A Visit to Toronto, eh: Day 1
A roadtrip to America's hat.For the 4th of July, I ventured into the country known for their mounties and grizzly bears. It was the land of hockey and maple syrup, two of my least favorite things. So what better way to celebrate America's independence by having it in another country filled with the aforementioned? Canada, here we go!
Ghost riding. Better than cruise control.
How the who the what the you spell it now? Huh?
Lots of driving. Lots of bugs.
Viagra falls.
Even more driving. 6 hours at this point. Even more bugs.
Tim Hortons (they're everywhere in Canada) aka Dunkin Donuts for the US folk.
The border checkpoint. It was worse than waiting on line at Disney World during a summer month.
Time taken: 2:32pm EST.
Time taken: 2:51pm EST.
Distance traveled: 12 feet.
FML.
We finally arrive at the hotel.
Not shabby, but what's with the 70's themed paint on the bathroom door?
The view out the window. Perfect for planning your suicide.
View from down the 8th floor.
Celsius? What is this alien nonsense?
Hotel fit for a wedding. Or cheesy infomercial set?
You know you're in an Asian part of town when...yeah. There's more color on that kid's hair than a preschool's coloring book.
We ordered the beef, but it wasn't as humorous as I thought it would be. Perhaps the fly in the dish was the joke?
Yeah, I want some "Fok Kin" fried rice! /slams chopsticks down.
Insert cancer here.
The pool which was closed due to an "accident". Some kid crapped in it. Awesome job!
"The Manager" calling Ricky.
Pregaming Canadian style.
The greater north Xanga meet up.
Too tall.
Just right.
Boobie pillows, anyone?
Something's up with this photo. I just can't put a finger on it.
The inadvertent leg shift by Viv turned what was a PG photo into something far more risque.
Fitting in with the fobs we befriended at the lounge.
Okay, I don't even know where to begin with this photo--so much going on. All I can say is "THUMBS UP, BOY!"
Poutin. It's not (vomit) as bad (vomit) as it looks (vomit).
Drunken munchies.
Sylvie's questionable eying of the crotch and provocative positioning of utensil. Hmm...
Spiff's cheek. Pinch here!
The phone # hoarders.
Wait, if Viv is driving and she's taking the photo...who's...? err...
Always the nose.
Someone left a bite mark that I have to this day. No names... /glare

LOL Justin, Viv, Stef, Tones. If you are the guy in the striped shirt, i like how your hand is on Viv's knees lol.
Smoke's Poutinerie!
Did you stay in Richmond Hill? It looks like your hotel is near Warden&7.
POUTINE IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If it weren't so bad for you I'd eat it like once a week.
Yay to Tor0nto.
lolz beef in Funny style
poutin gagged me. thanks.
om om om
TIM HORTONS <3
yay for cheap coffee <3
also why does your poutine look so nasty. that stuff is soooo good
looks like fun! canada here i come!
Certainly not the Toronto I know.
someone drives an audi.
Damn your hotel looks like it could have a rock-climbing wall.
harhar fok kin fried rice
haha. What did you do to earn that bite?
Dude. Glad to see a familiar face around. I tell you, disappear for a while and everything looks different. I got like 127 subs last night and I only know 10 of them.
The Poutin you got looks nasty. I'm going to do Poutin the right way on CHOW, and I swear the shit is good if you have it made right. Its like when you go to a shitty chinese restaurant and order something that should be good, but it comes out like ass. But when you go to the real chinese restaurant and order the same thing, it's actually good.
I can make Fok Kin Fried Rice, actually lol. I don't know about Beef in Funny Style though.
Toronto Ontario Canada is an awesome place that I know well because I lived and worked there for 25 years. Now, I have lived in Palmerston North, NZ for 20 years and I love it too for many different reasons. I loved your photos and comments! You are so totally enchanted by the new sights, aren't you? BUT
In either country I would never drive with my feet up on the car window for fear of an accident. Did you know that NZ is now banning cell phone use in cars? It is said that about 45/200 car accidents are caused by using a cellphone and as a consequence, insurers are no longer paying for death or damages, if that is the source of the problem.
I wish we could make a rule to stop the use of weapons and aggression which is war. We should charge the army for loss of life and damages to people - to our own soldiers (NZ is sending 60 SAS soldiers for direct combat as I speak) and the Afghanistani and Taleban. It is not enough to blame and jail the ones at the top. You know who I mean, don't you?
Someone on radio talkback said one way is to not look back in anger at what already happened eg religion because it just gets worse and leads to more conflict. It is true. We need leaders to say these things and not get involved with political agreements like war which just lead to more destruction of our world's people. We need leaders who are humane, not warmongers! Can we not improve the human race in this way by not bringing up the bad ways of behaving?
Sincerely Dianne
@mycontinuity -
I never heard of that rice before.What a weird name. Is that chinese or what? There is a meal at the chinese restaurant here where we live and it is called pu-pu platter.Everytime I see it on the menu I crack right up.
Yar.
haha. your hotel is like a 5 min drive from my house
did you eat dinner at fmp or peachtree centre? - my guesses lol
or market village/pmall?
which one of you is chinese?
audi eh?
i couldn't help but notice that in one of the pictures it looks like you're missing part of your thumb.
