TO exploding

So I went to Montreal and didn’t see the major propane explosion in Toronto.

It was my first time in Montreal and I found it oh so different from Toronto. Not only because of the language (which I do enjoy), but because of the people, the traffic, the subway. The subway is smaller and darker and older. Besides, the sound system there is worse: nothing as clear as the sometimes boring “the next station is King, King Station” and “arriving at King, King Station”. On the bus, nothing is said. I don’t have to tell you how easy it is to get lost.

And there’s more. If you go to stores like Apple or Sony you don’t feel as welcome as in Toronto: you can’t take pictures inside the Apple store and you can’t touch (yes, touch!) the computers at Sony’s. And from my point of view, Toronto is cheaper.

Conclusive thought: it was great and charming for visiting but Toronto seems so more organized, despite all of its problems.

TO has beaches

I’ve been watching more than writing. And going to the beach, sometimes.

Still here…

On Toronto

One thing that I really, really like about Toronto is the cultural mix. You get on a bus and you listen to several languages and accents. People are also dressed according to their culture so it doesn’t really matter how you’re dressed, how you speak, how you behave. Sometimes, of course, it’s a little hard to accept people sharing their cigarette’s smoke with you, people sneezing on your face, people competing for a place on the train. But, c’mon, let’s not be picky. Toronto has a lot to offer, as does the world with its cultural diversity.

Weather sucks, to be honest. It’s been raining everyday and we never know if it’s hot or cold; besides, air conditioners could be turned off most of the times. Environment friendly, you see. (Hmm, and by “you” I mean any of the 2,001 visitors of this blog. Including myself.)

Packing

So I’m headed to Toronto for some deserved vacation.
