I didn’t want to go visit University of Toronto because I have no intention of applying there but my parents wanted to go so naturally I followed them there. You can clearly see how happy I was to be there…
It actually turned out to not be as bad as I thought. The campus is really nice and it’s basically in downtown Toronto which is really convenient. The only problem is that it’s the biggest campus in all of Canada (Yes even bigger than UBC) so there was a lot of walking involved. I think we walked for 2-3 hours and we only covered 3/5 of the campus.
After we visited the campus we decided that we were hungry, so we did what any north American would do in that situation. We went to get hot dogs! These hot dogs are incredibly healthy and have no fat in them…. You guys believe me, right?!
After our healthy meal we decided to go visit the CN tower. I was really excited for this but also a bit nervous. Heights and I don’t go very well together. Once I was at the top of the tower I had no problems, but going up the tower was a bit more difficult. I had to sum up all of my courage just to walk into the elevator. Just so you can get an idea of how high up we were, here’s a picture from the glass floor part of the tower.
After we visited the glass floor we went on the balcony. I’ve always wanted to experience a hurricane, this may be the closest I’ll ever get to hurricane force winds.
As a little side story. When I was around 6 years old we went to Seattle to visit the Space Needle. It was a very windy day and when we went on the balcony the wind picked me up off the ground and had my mom not been holding me, I’d have flown out of the tower! (Well... honestly there is a fence that keeps kids from flying out of the tower but I like my version of the story better.)
Lastly, when we came down from the tower I made a new friend. He’s the perfect friend. He doesn’t complain, doesn’t ramble on, doesn’t argue, and actually doesn’t even move or talk. Nevertheless, he’s the best friend I’ve ever had!
Off to Montreal now.
1. I totally have a photo with the same pose. It was when me and kasia were walking up the stairs of the Effel tower. We definitely share the same expression. :P
ReplyDelete2. Hot Dog. Those fries look kind of nasty though. Were they?
3.Ooh la la. Glass floor. Kind of like charlie and the chocolate factory.
