TORONTO

I had a wonderful experience in Toronto, I lived there for two months! I took English classes and I met a lot of people!!! It was pretty cool.
I learned how to take the subway, buses, streetcars… well my place was far from the skool area (downtown). I walked up and down in downtown and I liked to see so many different people walking and walking in the morning with a Tim Horton Coffee cup on their hands and listening to mp3 players.

However, I missed my husband very much; I realized how important he is in my life. I appreciate more what I have here in Ja, even is not perfect but I feel like home it’s my paradise :)

At skool I met nice people from Mexico, Japan, Europe and teachers were Canadian. I am already used to multicultural relationships, well my husband is Chinese yeah! Nice combination latin and Chinese. Its pretty interesting haha… I also hang out with my sis in law sometimes, she is fun too. I met 2 old friends one Jamaican and another Colombian.

Even though, people in Toronto are really polite,( they will help you if you are lost or if you need any directions) I could feel like a very remarkable distance between each individual, what I mean is that Canadian society is individualistic. That’s was interesting, and different.

Well, I also had strange experiences I saw some mad people on the subway or on the road it was little bit scary. Like cursing bad words to others or shouting, doing weird things… those situations are also part of the trip.

I also saw some arts expressions on the street really nice!!

There were many different entertainment activities to do, festivals, parades, concerts… I really liked the summer over there.

It was a great destination!

At the end it was a constructive experience I loved it. I had the chance to be by myself for a while, and it gave me power get back on track at home.
