Getting Settled
I'm getting settled slowly, slowly into Toronto. As they say in Cameroon: "Slowly, slowly we catch the monkey!"
My mood is great, normal weekends seem better than the best weekends I had in Cameroon.
Friday I went here which was awesome- http://www.thefifthgrill.com/. It was a first date with a Canadian Pakistani/Italian guy. Pretty darn good first date, though he seems like a total player, probably not someone I should be getting mixed up with.
Then Deanna and I toured every furniture store in downtown Toronto getting interior inspiration. I'm toying with the idea of getting a hand carved Canadian buffet/china cabinet, which is a little over 1,000$, but beautiful and would last forever, or getting a similar style thing, but in mass-produced junk form from Ikea for 300$.
IKEA in Toronto was AMAZING!!!!! It is enormous and has a restaurant, kids playground and grocery store in it as well as tons of furnishings. I could have spent all day there. I'm going to go back monday on my day off to pick up the rest of the stuff I need for my new apartment.
We also spent some time in the new apartment and Isis ran around and hid in all the empty spaces. I LOVE MY NEIGHBORHOOD! I'm so glad I chose to live in the Annex! And it turns out right below us in the building their is a family with a three year old daughter! Isis's new friend!
Last couple days enjoying the lux of Yorkville before I move to my new hood on June 1.
Did I mention I LOVE Toronto!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!
