the men... by god the men
so i took a little trip to toronto which included a day trip to niagara falls but more on that later, i'll start with toronto.
not a bad city but not the best either. it got a little pretty but nothing fantastic. i went to Casa Loma which i really liked. its... let me give you the hostels description "Casa Loma - is a genuine twentieth-century castle built by a genuine eccentric millionaire, who later went genuinely broke and died in genuine poverty". it was genuinely cool. so i got lost in there for 5 hours the first day then went back to the hostel and met a lot of really nice people, including 2 brazilian guys and 1 really arrogant bastard that was trying to hit on me. now this guy was tall, gorgeous and sounded like denzel washington - so far not a problem but then he opened his mouth (de ja vu) but let me tell you i would have preferred a high-pitched OKAAYYYY but instead i got a guy so full of himself it made me sick. he was the type of guy that was doing you a favour by letting you be near him. i also had the feeling i was last in a long line of the days attempts at picking up. he tried everything from singing to me to war stories and doing the whole 'i just need someone to hold me' type of shit and when he realised it wasnt working he called it a night but parted with a sigh and "well im in room 201 - just come up ok - 201" to which i reply 'dutiably noted' and then he turned to the brazilian guy and said 'she's a lot of work' but he thought i didnt hear. then he had the audacity to come back 30 mins later and said 'so are you coming?'... HELL NO!!!!! i stayed up so late playing cards with the brazilian guys that i didnt wake up for the niagara tour the next morning and at 8:25 the tour guide is banging on my hostel room door sayin everyone is on the bus. so i run out in the rain with shoes and socks in my hand and jacket over my arm. off to niagara!!!
it was raining and miserable but it wasnt too misty at the falls so we got a good view. i went in the tunnels but the maid of the mist stops operating at the end of october so i missed that by like... a day! it was beautiful though. then we went to this little town that was out of hollywood perfect. im talking, you walk down the street and there is one perfect house after another and its raining but youre not really getting wet it just sounds pretty and the trees line the street and the autumn leave are falling and all over the ground - cue cute possum to run across the footpath and run up a tree (i shit you not it happened twice). then we went wine tasting... this was a GREAT part of the trip. they are quite generous with the portions so i was singing on the way back in the bus - as were a lot of people. i tried the ice wine which just means they pick the grapes when they are frozen in the middle of winter and it makes a really concentrated sweet desert wine that is really really expensive and really really really damn good. only canada can make it every year, some european countries can make it but the winter isnt always cold enough so they arent consistent.
i got back to the hostel that night to find a sign on my rooms door saying 'all residents of this room must change rooms immediately - please see reception' turns out the room had bed bugs or something and they wouldnt give us a new room until we washed every single item we owned which meant there goes my plan of having a nap before hitting the bars - i get to do laundry instead! and because i had to wash my jacket and sneakers and couldnt put them in the dryer i couldnt go out because they were all wet! so i got drunk and played cards and drinking games with the brazilian guys. i kinda got with one of them (i feel like im 16 again) and it sucked that i was leaving the next day but eh... we'll see if we stay in touch, i hope we do i wanna go to brazil.
before i got the train back today i went and saw toronto's walk of fame which is a very small scale hollywood thing. the plaques on the sidewalk thing. i went to a show museum cos i figured you dont see THAT in many countries - it was cool, a few other little sites and came home to find out that inga was leaving the apartment for the night as the shit hit the fan after i left. apparantly its my fault for not being here and keeping her sane and she cant study and she needs to get work done so she left... hmmm...
oh but before i go i have to say to the girls... oh my god the men. the guys in toronto are all so gorgeous, its so unfair. but the good news is there are hardly any good looking girls so we could totally clean up here! i think its something you should all consider. i had this plan where you all come over and we round them up and take them home with us and leave the ugly girls to breed with the left over ok looking guys and then australia will have a better looking generation to come for our children. i think its something we should invest in for the future of the kids - bugger this clean air crap!
