The following are Canadian inventions: Basketball, Pictionary & the Telephone.
Can you believe they have a phone company here named Bell after Alexander Graham Bell? How cheesy is that? As cheesy as Chiitos I say. Gross.
Toronto, abbreviated TO has other redeeming qualities that I'm learning to discover....
Almost every other block has a payphone. I have yet to find a nonworking one. Efficiency & public service hooray!
I haven't seen any hobos or beggars on the subway. Good social assistance programs.
Downside: They tax you for EVERYTHING....When I buy something I automatically add a few extra dollars to the listed price because that's ultimately the real price...I never did quite understand why the price isn't listed inclusive of the tax.
I did mean to write a post about pizza, but I don't think I'll be doing much pizza eating. Meanwhile- gotta live through this week. Been here almost a month. Gotta just become & embrace the term Torontonian.
I hereby renounce my New Yorker ways & learn some manners & cleanliness!!
