Visited my ex-flatmate and stayed at her beautiful condo for a month. Probably my only chance of staying in a residential condo in the middle of CBD/downtown coz it is too expensive in Singapore. Plus she lent me her best bed with fantastic window view!
Totally lived like a Torontonian with people asking me for directions now and then. Felt accepted by the community and loving the Canadians! In fact, the lifestyle in the different cities are more or less similar. Toronto almost felt like home, minus the heat.
Since it is almost winter, sometimes it is too cold to go out! Flew in on a gorgeous warm October afternoon and left on a cold snowy November morning. Been so busy living the local experience that I totally skipped all the touristy stuff, like CN Tower!
