Toronto week one..

Week one in toronto has been ok.. the office work is yet to begin.. it should start next week in earnest I hope.

Me leaving the marriot for a service apartment in the downtown area, would not be cheap around 103 CAD per night but then the company is footing the bill so all well here.

Went to the eaton center today, man these Canadian sure know how to make the malls. . This mall in particular of 4 stories (including the basement) and has around 250 shops. People tell me that during the winter when the temp goes below -15C this the place where most Canadian head to in the Toronto area, after spending around 2 hrs to check each floor I headed out to the yonge street, this is along with the bloor street the direction setters of the downtown area. The place also has the world largest book store.

It’s a chapters and indigo store and man it was BIG.. found so many books that I have been looking to buying but ones which I could not locate in stores… spent about 2 hrs in the single section area only .. would be going there often to pass time. Post the book store it was back on the street.. I spied a Lebanese store selling you know “shawarma” its been like 2 yrs when I had this particular dish in Israel. Loved it again plan to visit this place..

During the week went to this Indian restaurant called “Indian Hut”.. the buffet was pretty cool though it cost me 20CAD tip inclusive.. the nan was pretty cool… better then what I have had in India..

Next weekend hopefully I am planning for a trip to Niagara.. plan to go there once again during the winter to see the difference if any.. and about the winter well its around the corner here in Canada. Starting September things should get cold… hopefully I can get my royal ass out of here before the real COLD begins.. nahi to lag gaye geeeee..
