Thank God for a good day in Toronto, Canada 7/15 (Day 4) Niagara Falls

Day 3 is here! Without haste, lets get started!

I tried to go to Tim Horton, Canada's version of Starbucks, but it wasn't open even when it was around 6AM. I settled for Mcdonalds around the area. Got to my Greyhound in the city to finally start a day in Niagara. 

Niagara falls 

*Warning: If you take the Greyhound, you will be dropped off in a 20-30 minute walk distance from the Falls. Didn't know about this so make sure you plan your time right if using Greyhound because you will also need to spend the time in coming back to the meeting area if you are doing a roundtrip. *

Up close and personal

The ticket for the ride is roughly $25 U.S. You get a poncho so make good use of it otherwise it's a free bath. I heard the falls are spectacular at night. 

Thank God for a good day in Toronto, Canada 7/14 (Day 3) TFCON Toronto 2018!

 Aloha, day 2 is here! Today is TFCON day in Mississauga, Canada!

Breakfast here.

 

For starters, the Presto card allows you to ride the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) bus/Subway and Gobus. You load funds into the card. From what I heard if you use Presto, you get a minor discount off the Gobus. Just remember that when it comes to Gobus, you need to tap on and tap off when you get on and off the bus. The Gobus was needed here to travel a long distance from the city- about 40 minutes to be exact. The convention was hosted in the Hilton Mississauga. 

TFCON 2018!

I bought an early registration pass so I was able to go in @9AM rather than 11AM. The funny thing was that when they asked my I.D. to confirm registration, they were shocked that I was from Hawaii! They wondered why I traveled so far but I was welcomed nonetheless. I was able to acquire some figures that I wanted. Every few hours there were Q and A with some of the invited Voice actor guests.

July 12 - To AirBnB and rest:

Came during the evening around 4PM. Traffic was busy so I didn't arrive to the Yonge-Sheppard area till 6ish by Uber. I wasn't feeling too good though I walked Yonge St for a little. I ended up buying Smoke's Poutinerie traditional fries and it was good though its full of carbs so be careful. I slept by 9ish Toronto time. I didn't get a pic of the store but its @ 4716 Yonge St, North York, ON M2N 5M4, Canada. A bit pricey but good.

 

July 13- Chinatown, City Hall, Kensington St, Eaton Centre and more!

I jogged for a little bit and came across Avonshire Park.

 

Met up with my Okcupid bud- Jen Chao who showed me around. For once i didn't log my journals down so I'll try to remember what I did chronologically to the best of my knowledge. We went for some bake goods first!








Then we caught the subway and buses to Chinatown. You will see some pics of the CN tower from this point. Located in Chinatown was also

Kensington Market.

 

Sukoshi Mart

Ditto for this one.

More Legends to come! A Transformers story.

Been feeling a little down lately plus working lots. Still haven't gotten to finalizing the Metroplex review. Anyhow, I decided to complete season 4 of Transformers: The headmasters. I even got Windblade who is this current gen but I decided that I need some fembots. I also got Twintwist and Topspin whose G1 toys were made but were never featured in any of the cartoons/anime.

Hopefully I can review these folks soon. Laters.
