Canada Diary Entry - Aug 26
Update to yesterday: Actually, I didn't do nothing.
Instead, after doing nothing, we went to a (Chinese) restaurant, where I almost had fried frogs' legs. However, they were sold out.
Given that today is my last day in Canada, today's task can be reduced to the following exercise:
Exercise:
Find a valid transformation from the situation as depicted in (Exhibit A) into the situation shown in (Exhibit B). Available time: 12 hours.
Exhibit A:
Exhibit B:
Update:
Have been dining in a Polish restaurant, as a kind of thank-you to my hosts here - and to show them one from my own culture, without any intercultural communication issues on my side :-). Had some zurek and kopytka there... in Toronto.
But before, I saw something very strange along the street. I took a picture.
At first glance, this might be a satellite dish. But then... an unexpected conspiracy of unimaginable consequences rises its ugly head. Have a second look at exactly where the dish is oriented.
Right. At the upper level window. And well, what is the only thinkable reason?
Right again. Those guys are slowly frying their mother-in-law!
Another interesting thing I saw and wanted to show to you guys back at home. Look at the price tag... one Euro is about 1.45 Canadian dollars:
Then, finally, one last view back at Toronto vanishing in the dark:
Side note:
Starting from a discussion about raising kids, I got confronted with the question... "at what age should a mom start washing her son's penis? Is two okay, or four or five?"
My first reaction was... "the interesting question would be rather, when to stop?".

should not be that a problem...;-) every hour one piece :-)
have a good flight and thnx for the entertaining blog :-)
Hey, the exchange rate should be:
1 EUR = 1.45CAD.
The wrong quote would scare off everybody, thinking gas here is really expensive; and it contradicts your previous idea that the gas is damn cheap here ;)
Hello Ailie,
of course the exchange rate comment is right... I apologize! I didn't mean to do any harm with that misrepresentation! It's corrected by now.
