Looks like it's been awhile since I've updated.
In
case everyone's wondering, I'm doing ok. I was able to pass border
patrol and this American has not been deported... yet. So I've spent a
week and a half in Toronto at this point, and overall it's been an
interesting experience. I think my lil bro said it best when he stated,
"It feels like Bizarro USA". You think you're still in the states but
you're not. The signs are in English and French, and people dress a
little differently too. And EVERYONE SAYS "EH?" IT'S NOT A STEREOTYPE,
IT'S THE TRUTH!
Anyways, life has been hectic with work and
more or less trying to build your new life up in a new country. It's
very fortunate that Canadians are friendly towards US currency, which
made the transition that much easier. Finally found a pad in downtown
Toronto, which in case some are wondering, looks like this:

Ok,
it's not that nice, but it is in the same building. It's kind of a
small but cozy pad. I’m happy with it. Next up is a cell phone. Hey did
anyone realize that voicemail and caller ID are extra services in cell
phone plans in Canada? I couldn’t believe my ears when I heard that. Oh
yea, no National plans either. And if you leave the country, you’re
paying the full cancellation fee. Honestly the plans are a bit cheaper,
but then with adding the “extra services”, it comes out to be about the
same. This is the kind of adjustment I’m talking about. *sigh*
Other
than that, life consists of about work and sleep here. Can’t complain
though, makes the time go by fast. I honestly got homesick rather fast,
because, well, Toronto =/= NYC. Or even NJ. I think it’s just going to
take some adjusting to. This is not a hate on Canadians entry, although
that is fun. Just seriously, it’s amazing how some place only 8 hours
away from home is that much different. That and life without a car
makes things interesting. Maybe in time when I’m about to go mad, I’ll
bring the Lambda mobile back up if it is even able to make it up.
Apologies
for the boring entry, I will spicen it up with photos as they come in.
Life is good honestly, I’m just going through a good amount of
adjustments being in a new country and living on my own. :b |
