Toronto treats

More good things going on here....

Just been for a mega Dim Sum experience in the original China town in east Toronto. They just come round with endless trolly's of traditional food until you can't take anymore - so cheap too - amazing

Proper Chinese bakery next door that was also very cheap, plus the craziest supermarket with everything you can imagine including pick your own live eels or crabs - nice!

When I was here last year I found Hogtown - a skate / snowboard / bmx shop which is pretty friendly and packed out with skate stuff and clothes. Different guys in there to last year but still a good place

Yesterday I found a more bmx orientated shop - Core, which is on Queen St East, have to say - cool as fcuk. Real friendly guys in there, rider owned, proper relaxed, they put the United DVD on so I chilled in there a good while and they even gave me a shop T-shirt - how nice is that!! :) So I guess I'll be making my way past Toronto with my bike to have a ride with these guys next year....although it seems no trails around as parks and street is the thing here....all good though :)

Went to the ROM - Museum the other day too - real good in general and the China Terracotta Army exhibition was amazing.

Well part of me doesn't want to come back, I could def see more stuff here and maybe should have got out of the city to the lakes but been happy chilling about really....

....on the other hand though I have missed alv woods so will be ace to get back up there. Want to ride my bike too....maybe the trails season is coming to an end (or already has) but a roll round the streets will be nice :)

mad house of lords

thanks to J for pointing this out via boingboing - one of the funniest things I've read / seen for a while

You can read all house of lords dialogue on Lords Hansard text (this is section 1538 on 1 Nov)
or
watch the original recording on the bbc 'democracy' live at circa 2hr 30 mins....

so why do we need bank debt and government cuts etc when there is free money out there....or is he just a mad ol' fool....amazing!!

Missed a ferry....

....back from the islands by five minutes yesterday, but of course it turned out for the best (*awesome* some might say) as I got some views like nothing else as the sun started to go down






half way through

yup I'm just over half way through my trip to Toronto and around now....every day is a good one and 5 more full days to come

Had my walking shoes on yesterday, stomping around the islands which I almost had to myself - sweet! It's a bit of a trek from where I'm staying (walk, street car, walk then ferry) but I'm tempted to go back and have a day doing qigong and training there 'cause its so nice and peaceful

View of the islands from the CN Tower





More photos to come but uploading them is a pain in the arse!

more super slow mo'

nice work!

Apple shops

give you free internet access which can be very useful when it's hard to find an internet cafe....and super cheap too :)


Enjoying time in Canada, going to watch the Maple Leaf's Ice hockey game tomorrow - should be fun!! (probably mental). Just planning where to go with a hire car in the next week - looking like the going north to the lakes area and taking in some autumn countryside which should be ace!!

Just had a couple of days chilling around the city enjoying the good food and sights

Might even go find the city's outdoor skateparks and check the local skate/bmx scene out....

"The greatest shortcoming of the human race is our inability to understand the exponential function."

I like Dr. Albert Bartlett, (quote above) he's a no nonesense man and has dam fine style. the first part of his "most important video" is below.

But first a nice ladies view on our compond interest society....



If you find the above interesting and have an hour or so to spare, Dr Albert Bartlett sheds some light on the maths and wider implications

Weekend in London

Had a good weekend in London, learnt half a new staff form with Tse Qigong Centre, man i love them wooden staffs, sooo much fun and sooo good for ya. My injured hand seems to have been helped by it so more practice seems like the answer.

J has been busy working and posting stuff at ALV while I've been away, sorry I wasn't there to lend a hand, looks like it was solo time again....

Called in to Volt BMX on way home yesterday, good to see the place and say hi to John. If you need anything bmx check it out for sure :)

Also managed to sniff out Epsom trails for a mooch, it was a sight to behold, shit man that place is sick, so many inspirational spots in England now old and new.....it just seems if your in the midlands you need to be proper west or east side else most people just don't seem into it enough...oh well, it's their loss I guess....J - it's down to me and you bro x

whats ahead?

Obviously I don't know but things are going mad, and some say....

More economic troubles -

followed by

More cash to bankers, more interest to bankers blah blah

single global currency.....as nations currencies become worthless and

watch as the price of gold keeps on going up

then who knows....

Aliens...? - official UFO sightings could be not too far away as there is a definite move towards acclimatising people before disclosures....eg - UK schools are having UFO crash drills for some reason?
