Toronto in a day



Today I went to Toronto for the purpose of purchasing a new Back pack for my upcoming trip through Europe. Fabio joined me and we caught an early Greyhound bus into the city. Things i learnt while here was:

KFC in Canada is terrible!
Australian KFC is many times better, we have seasoning on the chips, they don't, we have full chicken breast patty's, they have fake chicken patty's, also the service was terrible, they forgot to put any meat at all on my burger...

Good backpacks are expensive, an arm and a leg later, I have a nice piece of nylon shaped like a bag...



People treat you differently when you walk through a city with a backpack, particulary when you walk into a pub and ask for "2 Fosters Mate!" (It was awsome! (Bugger that was clearly Canadian)). Something you Aussies may not know, Fosters here in Canada and also in England apparently is brewed under license locally, as a result, It's actually considered as a domestic beer, and a cheap one at that... Go Figure... (see the Blackboard below for proof!)

Anyway that aside I had my first ever Fosters with a Swiss Bloke, and later had all types of beers with some of my Rellies here in Canada at the local Bier Markt.
