My first post would have been "What I miss about New York". But to be honest that's not how I feel. Why I like Toronto so far...
- Everyone says washroom instead of loo/restroom.
- I haven't found the black neighborhood yet
- People actually let you get off the subway before they get on
- The subway still uses tokens- kinda like the good ole days of Boston tokens! I hate the CharlieCard system
- No hobos on the subway
- The Eaton Ctr is safer than Times Square coz you don't have to strain your neck as much to look up.
- Not a Dunkin Donuts in sight. Phew
- I can tolerate Harveys & Tim Hortons & Timothys. Can't say the same about Micky D's & Starbucks...
- You don't have to swipe your pass on the bus- you kinda just flash it and they trust you!
- I'm forced to learn my ordinals. You're kind of expected to be a human compass/organic GPS. Duh.
- The city sleeps, and so do I
- Toronto is very green- less trash cans & most of the city recycles - even downtown!
- So many green spaces- parks. I feel so in sync with nature here and yet still connected to city life
Next post...the best pizza in Toronto...
