streets of Toronto

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2010.11.19

Toronto's streets are so different from Tokyo's!

Broken pavement, street cars*, large and brilliant graffiti, aggressive panhandlers, street hot dog vendors, and of course confrontation. Today someone took one look at me in my shirt & tie and zip-up sweater from Mark's Work Wearhouse and said aloud, "A real anal type." Sigh.

Found some really good falafel at lunch while running some errands. No city has a monopoly on good food!

*technically, these do exist in some small corners of Tokyo.
