AJ had to work so I spent time on my blog and then went to Cosco with Anoja and Ashan and we got some amazing food such as Tony Roma's BBQ rib sandwich. We went to see AJ at work and I looked at the 3D TV which I wasn’t that impressed with. We went to Safeway's and then came back and watched the film Taken, which is excellent but a bit scary when you’re traveling. Saw AJ for a short while and then went to bed.... read more

We got up late and went to Polo Park to look around, it was a nice mall and was great to shop at different places with different brands. I was still pretty tired so I didn’t feel much like shopping but we still wondered around so I could see the area. It was nice to see new shops and look around. We drove to the Forks and had mini donuts which were amazing. We went to the top of the building were they had a balcony and then wondered by the river where there was a dog show on. A guy had 3 dogs which he was doing tricks with. We walked to John Terminal and looked about it all reminded me of outside markets just inside. We had a drink and then went home as ... read more

The train was half an hour but finally pulled in. I walked through and saw AJ and SY sitting there waiting. I was so happy to see them. We collected my luggage and then wen tfor breakfast at the Forks. We went to the pancake house and I had bacon, eggs, potato chunks and pancakes and syrup was amazing. We dropped SY at his and then went to AJs dropped all my stuff and I was able to shower which was really nice and we chilled out for a while. We went down to St Vital mall and looked about but I was so tired I didn't particularly feel like shopping. AJ had called in sick and we ran into his bosses girlfriend. He told his boss but he didn't mind. We took AJs car to ... read more

I hardly slept but just spend the day listening to my ipod and reading magazines. I ate so much as I had taken cookie, sandwiches, crisps and fruit (which I only ate an apple of). We stopped for an hour in the middle of know where, the only shops really were the valumart and a hardware store. It was nice to get fresh air and walk about though. I went for a proper meal which was great. I had soup and salad to start then roast beef and white chocolate and amaretto cheesecake which was heavenly, followed by coffee. There were 2 sisters on the same table and another girl who was traveling and I got chatting to the older sister and the girl traveling by herself. I tried to sleep again but failed as lights ... read more

North America » Canada » Ontario » Toronto May 6th 2010

I didn’t feel like doing much so just stayed at the hostel and cooked all the food I had left. I watched lots of CSI and a couple of films. I played poker with 2 Germain guys, 1 Germain girl and an Australian guy. I watched the guys play for a while and then joined in and had fantastic beginners luck and won nearly every time. I then headed to the train station. I waited around for a while and everyone who worked there was very helpful and friendly (one lady saved me $20 because she didn’t charge me for my bag being over weight). I boarded and found 2 seats by myself with plenty of leg room so I settled in and did my best to sleep.... read more

I met Ryan at CN Tower and we went across to the Steam Whistle Brewery. We waited for 5 minutes until they opened, there was another guy standing outside and when the doors opened he was in there finishing his free sample before Ryan and I had entered. We got a free sample and then booked the tour, which meant we had an hour and a half to go up the tower. Ryan had said he was scared of heights but I didn’t realise how bad until we went in the first elevator which went 114 stories. Ryan held the handle and wouldn’t look outside infact he put his sunnies on and looked in the corner. We then went up to the Sky Pod which was another 33 stories higher. It was amazing to be that ... read more

I walked down to Bay Hudson and looked around then went to the top for lunch. I sat opposite the Old City Hall, so managed to take great photos. I spoke to my parents and my brother (for the first time). I wondered about and into Dundas Square where a dance show was taking place. The first part I saw was called Nia - a type of relaxing dance for loosening your muscles mainly for older people. A man kept getting up and trying to do his own dance (I think he had mental disabilities) and security kept a close eye on him. Then there was hip-hop dancing where a guy was teaching just some of the audience to dance. One guy tried joining in at the end and looked ridiculous because he couldn’t do the ... read more

I doddled around and went up to McDonald's for breakfast although it was 12. I started walking back to the hostel as I wanted to ask about the weed march, was just interested to see what it was about. I ran into Mark who said he would show me. So we walked to Dundas Square and then asked a market stool keeper where it was. So we trekked up to Queens Park and got caught in the swarm of people going the same way. The march was basically a load of students (and couple of elderly people) who wanted to get high. They were protesting because in Vancouver you can smoke a joint anywhere including walking down the street (basically) but in Toronto you can only smoke in certain areas although parks are allowed just not ... read more

Again another start at 10 and after a shower and going on the internet it was about half 11 until I left. I managed to speak to Matt on facebook and then phoned him. I went and met him and Ryan and we went back to his. We then trekked down to the ferry port and went to Toronto Island. We wondered around but it was pretty cold even the though the sun was out, but it was a lovely place to be. We came back and went are separate ways. I came back cooked dinner and chilled out after getting some beer and played cards with Mark and Chris.... read more
