Well, I got on the bus last night to Toronto, and did my best to try to sleep. The problem was that every time I started to fall asleep the bus hit a bump in the road and I hit my head against the window (Thank you US for have so great roads ;) haha) But around 9 this morning we reached the Canadian border and without much effort I entered Canada.
It didn't take long before you started to notice the contrast between the two countries. The road in Canada was much better paved, and instead of boring little farms everywhere along the road, there were instead forests and wilderness. In other words, Canada is more like Sweden.
When we entered Toronto, I noticed how much cleaner it was than NYC, and that the air was much less polluted. Still Toronto has 2.5 million citizens and a lot of cars. I walked around trying to find my hostel, and noticed how beautiful Toronto is. There were flowers planted everywhere and parks, and there weren't beggars and homeless people walking around everywhere (Later I saw two). Here are some random pictures that I took when walking around.
When I finally found my hostel at Clarence Square, I took a shower and slept for a couple of hours. (It takes a lot of energy to be this awesome) :P After that I went out and decided to go to the CN tower.
The CN tower holds the record of being the tallest "single" building (Only surpassed by the towers in Malaysia, which are not a single building per se. I bought the ticket and started exploring. The first thing I did was to see a Ride Motion Film (called 4D-cinema in Sweden), about, believe it or not, how it would feel like to be a bit of timber in the year 2020! Only in Canada. It was awesome though. :D Then I saw a real 3D-film (not the usual depth picture 3D that we usually have) about surfing on Tahiti. It wasn't really that exciting, but they had some incredible effects! Last of all I went to the observation deck of the CN tower and took some really good photos of Toronto. They have glass floor in the tower as well, so you can see a couple of hundred meters down from your feet. Awesome!
I ended the day with some (disgusting) really cheap Canadian pizza. Can't believe if someone manages to eat a whole of these. :S This is how much I managed to eat. But now I've got food for...Two more days? :P
Ooooh Canada is so pretty. You're making me want to go there!
SvaraRaderaJust so you know, I think the quality of roads in the US differ by state, and California has some pretty awesome and not bumby roads ... as with the rest of the west coast. From your travels so far, I'm almost embarrassed that your first visit to the US is on the east coast! haha
