Back Home

I'm back in Toronto finally. Phew.

The plane ride back went a lot better than the ride out. It was pretty quiet and I was able to sleep most of the way.

One thing that I gotta say: When you land in Canada, there are no separate lines for Canadian citizens, and that sucks. So I had to resort to racial profiling and seek out the line with the most white people in it. Actually that worked pretty well... which is sad. But hey, if I could know which line had the most "Canadian" people, I would have chosen that one. The brutal truth is that you get held back if your line has a family of 10 which insist on ALL going up to the counter at once. And empirically I have only seen visible minorities pull that stunt.

Of course my racial profiling idea backfired on me at Heathrow airport's passport control. The guy in front of me was white, but he wasn't British, and not only did he over stay his visa, but he was also trying to be tricky with the official customs lady. "You have over stayed your visa date..." she says as he gives her a blank look, "Have you re-entered?". Seizing his chance "Oh yeahh that's it.. um... yeah" he says. "Really? Why don't you have an entry or departure stamp on your passport? When did you re-enter exactly, and where?" she asks. At this point I realized I chose the wrong line. Damn you racial profiling!!!


Anyway I did get to hang out with Kevin on Sunday, we got up pretty early and went out to get "Roast". I guess its normal to go to a pub for breakfast and get whatever meat they happen to be roasting up. I got roast chicken with yorkshire pudding, chips, and veggies. Kev got a pint of ale, but I wimped out and got some cranberry Schwepps. We played some more games... Culdcept, Mario Party 5, even a little Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. I have to say, Culdcept is really cool. A neat mix of Monopoly and Magic.

Oh yeah, fun fact: Cambridge has some creepy creepy schools. I think this was the school of the creepy giant mr. potato head hunters...


Mmmm needs some sour cream and bacon bits...
