The trip to Toronto was, as the ones before, great! We spend a nice weekend in the capital city of Ontario. We left on Saturday morning around 8ish during a nice snow storm, and therefore arrived quite late in Toronto.
If you are interested in possible locations to visit there, you should definitely check Fatima´s blog (she was in Toronto a few weeks ago). What I did was a bit more different, that´s why I cannot tell you too much about the city centre or the port etc.
After arriving at our Hostel we decided to visit the CN Tower and the Hockey Hall of Fame, which was lots of fun. We´ve seen the shirts of all the famous hockey players, the stanley cup and played some interactive games (see pictures^^).At one point I started to search for the jersey of the Argentinean national team, since all nations that ever played a world cup were represented. The result was that I found my country under "nations which never participated in a world tournament", pretty dissapointing to be honest haha. On top of that there was no shirt of Argentina (what a surprise :D).
The day after we went to see the NBA game between the Raptors and Atlanta Hawks. The first half was very exciting and both teams played a very intense and good game. However, Toronto managed to play a terrible second half and so they lost by 20 points. Still, it was a great event and I cannot wait until I see the next one!
In my last post I was talking about my plans when school is over here. I just came back from an exam and still have two to go on Saturday (don´t even ask me why Canadians have exams on the weekend). My flight back to Europe goes on the 4th of January and I need to leave res on the 23rd which gives me around two weeks to travel.
My old friend Karine, who I havent seen for ages, luckily invited me over for Christmas :) I will spend the Christmas days with her and her family in the near of Montreal. I am pretty excited about celebrating french-canadian (or "quebecois" as she likes to call it) christmas ;)
After Christmas I will travel to New York, to meet up with my old housemate from Tilburg. Michelle is Australian and she was on exchange in Tilburg. It´s incredible how small the world is, she will study next semester at Carleton Uni in Ottawa. After meeting up in New York we will visit Washington and travel back to NYC to celebrate New Year´s Eve together!
I can´t wait for all this! Unfortunately, this also means that I have to say good bye to my fellow exchange students here at Telfer. We had such a great semester and I am lucky to have met so many incredible people over here. This will be our last weekend and we will hopefully have one last blast!
