The first impressions of Toronto

Samstag, 10. Januar 2009

Like i mentioned in my last posting. I will try to write most of my next articles in english. How this will work and sound it’s a surprise.

Yesterday at 14:30 local time I arrived in Toronto Pearson Airport. It was a very easy 8h flight - no sleep but a lot of movies ;-) ( I really can  recommend the movie "How to lose friends and alienate people"

The Taxi took me to my rented room in East Toronto – Gerrard Street. Just arrived my landlords welcomed me very very friendly and i could ascertain that they are also MAGIX User :-) - very cool people I cant complain! Even the the room and the house are in a pretty good standard. It has a new woodflor, good insulated windows and a good working climatic control. With me in this is house there lives a funny german speaking libanese who has actually 3citizenships (french, german, libanese) and is starting to get the fourth (canadian).

My first day here starts with doing some standard thing like going downtown to withdraw money and get to know the inner city. I go there by torontos streetcar (Tram), which was actually pretty chilled, because it has in some way a relaxing effect when you sit in.

That I just vistited a demonstration (Anti-Gaza) without really watching the whole inner city wasn't planned... but just watch the pictures (press the fullscreen button richt at the bottom) and see...





Before i forget to tell....There is one little but very describing story, i have experienced the first day. A lot of Torontos Citizens do the same when there are sneezing. They put there heads insinde their sweaters or they take the sweater/jacket-arm and sneeze in it. This I because there is a advertising campaign on torontos streets, which say: “Don’t sneeze in your hands, sneeze in your clothes to prevent others from illness :-)

Tomorrow I will try to meet my MAGIX Collegues...
