LA ---> Toronto

[kools_pad]

So I am moving to Toronto by January. Got a new job out there.

Kind of stoked. I have enough experience now where I can travel and work. Figured Canada was a good choice for now.

Anyone ever lived or visited there?

I've never lived there but I hear it's a pretty cool place. It's kind of like the NYC of Canada right?

Be sure to try some poutine.

Is that a vagina joke? Cause it would be a good one. Poutine.

Yeah the funny thing about Canada is that nobody talks about it. Except hockey sticks, maple syrup, and John Candy. And the fact that its hard to find friends or people i know who've lived there, makes me think people dont leave Canada, lol.

Either way I'm excited. Gonna be a huge weather change for me. But other than that, I'm excited to live in a new country. I kind of feel like Canada is like training wheels for Americans living abroad. Its different, but not that different.

Any vagina that looks like poutine must be avoided. ALWAYS.

haha well I've been to Canada, but only to see my dad's family, so I don't have the most varied view of it, but I can tell you there are some BITCHIN' fish and chips shops.

I do know a guy who moved there for college, although he moved to Montreal, which I gather is a very different experience than the rest of Canada. But from what I can tell Canada has its own brand of crazy and fun. Just a little bit off the American standard like you said, but not totally foreign, just sort of tweaked by the British/French influence.

Hahaha gross. I actually had to google poutine for the visual. Double gross.

They have their own 'south' too. Its just called Canadian French, lol. No but in all seriousness, they are the closest to Nazis I've heard of in North America. They make our disgusting, sister raping, lynching sociopath hicks look like a Jr. Hater. They want a purified Canada. Not just, "Oh you must be white" bad, I mean cultural and province specific BAD. Where White has to be the certain type of white, otherwise they go to the gas chamber.

Yeah I'm ready to leave already. Just bored as shit waiting for the new year to start. Bought all my gear, I'm ready for the fucking North Pole. REI is sweet. I think I've been watching Fringe too much because I subconsciously bought 2 pea coats. And I dont even like peacoats.

Everyone is saying good things about Toronto. I'm just excited to get back to work and experience a new city. Got a furnished place downtown.
