Apr 19 – Things That I Miss About Toronto
- Second Cup Vanilla-Hazelnut Lattes!
- all my friends and their stupidness!
- going out to eat and all the different choices for eating out and how relatively cheap it is! I have never eaten out in Switzerland since I got here, except for when I went to Laax
- multiculturalism
- all my favourite brands
- Japanese buffet!
- Tim Horton’s! This is especially true for the one in Stayner, ON (best Timmy’s I’ve ever been to – and consistently so)
- reasonable prices!
- driving! Here, I walk everywhere, which I really enjoy, but I still miss driving and listening to music at the same time. Also, sometimes I’m too lazy to carry groceries all the way up the stairs.
- my music!!! So far, my internet is not fast enough to listen online :( and I have no mp3’s on the laptop I borrowed from Goo. They play easy listening and old pop here. I miss my bands! Aghhhhh
- being taken care of at home
- desserts from my favourite bakery (Sweet Comfort at Wilson Heights and Sheppard Ave., next to Goo’s variety store. Ask him for directions. You should really try it if you get the chance to)
- all my clothes and shoes that I left there, although I am building a new collection
- Tropicana OJ with lots of pulp! I haven’t even found real orange juice here that’s not from concentrate. Even if I do, I doubt I’ll be able to afford it.
- Chinese rice! I’ve been eating medium-grain rice and it’s just not the same at all
- Grazie (Italian restaurant at Yonge/Eglinton)
- coconut cream pie. I’m gonna try to make it on my own, but I dunno if it’s such a good idea…
Ok. So, for all of you people living in Toronto right now, we really take some things for granted. Personally, I really like to try new and different foods. Here, I’ve met a lot of people who haven’t tried very many things and it makes me feel really lucky to have experienced such a mix of cultures in Toronto.
