I made a short video with a few random images and clips from our first month in Canada. I actually have 25 minutes worth of stuff so I’m going to break it into a few videos, of which this is the first. We spent most of the month just finding our way around so the clips are a bit random as there was no big event or anything like that. Still enjoy the sights of Canada with a few Irish related clips thrown in for good measure.
Myself and Lorri will be in Canada soon. I made this video, during an admittedly quiet weekend, to prepare my Canadian friends for the epicness of our arrival. :-) Best with sound
I spent a lot of last week looking at apartments in Mississauga with Zeenia Kola. They were all in high rise apartment blocks so they were pretty small for the pricey, in comparison to Cork.
I was looking into ways of maximising space and came across this fantastic video on what one guy in Hong Kong has done. It’s very impressive.
There was a snow day in work today so I took the opportunity to head into Toronto. I didn’t feel comfortable driving in the snow so I took public transport. Which might not have been the best idea. The bus ended up getting stuck in the snow the next stop after mine. We had to get off and get onto another bus which crashed into a snow bank. The third bus I got was to the train station so I took the train into Toronto after that.
Looking at the roads as I was passing they didn’t look to bad. Reading the paper on the train I realised why.
Once in Toronto it was pretty cold. But I discovered that nearly every building is linked underground by an HUGE underground system (28km long). So they have 28km of shops and business underground. Amazing. It’s called path.
When the nuclear winter comes I know where I’d like to be living.
Here are some pics I took yesterday and today.

Some pics of the footpaths and Fáilte Irish Bar in Mississauga. Are you excited?
After 12 hours travelling tomorrow I’ll have to navigate this, in the snow, on the wrong side of the road. Jet-lagged.
I was in work today and someone discovered that Google Street view for Ireland was live. Check it out and look at your house. Or someone elses.
I was in Dublin Castle today and they had some cool sand structures in the courtyard. Here are some photos with the odd pic of the castle.
Went to the zoo today to try and take my mind off of the hurling yesterday. I was there once when I was younger and was bitten by a goat I managed to make it out unscathed today Here are some pictures.
Here is a list of the top 10 dirtiest hotels in Europe to be avoided from TripAdvisor. 8 out of 10 of which are from the United Kingdom. I know I won’t be going there on my holidays.Not that I would ever stay in Hotles with the names Cromwell Crown or the Victoria etc.
