Toronto Trip

DAY #1
Took us 8 hr drive to get here. Of course we kept under the speed limit!! =P
Checked in at 8pm and went out to Congee Wong for a late dinner.
$12 Canidan dollars for dinner, but we didnt have any CAN dollars as of yet, so we decided to charge. Hmmm. It was a good idea until we tried to paid and the stupid waiter said they didnt take Mastercard or Visa.

Shit!! What to do?! We asked the waiter where was the closest cash station. He said there was none. Then we told him we would just give him a $20 USD which was equal to $27 CAN, but he didnt take it. What a dumbass waiter. You figure he would have taken it and cashed it out later. So we asked another waiter who promptly told us the closest cash station was 3 blocks away. So, here I go leaving Michelle at the table and racing down to the cash station. (BTW, its on Walden/Highway 7 if you guys care.) I parked and tried to get in the bank -- of course its locked and card-accessable so no-go. But there is hope ... because it has a DRIVE-THRU!!.

I drove back and bail Michelle out of our dilemma. Just seconds away from doing the dishes!!! OHHH.. What a Day #1!!

DAY #2
Nothing big today. We got Michelle a new pair of eye glasses. If anyone wants to get new glasses there is no place like Canada to get them (hehe.. kind of like prescription drugs). She goes ahead and picks out a pair of titanium MODO glasses from the first store we walk into. And with the RX she brought from Lens Crafters we get them to do it for $144 USD with Rx Lens included. What a deal considering US jacks the price up for any titanium glass frame to around 300-400 bucks itself!! And the cool thing about it was that it was done under an hour.

And of course we bought a bunch of DVD-9's of Chinese movies. Five movies for $13 USD. This time I don't need to buy bootleg ps2 games because of SuprNova!!!

So we have concluded that Canadian people shopping at Pacific Mall are:
1. Blind
2. Cell phone fanatics
3. Hair freaks
4. Fast FOOD freaks

beacause of the many eye glasses stores, cell phone stores, hair salons, Mcdonalds and Burger King (which are 24 hrs in Toronto)!!

Day #3
Went back to Pacific Mall. Michelle was contemplating on whether or not to get a new pair of sunglasses -- she decided that she will get it at a later time (after walking around the mall in circles for the millionth time). We got MORE Chinese movies (which brings the total to 10 DVDs).

1. Sex and the Beauties
2. My Wife is 18
3. Naked Ambition
4. Itchy Heart
5. Leaving Me Loving You
6. Magic Kitchen
7. Sound of Colors
8. Good Times, Bad times
9. Bichunmoo (Korean movie)
10. Dream of a Warrior

End the day by having dessert at Demetre. We originally found this awesome dessert place in downtown Toronto .... but recently discovered that they have another shop right across our Hilton Garden Inn! The hotel is officially the best place to stay --- close to Pacific Mall and Markham Plaza, have a nearby theatre, Demetre across the street, and last but not least FREE internet service!!
