Why change a good topic... So today I went to ROM: http://www.rom.on.ca/en. It has multiple layers of stuff to see from dinosaurs to present day. The map if very handy tool to have, as otherwise you might miss some parts. Also do not be afraid to walk through doors. Usually in museums the areas where you are allowed to walk are open areas and a closed door means that you are not allowed there. Any how, there is so much to see! I walked it through from top to bottom (well bottom to top), in roughly 2,5 hours. Once a lady stepped on my toes as she was not listening to instructions that the guy was giving her. (She should have gone forward but instead she started to step back.) If you have kids, expect to stay there longer. I would recommend starting from the top and coming down, as the food place is downstairs.
Then after that I went to CNE: http://theex.com/. There was even more to see and do. My only mistake was, that I already had walked quite a lot for the day, and there really is not that many places where you can rest in CNE. There was the food court, but it was so noisy that I did not like it. I walked around for a bit, and went into the shopping court. Don't remember what it was really called, but there were lots of sellers and buyers i.e. lots of shopping. I thought I would not buy that much from there, but I found the store from where I have bought few shirts before, so I had to buy. I bought 8 items for less then 60 dollars! I calculated the tags, and the total was 230 dollars. So based on the numbers I got about 74% discount. Compared to the actual value what they probably have sold the items in the store, I assume I got about 60% discount. Not too shabby. Also as it was the first day of the event, the entrance was only 8 dollars. If I want to go again, the entrance will be 16 dollars. I would have stayed longer today, but I got too tired so I had to come home.
Total usage of transfer so far for today is three. I am thinking if I should go to the movies or not...
