So I just go back from Toronto,Canada and I had a fabulous time : ). Me and my Caramel-coated sexy took a drive up to enjoy the world renowned Caribana parade. Let me first start by saying, Toronto is quite the cultural mixing bowl. I was surprised at how diverse the city actually was. It had very large population of Asians, might I add. We spent a lot of time in the usual hot spots of the city,like the Entertainment District, and the ever-buzzing Queen St. We did a lot of moving and shaking about the city,which was very clean. I'm talking trash cans on every corner ,with people actually being considerate enough to use them. The transit system was pretty cool too. . .and we had no long waits for any trains,buses,or streetcars,nor did we pay an arm and a leg to ride them(major bonus points). While roaming the city,we ate at local spots. I had some tasty Afghan food, I think I'll add that on my list of most liked foods. The parade was great! Who knew a parade could run from 10 in the morning to 6 in the Evening! One of the locals told us that they had been celebrating Caribana for the last few weeks. These people definitely know how to party. The night of the parade,My boo and I stepped out to the club called Guvernment. The club was nicer than most of clubs here in Baltimore. The only downer was that the DJ played all house music on the main dance floor. In the smaller room, they played R&B,Dancehall,Soca and Hip Hop. . .but none of the songs lasted for more than 30 seconds which was kinda annoying. I noticed that clubgoers were less grabby(Yaay no miscellaneous butt grabbing occurred ),but I also noticed that many of them weren't that interested in dancing either,which resulted in the dance floored being fully-occupied by people that should have been hugging the walls. Perhaps it was because the DJ was doing too much with the song changes. On the way back we stopped at Niagara Falls to behold a natural wonder. While walking to the falls,we did a little exploring of Clifton Hill. which was packed with all sorts of family activities and fair food. I hope one day in the future,I'll get to spend a little more time there. The over all trip was fun and necessary before I plunge head first in to the real world. I hope to return one day when our dollar is stronger. Perhaps I'll make a playlist of the songs that kinda fueled our journey and even post some short video clips of things throughout my trip. PEACE!
