Canada wins Gold

So Canada has just beaten out the USA to win Olympic Gold in the Men’s (ice) Hockey! That, and recently winning the Women’s Gold, and being in Vancouver, is basically like topping the entire Winter Olympics for Canada.

So straight after the match everyone headed out to the streets to party. Even the emergency services were getting into it, with Fire trucks fllying flags and running sirens to celebrate!

Niagara Falls

No, not what you keep getting emails about, Niagara Falls! I took a trip with Jess and Mark to check out the falls in mid Winter! Continue Reading…

Ice Fest

Jeanne and I went to check out some Ice sculptures!

Toronto Motorshow 2010

Well the first car I saw at the Toronto Motor Show was a white Nissan R35 GTR, which I consider pretty much the best car in the world, but it wasn’t all downhill from there. There was an even crazier STILLEN tuned R35 inside! Capable of 0-100 in under 3 seconds As well as a bunch of Shelby Cobras, a Chevy Camaro decked in Bumblebee yellow and full Transformers Pack (door runners, badges, mag wheels etc), and a crazy 3-seater supercar called Plethore LC-750 (750 HP, weighs nothing and 0-100 in 2.8!)

CN Tower, Toronto

I scored 2 free tickets up the CN Tower from a mate at work! So I went with Jess, Mark and Dan for city views and shenanigans.

You get a great view over Toronto, including the harbour and lake. We went late to get dusk and night time in the same viewing. Its actually kind of hard to take decent photos though because of all the lights, both inside and outside the tower.

There are 2 observation decks, and the lower one has glass panels in the floor so you can look directly beneath and walk on it! There’s a bunch of interesting facts involved with the tower too, like people running up the stairs and the world’s longest flying fox.

My tickets also came with a pass for an “attraction” at the Tower. We tried it just to see what it was, and it was the lamest, most unimpressive and useless attraction possible. Remember those shuttle 4D experience things? I think one must have been on fire sale from an 80s fun park, because it had no purpose being in the CN Tower. We followed the journey of a log in a timber factory. Excitement! haha.

Blue Mountain

Why do I even attempt things that involve balance? I mean, even Nintendo’s Wii Fit gave it to me straight “You have no balance”. Nevertheless, I joined the gang to visit the girls in Blue Mountain and made an attempt to move on ice.
