Cue Ophecks saying you should see a hockey match :) |

I'd like to see a hockey match out there! But might not have the time - I'll have to settle for just buying a hockey shirt home instead!! |

the cn tower is pretty impressive. the highest view in the world, i believe. you can see the niagara falls when the weather is clear, they say. also the zoo is really nice, imo |

Practice your 'eh?'s Jedi ;) lol jk |
||||||||
|
|

the hockey hall of fame is right on the corner of front street and bay, i think. close to the cn tower, as a matter of fact. |

Explain Amonbrune about the 'eh?s'.....and what do people refer to 'hockey matches' in Canada as then? (Re:Dave's post) |

Hockey game..... as in going to see the 'game' ? I get it ! |

Try to say eh? lots. I hear Toronto is very polite so don't abuse that lol. Canadian Bacon made us saying "sorry" lots famous / infamous. Uhh what else...try some hotdogs and bacon and ... our water. See what you think of our water. And see if you can find milk in plastic baggies. Yes, in Canada you can buy milk in bags. Serious. |
||||||||
|
|

|

Or maybe keep your eh's down lol. People might think your weird...oh well. Just have fun :D |
||||||||

I love Canada.... The CN was an absolute blast! Fucking long wait tho..... My relatives live in Kingston. We take the piss by saying eh? and they take the piss by saying Bauls instead of balls. |

hahaha.. toronto... friendly... the homeless people are REALLY friendly (when theyre sober) they always say hi... anyways.. i live here so heres a few tips. 1. cn tower.. ive lived here for like 3 years and i still havent gone up. so go, and tell me what its like. 2. the zoo if you have time. god i love those lake otters... 3. i dunno bout the night life.. all the clubs that are all ages are full of eurodance *puke, puke* and i've yet to go to a rave... my friends are all scared. ummm... downtown toronto has all sorts of wacky stores... and 4. gimme some of those pounds.. i dunno how to make the letter.... lol |

weather report: a few weeks ago it was like shitty and rainy... then it got REALLY warm.. like 25-30 degrees celcius or centigrade or what have you.. now its around 10-16 or so.. sometimes windy.. sunny... it gets warm every now and then.. hang on, lemme run outside with no shirt on...... k, its a bit chilly, so wear a sweater or jacket... and enjoy. dont give the bums any money. its like when you had gum in school. if you give some to one kid, you gotta give some to all the other kids. travel safely when u actually travel here |

come to St. John's and I'll show you around!!!! :) |

yeah, don't use 'eh'... you might get your ass kicked... we are stereotyped as saying 'eh' all the time, but I have yet to hear a Canadian say it for real... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

BRATTTTTTTT i've always wanted to go to Toronto.....i must go up the TOWER, it's on my TALL buildings list....eheheh Have fun and take pic's to share with us ..... may the force be with YA!! =0) |

Grab a bike and check High Park out! Lotta flowers, green stuff :) (if you like it:) Easy to find just jump on the subway and look for High Park on the map. |

Also dont forget to see Niagara. That's a total shock. Half day trip though, so if you dont have time, maybe you cannot make it. Last time I was renting a car, the exact distance to Niagara was covered in a very low price. Look around Holiday Inn, if you want to find the rental company. At the first time we went with Greyhound, it sucked because we had to walk thrugh Niagara Falls. Hehe. |

Funkmaster: what are you talking about? I use 'eh?' sometimes. When asking a question i say 'no' at the end instead of 'yeah' like some europeans here do. I guess that's the french in me, no? But I carry no steriotypical accent with my 'eh?'s... But I do use them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol everyone says 'eh'... just not "how ya doin eh? wanna come down to ol' mclarneys pub for a drink eh? and then we'll go lumberjacking eh?" its more like... i cant explain, but not like that! no accent in the cities either.. the accent thats stereotyped is the maritime one... not that its a bad thing funkmaster lol... im a martimer.. born in fredericton =D but bred in ontario lol. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Maritime like in the eastcoast? lol Funkmaster might have that accent. That would be sweet eh? Im not too familiar with the east. What makes up the maritimes? |

new brunswick, nova scotia, newfoundland, prince edward island... ive never been farther west then edmonton and i was like 7.. so i dun remember what its like out in the west coast.. people there talk weird? :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

well the NHL playoffs are on so i doubt ull be albe to get tickets to a hockey GAME ;)..... but at least watch it in a pub or something then u can watch canadians in their natural habitat... btw, canadian beer is supposed to be very good MUCH better than american beer (im not trying to be competative here, im just saying ive heard this from a lot of americans in fact, ive never heard an american disagree on it) anyways, so if ur a beer drinker, have a molson and watch a hockey game in a pub (if the leafs are still in the playoffs) |

Where I am, Cape Breton, it's pretty, but it's... boring as hell. The Atlantic Provinces are sleep inducing. But I've never been out of them... Whatever you do, go to a hockey game, damn right! Go to a Leafs/Islanders game, there's bad blood between them and the games will be awesome. Or better yet... go to Montreal and watch the Canadiens/Bruins series, now THAT is hockey!!! The next game should be brutal, awesome hockey. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahaha i was watchin the leafs/islanders game..... so violent... i never watch hockey though, so maybe its tame? ho hum.... |

West coasters don't talk weird Psycho Minus that Im aware of lol..hmmm... |
||||||||
|
|

i go to windsor quite often. it's a nice, quaint canadian town. that montreal and boston game is going to be brutal, can't wait to see it......ottawa just won in overtime!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yongue street/queen street is an alright place to walk/shop, there's good record stores there bloor has some high spots there too what are you interested in doing/seeing really? |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

Montreal just beat Boston, which makes me very happy. You should go to Montreal to watch them put the nail in the Bruins' coffin in game 6. Of course, you won't... but you should! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I guess you support the Montreal team as opposed to Boston? ;) Although I'm spending most of my time in Toronto during the daytime, I'm actually staying with friends in Burlington. They work in Toronto so I'm gonna get dropped off in the mornings to go 'exploring' :) I'm also going to Niagara Falls next Sunday - I've got a helicopter ride booked as well! I've never been in a helicopter before. In fact Canada will be the furthest I have ever travelled. I've been all over Europe before, but never across the Atlantic! ... I can't wait! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh fuck, every time Montreal wins, I get so happy and excited... when they lose, I'm borderline suicidal... damn right I'm a Montreal fan!!! Blech, I hate Toronto... I like Quebec and I like British Columbia... I kind of like the Atlantic Provinces, too. But Ontario and the prairies... ick! :-) I think I just need an ocean near me. |

I know what you mean about having the sea near you. I'm sat here at my computer now, and although it is nightime here, I can see the sea. When I've been away and I'm 'inland' I tend to loose my bearings, when I cannot see the coast. When I see the coast here I know I'm looking south! |
