Hometown: Toronto, Ontario, Canada
I'm bit of a nerd/geek in the process of planning a long awaited trip to Japan. Winning the lottery would surely expedite this process.

I'd never been before and due to the fact the show was late, I decided to stay overnight. I booked a room in their onsite hotel. It was pricey at almost $250.00 CAD a night, but hey, it was a Birthday present to myself. The journey began with a bus ride from my apartment to the subway. From there I went to Dundas station. After departing the subway, I hiked a few short blocks to the Toronto bus terminal. It only cost $10.00 for a two hour ride to Rama, Ontario. The ride was smooth, but because it was in the heat of summer, there was
