You know you’re a grade A procrastinator when a friend asks advice about where to live in Toronto, and instead of giving a three sentence answer, you take a break from your MA thesis and illustrate a colour-coded map.
I do love Toronto. A lot. It’s a patchwork of unique neighborhoods. Once you start living there, each neighborhood feels like its own small community. If you get bored, you can walk ten blocks over and suddenly you have a whole different feel. This is something that Ottawa really lacks (with the possible exception of Centertown, the Glebe and Westboro.)
Too bad most Canadians have a disdain for Toronto. I think this is because they only see the concrete jungle area around the CN tower.
If I had to choose a Canadian city to settle down in, I’d choose Toronto, hands down.

I’m heading to Edmonton tomorrow to visit my family for two weeks. Will probably write some musings on the cultural differences between Ontario and Alberta. I’ll have to also write 5 pages a day during those two weeks if I want to get my thesis finished before I leave for Central America in June.
