Winding down......

It's only four more sleeps until we leave Canada.  While we are cleaning, organising and packing, I am thinking about our past 12 months.  I thought I'd share the following.....

THINGS I WILL NOT MISS ABOUT TORONTO
  • The winter
  • Traffic
  • Having to stop for stupid pedestrians when they just cross the road in front of you and don't even bother to look and then walk reeeeeeeeeally slow.
  • All the stop signs - get some roundabouts!
  • vegemite withdrawals
  • The winter
  • Having to leave a tip (and figuring out how much)
  • Ordering food through a drive-thru and not getting what you asked for
  • People asking if we're British, South African, Scottish (I am not lying), Kiwi....
  • How the weather channel never gets the weather prediction right
  • The winter
  • wondering what the hell we are going to do with all our pennies we have
  • Dealing with Rogers communications
THINGS WE ARE GOING TO MISS ABOUT TORONTO
  • The food is cheaper
  • The gas (petrol) is cheaper
  • Chips called "Munchies" which are a mixed packet of pretzels, twisties, corn chips and sun chips....mmmm
  • The pizza
  • How people enjoy the sunshine and don't take great weather for granted.
  • The people we have met!!!
  • Costco
  • Moosehead Beer
  • How cheap Coke & Diet coke is
  • TIM HORTONS!!!!!!!!!!!
  • All the cute squirrels, raccoons and chipmunks
  • the 24hr shifts at Toronto Fire Service
  • Pilsbury Pastries
  • Beaver Tails!!!
