The Day to Recharge

Finally I have gotten a day to recharge after rushing for a week. The gals are gonna redo what I have done in Toronto. Meanin I get to sleep! Haha.

They went to watch the Phantom of the Opera and also Hockey Hall of Fame as I lazed around the hostel. Hehe. I went with them to UofT once more as I did not really get to explore the place the other day. I like the pleasant surroundings but not the inside of the buildings as they looked old and gloomy.

I vow never to buy cup noodles anymore on a trip. Somehow it tasted super duper bad. No more 1 dollar fruits too. They are all too ripe. Argh!

The Day We Kissed Stanley

Its gonna be a really hectic day today. Began from packin in a rush to check out after we got up late. Thanks to clubbing last night.

First up was the hockey hall of fame. Was overwhelmed by the large number of jerseys and cup in display at the Hockey Hall of Fame. Got to try out a virtual hockey shooting game too. Well, as usual abuchi manage to do much better than me. Again proven that I could not do ball games. Sigh. Managed to kiss the Stanley Cup. Woohoo!

The ride up CN tower was the only good part of that attarction. We did not manage to get a good view of the town as the city was covered with smog on that day. Argh. The 30 bucks charged was way too expensive. The glassfloor lookout was not as good as calgary tower too and it cost only 7.50 in Calgary!

Rounded up toronto with some roadside hotdog van. Things that we could never fids in Calgary. Saw a pretty intersting road sign while buyin the hotdog too. Catchin a bus to Niagara later in the afternoon.

The Castle, Crepe and Creepy Phantom of Toronto

It was raining in toronto today. Argh. The strong blowing wind makes me feel like I'm back in Calgary again.

We did more walking today. The hike up to Casa Loma was nuts. We were so disappointed to see that the castle was just big but less impressive than the one in Victoria. Gave it a pass. Same goes for the other buildings round UofT. Big and old.



The walk around the uptown district was just so so. We however manage to stumble upon some really nice shops while walking around the area. I luv the flavoured water at Pusateri the most. Kiwi, strawberry and lime. All mixed together. The crepe down queen street was amazing too.


The highlight of the day must be the Phantom of the Opera. Manage to get cheap student rush hour ticket. The mechanicals of the shows wereso impressive. The chandlier rising from the stage to the ceiling, the phantom descending to his secret room and the rooftop scene. The phantom gave a very impressive performance. More broadway shows please!

The first Day of the Month Long Travel

Was super sad to leave Calagry but excited to embark on this one month travel. I'll be meeting abuchi also. Guess its gonna be really enojyable and interesting too. Reached the hostel pretty early but found out that we had a really really small room. Can hradly even walk around. Slept while waiting for my buddy to arrive from montreal.

Went walking round the town and take lots of crazy snapshots. This it my fave of all .Haha. We did not went up the tower. Saving it for another day.

Weather was pretty fine. The searching for the restaurant part was so damn tiring. The advice is not to use a travel book from a couple years back because the shops miught closed down! I think we really did walk around the whole downtown tryin to find a place to eat.

Finally we settle for this place called Captain's Jack. The trout was humongous. We tried so hard to finish it up man. Longest dinner I ever had. Think the two of us stayed there for more then 1.5 hours. Thanks to the trout man.

Downtown was a vast different from Calagry. So alive and nice. I'm begining to like this place.
