5 days.
Endless laughter & fun.
Miles away but always close at heart.
We didn't take a lot of photos but sometimes we don't really need them to remember the beautiful moments.
We managed to get on an earlier flight and made the Okauchis rush like mad because they planned to surprise us at the airport (which I kinda guessed so, haha). The shock came when I realised Porter is a propellor plane! FML really. Of course, we still reached Toronto in one piece & met up with the lovely couple. Chatterbox mode went on immediately and a man in the shuttle bus stared at us for we guessed, being too noisy :)
We 'checked in' to their lovely apartment, had Chipotle at the rooftop club house, unpacked & chatted more while Fats took a nap & our host went back to work.
Here's us checking out the neighbourhood and as you can tell, the sun has set cos we basically chatted for hours in their apartment. We were very happy to chance upon a Korean store & did some shopping too! Went home to a delicious home cooked meal. I've never eaten so much rice but it's probably the cold or a week without home cooked food, I finished everything.
Next day was sight-seeing/city tour. A quick stop at CN Tower which is just a stone's throw from their apartment. The men did some jumping shots here and it's also here we found the similarities in them.
Explored the city, had Korean food & found another shop! Discovered this nice sweater/coat - didn't know what to call it - but it's simply too pretty. Gave it up since I don't really need it and it was named 'perfection' since. We couldn't stop raving how pretty or perfect it is, haha.
I hereby declare Toronto a better & cheaper shopping place than Far East Plaza! Minus the air ticket of course.
Did something really crazy after lunch & shopping. Well, not exactly crazy but I just wasn't thinking when I didn't stop the hairstylist from layering my hair way too much. And then I ended up with a bad haircut. 1 for hair, 0 for me.
Next day, the Okauchis rented a car to bring us all to Niagara Falls. Not before we stopped for brunch or rather lunch by the time we were seated.
We stayed at Embassy Suites for a night, upgraded ourselves to a suite with a great view, had dinner at the restaurant with a view & watched the fireworks before we retired for the night.
Fats caught a cold then and was very whiny/irritating....
Niagara Falls fun! Getting ourselves wet, literally.
Ended our last night with some Singapore food - some misses, shopping at Walmart (as seen in movies/TV shows), more shopping at Old Navy & home to pack.
I guess we didn't really want to sleep early and so we got pizza - yes, more food!
All good things must come to an end and that's our wonderful 5-day in chilly Toronto.
These photos and word don't do much justice but we will always remember the fun we had.
See you two soon in Singapore!
