I went to the visa night out on Wednesday and met some Irish folk. It’s pretty funny, there are so many. Even the Canadians are confused by how many of us there are lately. GOOD OL’ RECESSION.
Ahh, the Harbourfront
Yesterday, I went to the Harbourfront with some of them. The weather here has been pretty gorgeous. We considered heading over to Centre Island, but the queues were massive so we just stuck to the mainland.
More of the Harbourfront
We ended up sitting on the porch of a restaurant for some of the day. I ordered a ‘Blue Wave’ cocktail. It had strawberry vodka and blue berry juice and a tonne of crushed ice. And possibly other stuff. But it was delicious.
Memorieees...
Next weekend is the G20 summit, where a large amount of world leaders are flying into Toronto to discuss leading ‘n’ shit. This has attracted a hell of a lot of attention. They’re predicting people in their thousands will protest and there are big fears it’ll get violent. As such, security measures are huge. Much of downtown will be closed off by a fence, a lot of public transport will grind to a halt and police will be all over the place, armed with sound cannons and the like. We’ve been recommended to stay in unless you absolutely have to leave the house and if you do, bring ID at all times. I was considering running away to Montreal for the weekend, but right now, I need to save money. Will make those plans once I have some sort of job.
Some of the G20 fence. It won't be this causal next week, I tells you.
