Wow, can't believe that i've spent 4 days in Toronto already. It has all whizzed by - there's just heaps to do here. The hostel here is also the friendliest that I've encountered on this trip, and possibly has the most Aussies in all of Toronto :P There are Aussies working at the front desk, in the kitchen and even around the hostel doing renovation work. Just can't get away from them!
Toronto has been mostly awesome. Saw a musical on Sunday, called "Wicked". It's based on the Wizard of Oz, but from the witches' perspective. Susie and I took our chances on trying to score cheap last-minute tickets - we lined up at the box office two hours before the show started and entered our names into a lottery for discounted box seats (the ones off to the side of the stage). Winners get to purchase those tix for $25, which usually for for $99 (!!).
And we won!!! Yayy!!! It was an awesome way to pass a Sunday afternoon.
Went on a pub crawl on Sunday night - needless to say, half the group were from Oz. I think the words "pub" and "crawl" just draw any Aussies within earshot, like moths to a flame. Was pretty interesting - we went to a few different kinds of pubs and bars (the names of which escape me now), and at the last one we saw some live music too.
I have hardly been able to find decent coffee in Canada. Until the day I came across this one (photo to come). It sat unassumingly next to a nut and candy shop, and after the first, slow, anticipatory sip - I melted with the smooth, somewhat nutty, espresso-with-soy-milk flavour. Couldn't help but tell the guy behind the counter "Do you know how long I've been searching for good coffee around here parts?!" - or something to that effect.
Photos to come! (If at all. You know how lazy I am).
Woohoo! You can now view Toronto pics here.
