Should have kept his mouth shut.

Should I get a name change?

Filip · December 27th, 2006, 06:14 PM

What's a chocho?

Jaye101 · December 27th, 2006, 10:22 PM

Okay, my cousin is from Conneticut and I'm taking her around the city this friday. Every time she comes they just drive up to Brampton, and stay there. I asked her if she's ever been downtown, "Downtown Brampton? Ofcourse."

HaHa, so what areas do I have to show her? There's too much to see in one day.

I have; Dundas Square, Chinatown, West Queen West, Little Jamaica, Corso Italia, and Yorkville so far. Where else?

Filip · December 27th, 2006, 10:34 PM

UNITY = AMAZING

I danced on one of those platforms for about 3 hours hehehehehe.. I honestly wonder where I get the energy.. but when it's euro hehehe

All in all clubbing in TO is bombastic.

monkeyronin · December 28th, 2006, 12:36 AM

Kensington of course, and walking around the financial district is always fun. Beaches, High Park, Harbourfront, North Toronto are nice too, but not so much in winter.

Jaye101 · December 28th, 2006, 12:42 AM

ugh, I know... all that walking around in winter. Kensington is good, forgot about the financial district.

Canadian Chocho · December 28th, 2006, 01:06 AM

Depends how long she's staying and how old she is.

Jaye101 · December 28th, 2006, 01:14 AM

January 8th... And like 24... But I can't like go clubbing or anything.

Canadian Chocho · December 28th, 2006, 02:13 AM

Harbourfront, if she knows how to skate. NPS, Eaton Centre, Distillery and maybe a Raptors game.

Urban Idiot · December 28th, 2006, 04:08 AM

So I'm thinking of getting a new toy: Either a Canon PowerShot G7 or a Leica D- LUX 3 - cost about the same... Any ideas? Brains say "Canon" hart says "Leica".
Meant to be a SLR substitute - for travel without the lugging.
Already have aa Canon Élan II film SLR and will get the D30 (digital) one day.... so I am familiar with Canon... Read some not so good things about each...

davidmillerismyboss · December 28th, 2006, 07:24 AM

Forest Hill village, the beach, the annex (bloor, bathurst, side streets), little italy, kensington market, wqueenw, yonge/avenue rd north of eglington, uoft campus/harbord st, lawrence ave east, bathurst north, baldwin village, king east, parliament st/cabbage town.

Canadian Chocho · December 28th, 2006, 04:52 PM

Doubt there will be time.

thryve · December 28th, 2006, 07:13 PM

I'd just show her some extremes to make sure you cover it all. Maybe check out the Financial District and Yonge-Dundas, then Queen West and Chinatown. Take her shopping on Bloor, or just for a look.

There

Jaye101 · December 28th, 2006, 08:30 PM

Okay, I loved your suggestions... This is how it's going to go...

After Getting off at Sherbourne Station
St. Jamestown
Yorkville
Chinatown
Kensington
WQueenW
Financial District
Dundas Square
Harbourfront
Raptors Game

All that in 2 degree weather.

Is that cool?

Canadian Chocho · December 28th, 2006, 10:41 PM

Sounds good to me.

Fedekovic · December 28th, 2006, 10:45 PM

That looks great but here is what I'd change...

After Getting off at Sherbourne Station
St. Jamestown - Cabbagetown
Yorkville
Chinatown
Kensington
WQueenW
Financial District
Dundas Square
Harbourfront
Raptors Game

monkeyronin · December 28th, 2006, 11:12 PM

Wait.. why Jamestown? And I'd skip the Raptors game and go out for some food or something, you can watch basketball on TV.

Canadian Chocho · December 28th, 2006, 11:47 PM

Buts it's the almighty Raptors!!!

Jaye101 · December 29th, 2006, 05:56 AM

HaHa.. I was just kidding... Ugh the Bramptonians want to bring a car.

I guess I'll scratch the raps game for dinner.
