Cultural Difference
yea! no tests for at least 2 weeks from now.. we r gg to resume our travel plans.. The last test really prove me tat we had to do consistent work here cos the last min cramming really drive my brain crazy.. imagine u still have many chapters to study on e day of the exam.. oh man..
Anyway, yesterday, to 'treat' ourselves for being so 'hardworking' in the study room the last 2 days, we went for a great dinner at Salad King, a Thai restaurant. The food was GREAT! The sticky rice dessert was especially good. Its sticky rice wif coconut gravy on it and with some mangoes (its hard and bit sour though) beside.. Cad$3.50 for it. Not bad =) And its being a long time since i had a meal wif lots of spicyness.. Cos the ppl here don't even know wat's chili sauce lo..haha.. there's this time at Wendy's Burger in Niagara fall, i asked for chili sauce, the girl stare at me blankly, then i said hot sauce, she still looked blur.. haiz.. We felt happy after the meal =)
Thai fried rice:
Lemon chicken rice:
The lychee and mango ice-cream (quite e usual though):
The food was so nice that any little piece of food was not left out:
Our satisfied face after the delicious meal =) :
Note: no pic for the fantastic sticky rice because Jiali do not have e chance to take a pic of it.. it was eaten up as soon as it was served.. haha.. lazy to upload e rest of the dishes also..
After dinner, we decided to explore Church Street for its Gay activity. There were many gay pubs there.. We didn't went in of course.. I don't noe y, but i don't really like e atmosphere there.. haha.. there were so many guys (gays?)! Few girls though.. no wonder its renowned for its gay pubs and not lesbian pubs. haha.. I spotted this angmoh (actually i didn't see much Asians there except us..) who dressed up as a FEMALE outside a pub.. 'She' was huge and 'She' wore this green dress and wif a wig. 'She' even put on makeup.. its so funny.. I really felt like laughing out sia.. but i contained it.. don't wanna get bashed up.. This street is quite interesting to walk.. But i think there will be much more to see during the Toronto Pride Week? Its an annual festival for gays and lesbians and it will be in june. we are all so curious and excited about it cos u can't see such event in S'pore..
After Church street, we decided to go to a pub that Meiqi recommend. Its on the 52th storey of manulife centre.. cool.. so we walked and walked and walked, then this sign appear at the lift there that there its closed for some private function.. sian..
So, too bad.. and then i met a strange guy here also.. i was talking to Ngian Xin when this indian guy suddenly snap his finger at my face.. so lame and crazy.. this is not the 1st time tat this happen to us.. Then as we were walking, a driver suddenly yelled for fun from his car as he drove past.. Gave us a shock sia.. especially me and ngian xin cos we were talking abt haunted houses and ghosts when he yelled.. haha.. I seriously think there is a lack of mental healthcare here..
Since that pub is closed for private event, we walked to Dominion supermarket at College's park there.. its 24hr.. and its huge.. i like the bakery section wif its variety of breads, bagels, pastry, pretty cakes and more.. oh ya, the cereal selection here is cool too.. many many many variety.. bought quite a lot of stuffs here..
Then at the pantry, i heard from Anne that Spadina Ave here isn't tat safe after all.. 2 murder cases happened this week.. so scary.. 1 of the case even involved gun shots.. This reminded me of the noises i heard the night before.. its 2 am plus and there's this girl screaming really loudly and a guy's voice who sounded like he's scolding someone.. the tone was really fierce and it lasted for quite some time really loudly.. i don't dare to look out of my window and moreover, im so so dead tired from the last min cramming for psych test.. I hope nothing serious happen.. Its been getting more noisy ard here in the night and more police cars (and fire brigade to compete wif me who cross the rd 1st) on the road also.. scary..
