What does the word tourist really mean anyway? Often it’s used for an outside person visiting a country that’s not there home, but on this weekend I felt like a tourist in my own country. I have lived in Toronto for almost two decades and still there are attractions I […]
Yes we have these in Canada, public places to do your laundry. It can be quite a mission, to pack up your laundry basket in order to bring them to the laundromat, but there are positives here. For one, it takes less time because there are many machines plus they […]
July 1, 2013 is Canada’s Independence day. People celebrate in different ways- most use it to spend time with family and friends at BBQs in the backyard or at camp grounds. Others go crazy and attend the different activities within the city- different parades and so forth. Since it’s a […]

Yea, another dinner date on another weekend. I told you, this is the thing to do here. Dinner was at 6pm, I arrived promptly at 5:58 in the parking lot, casually walked towards the door, where it was held open by another guest coming to eat dinner at the same […]
