Kijiji brings people together
I love Kijiji!
It's hard finding people to befriend in Toronto. The place is filled with people always rushing and never stopping to think. Thanks to Kijiji, I've found some pretty cool new people to call friends!
A while back when I won the tickets to see Unknown (btw, not the greatest movie, glad I didn't pay to see it) I posted an ad on Kijiji to offer the extra ones for free. I got a lot of requests for it and we had eventually decided to take a work buddy of Rick's with us. The day of the movie I fell and ended up in the hospital and we found out that the guy who was supposed to go with us can't because his mother is ill. So I popped on to my email and found the lady with three kids under three that responded to my ad for the free tickets.
Her and her hubby came by shortly after Rick got home from work and picked the tickets up from him. I was nursing my leg because I was still planning to go and it needed some healing time. We called them after the show to ask if they were able to make it and how they enjoyed it and it turns out we got along fairly well over the phone and chatted for a bit. We decided that we would email each other and go out for dinner sometime. After a couple weeks of crazy, I got around the emailing her and we enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Pho Dao Bo with her and her hubby. They are friendly and fantastic people. We are going to go out again soon.
After getting my wedding dress from China and finding it (as I expected) too large, I searched Kijiji for a seamstress that could take it in a bit for me at a good price. After sending many emails I found "Bini". She and I had to cancel one of our meetings and eventually I just ended up meeting her this weekend. I tried on the dress and she and I fussed over what needed to be done and she's going to fix it all for me. She's also going to cook me Indian food. Butter Chicken....mmmmm....we got along great. She likes my jewelry and I gave her one of my hijab pins. She is also another fantastic person!
So Kijiji...THANK YOU!
