So what have me and the others been up to the last couple of days? Well, seeing Toronto by foot – of course. Or at least mostly. Since I’m staying in the (su)burbs I’m taking the subway for about +/- 20 minutes back and forth from downtown, but thats no problem. I think its nice sitting on the train reading the Metro Xpress. Its almost the same as the Metro Xpress we have in Copenhagen.
To sum up from last:
Tuesday: Met up at City Hall at noon, had a quick lunch at the food court in Eaton Centre (man, its big), went to see our school, accidentally bumped in to the international coordinator Dale Carl who showed us around the school that looks awesome and has some very nice facilities which only the MBA students can use (to bad for the other girls thats studying on their bachelor, hehe), went to Neill-wycik where we are moving in on Tuesday, met a guy there who of course remembers David from 2007 when he was there, walked to China Town with Pil and Kirstine, found a really big Chinese supermarket with alive fish, crabs and lots of other weird stuff, walked all the way back downtown, took the subway back to Hans and Clare, had dinner, had wine, caought Holme and talked a good long time on Skype, went to bed.
Wednesday: Met with Lars and Kirstine at 11 at City Hall, supposed to meet Pil at 11.30 at Union Station but couldn’t find her and her cell didn’t work, walked down to the habour front, had lunch in the sunshine, saw CN Tower and SkyDome/Rogers Centre, found a internet cafe and wrote Pil, met with Pil at 6, had dinner, went to the cinema and saw Inglorious Basterds (good one!) and went home.
Today: Met up at 12 at Kensington Market, got lunch, walked around in the sun, went to Little Italy, got an ice coffee, walked down a long street called Bloor, saw some very big Korean supermarkets and a very big and cheap Canadian one, walked all the way down Bloor, passed by The Annex/University of Toronto, the Royal Ontario Museum (see photo) and the fancy shops like Gucci and so on, went home with the subway, got a nice long talk with David on skype, had dinner with Hans and Clare and then again wine, talked, checked some e-mails and will soon go to bed.
Tomorrow Lars and I are going to an introduction day at the university. Its going to be fun to see the other MBA students. There’s about 120 of them. There’s also a whole programme for Saturday with a case competition and social activities in the evening. So we got the weekend planned already.
Weathers been good and I like hanging out with the girls and Lars and its also very very nice to live at Hans and Clares and chat with them. So besides from my feet as well as my legs being sore life’s good.
I can’t get my computer connected to Hans and Clare’s internet so pictures will have to wait until I’ve moved in at Neill-wycik probably…
Cheers
