospitals for Children, the piece operates far beyond mere decoration. The Linda Covit’s Havre (2014) serves as an explicit manifesto for its function. Hospitals are inherently high-stress, clinical environments; Covit responds by offering a humanizing spatial sanctuary. #Montreal 110
Duc C. Nguyên @duccnguyen.bsky.social · 04/08/2026Moments like these remind me that quality of life isn’t always about grand adventures. Sometimes, it’s simply sunshine after the rain, a neighborhood full of life, and a city that makes slowing down feel like time well spent That’s one of the many reasons I’m grateful to call Montreal home #Montreal 010
