Four more weeks to go and I will be out of Toronto for a while. In the MEANtime I am working, continuing the extense process of emptying out an apartment and finding things to do/spending time with friends in the city. Not much time left to sleep I suppose. This past Friday I went to […]
Today I passed by Chinatown (Spadina Street) and found that they were selling 3 guavas for 5 dollars. The guavas had a good size but they were green, hard and did not smell like Cuban guavas 🙁 (sorry I get so specific) Besides, I think that this guava was white inside and the red ones […]
