Toronto Canada - a travelogue

[Boner_18]

Flew in around 1030 on a CRJ out of JFK. Losta jews in first class. One of them farted really loud while waiting the terminal.

Took public bus (ride the rocket) 192 to kippling station transferred to another subway to st. Andrew.

i paid for the bus with 3 one dollar Canadian bills i got from my bank in Nyc and the driver laughed at me - "dude those paper bills are rare.." WTF dude, could have given me a heads up.

Gonna get food downtown. Then off to rogers cup tennis.

Couple tips:

-Don't exchange money at the bank, go to a place I think it's called Guardian currency exchange (in St. James Square near Yonge St.) which does it for less than 1% I think while a bank is usually around 3%

-Visit The Albatross in Etobicoke and order the borscht

-Buy a $20 Greyhound ticket to Niagara falls and get a few dances at Sundowners

No time for Niagara... Been there beofre, but not sundowners...maybe will fit in woodbine... Doubtful if i can convince the wife to go.

just went to cibo wine bar for a bite, food was fine. I paid with cash and they rounded up to the nearest dollar!! WTF is that!?! I get there are no pennies... But they rounded off .17... Is that a thing here?

Don't go to Rogers Cup.

Despite what anyone tells you, that is not Toronto.

Im just talkin shit. Hope it was a good time.

Jays games are usually a good time. The Rogers Centre sucks though. Have you ever been?

Just an incredibly unremarkable stadium.

[Boner_18]

Rogers cup was fine. Good seats and good tennis... Canadian tennis fans are terrible. I felt so bad for Feliciano Lopez, cheering between 1st/2nd serve, calling balls out, literally yelling during ball toss, cheering wildly for double faults. The poorest display of tennis spectating ive ever seen.


Never been to a jays game, just ticking it off my MLB list.

[MoMoneyMoVaughn]

This is a country where the most popular sport encourages fighting and throwing things on the playing surface. Tennis should have stayed in the country clubs in canada. Too any drunk hockey fans.

[Boner_18]

So true Money. The Jays game was cool, I thought rogers was nice. Stadium was cooler in a lot of respects than Yankee. Don't like the old ramps and the fact that the upper deck concourse is closed to the field. Fans were legit tho, good fans, good time.

On our way to dinner some itallian joint on W King St. Then maybe some drinks out. So far Toronto has been pretty good.
