In the shopping centre : Vaughan Mills...

Yesterday I decided to do some shopping for people who asked me stuffs from Canada...so here I was... it was quite far, and I don't have any idea how I could arrive there, without map and nothing!
First I had to go to Dowview stn, and I arrived there I had to take a special bus to go to the one of the biggest shopping centre in Toronto. The bus driver told me I had to change for an another bus. He stopped me in the middle of nowhere, in a big country with few houses. I ran a little until the stop the busdriver told me. When I waited for it I was alone in the bus stop. Finally, after 30 minutes waiting for the fucking bus, I arrived alive in my destination. When I saw the shopping centre I couldn't believe it: it was so so so HUGE!

It was the perfect place for any shopalcoholic: a lot of shops Esprit, Tommy Hilfiger, Guess, calvin klein, Lacoste,...too much to remember. What it surprised me, was how cheap the clothes are here. For example I bought a short in Hilfiger shop for only $30 (10€)!!

Unfortunaly I didn't find converses shoes and Levi's trousers. But don't worry people I would buy in NY.

There is a hand sanitizer EVERYWHERE! : in class, in a coffee,...You just have to push it and you watch your hands with it.

In all the shopping centre, there are big screens and you can see a sport match or t.v. I've just noticied that there were only guys (the girls are doing shopping of course!)

Rogers Wireless is like Telefonica in Spain or France Telecom in France. Everybody has this brand; I think there is no competition-not sure-


There was big decorations: with planes, bears, etc...really amazing and of course there is always a Canada's flags!

Toronto's beach.

The last thursday we went to the beach to play volley ball; it was quite funny and my team won (I was there that's why! lol). Here it's typical to play it with your friends, after school or during the weekend.

Today, it's sunday and I decided to go alone once again to get tone. At the beginning the sky was cloudy, but suddenly the sun began to get out and it started to be really warm.

Tonight I'm gonna have a dinner with my kind family at the restaurant; that's why I prefered to back early.

What could more I can tell you? I'm just fed up with the foods here. For lunch they only eat a sandwich (like in London) and they have dinner at 7pm and they used to put rices, hamburgers, pizzas, meats,...well, everything is so calorie...xxx


the view from the beach: the CN Tower and the city's buildings

The houses in front of the beach. I liked the colours!

My big feets!! lol

Me myself and I with my new hat I bought yesterday, do you like it?

The name of the beach I was: Woodbine, it's just in the south of Toronto

Hansa's party

The CN Tower by day it isn't so beautiful but by night it's just amazing. It changes the colours every 3 or 4 seconds, like a rainbow.

Ana, Noe, Carlos, Eva(Spain), Yoh (Japan), Palmyre(Martinique)


Oupssss....lol

The dancefloor

The music was good but the nightclub was so full of people. Actually we didn't take a lot of picks, but I just put you some of them we took with Carlos.

doing shopping in downtown

When I was walking I saw a church of scientology. Maybe you don't mind, but it's just surprised me because in France it's forbidden, and it was the first time I saw one.

Me with the CN Tower





In one of my next post I'll put a special one with the cars and the trucks ok? It's so amazing how huge it's.

Let's go to the first party!

We wanted to go to "Momentos" a famous nightclub yesterday; but when we arrived there, because of the queue we decided to move into an other one. So we finished in a great place where they play house music.

I've tried my black hat and everybody loved it. We took some pics with it.
We also drank a canadian beer which it was icky! It tasts like water...

Chinatown in Toronto

Carlos wanted to buy some cheap stuffs, so we followed him in Chinatown. Actually I didn't like it, but we laughted a lot there...

Let's go to Chinatown!

During Canada's day (it was the 1th of july) canadian people used to play songs with this plastic whale. You have to push the hole where it comes out water and it plays you music...well it's like a piano...
We laughted a lot 'cause it completly wet you!

My wonderful surprise...

Just a short message to thank this person who sent me this wonderful roses!!

miss you so so much!!

Who eats better? Qui mange le mieux? Carlos ou moi?

In a Canadian's supermarket, european people can find surprises inside...



I bought salad and bagels (my favourite food here)

Carlos bought potato chips...so who eats better?

Some curiosity in Canada...

I explain you:
it's not cheese or sth like that, it's Milk!! But I don't know if you can see very well, but the milk is inside a transparent plastic inside. It also exists the typical bottle of milk like in Europe, but a lot of people prefer this kind of system, because it's cheaper than the other system. When they arrive at home, they just put it in a carafe. Actually I miss the Finland milk!

I was SO SURPRISE to see the ice cream section!! There was the hugest ice cream I haven't seen before. Remember, in "Sex in the City", when Carry was so sad that Mister Big left her, so she used to open a big ice cream like that...lol. Maybe I have to bring an ice cream like that when I discuss with my boyfriend, right? lol

There is this kind of shop in each corner of the street. As you know, they didn't eat a lot at 1pm; so a lot of people don't have time to buy sth, they just used to buy a hot dog, and go to work. Actually I haven't try it (don't want to take weight! lol)but Carlos told me that it fills him up!

To buy newspapers in the morning...love that system; why they don't do the same in Europe??

My home & my room

I wanted to show you how big was my room, and love so much the Canadian's home...it seems you're in one of that american's movies...lol


My street: Bessarion Road.

One of the house in my street. A lot of people, here are very patriotic: they put the Canadian's flag.

My TV. and I've just bought some candles, like in Finland (and the same scent: Cinnamon!!it remembers my dear finland family.

My family's home.

Welcome once again!

Finally I decided to follow my blog because I've just arrived in Toronto yesterday. One of my dream comes true...do you remember how many times I told you " I want to go to Canada! I want to go to Canada!"...so here I'm after this long time.


The first thing I've to tell that all the canadians people are so nice, they always smile you, help you,...so different of french people, lol

I've passed the entrance test in the Language Academy this morning, and I thought I would forget some words or some stuffs in english...and finally I had 80% of good answers (18/20 in Grammar- my favourite subject-
17/20 in vocabulary
and only 5/10 in reading -the text was really hard-)

Well they put me in the highest level, so it isn't so bad!

In the afternoon, we visited the CN Tower (where you can see all Toronto). It wasn't so great and the Glass Floor was really tiny. We took some pics with Carlos, Noelia, Andrea and Ana.
Hope you liked my back here and enjoy it xxx

The typical bus we all watched in series or movies xxx

Mes poemes préférés...

"Purify" - Kathleen Raine (1908-2003)

Purify my sorrow,
Weeping rain,
Clouds that blow
Away over countries where none know
From whose heart world’s tears flow.
Purify
My sorrow, bright beams
Of the sun’s light that travels for ever away
From here and now, where I lie.
Purify
Heart’s sorrow in the dust, int the grave
And furrow where the corn is sown,
End and beginning.
Purifier I cry
With the breath of the living,
Loud as despair, or low


"Eternity"- William Blake:

He who binds to himself a joy
Does the winged life destroy;
But he who kisses the joy as it flies
Lives in eternity's sun rise.
As a sigh, voice
Of the air, of the winds
That sound for ever in the harmony of the stars.

To see a world in a grain of sand
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour.

Traduction pour les frenchies: "Dans un grain de sable voir un monde
et dans chaque fleur des champs le Paradis,
faire tenir l'infini dans la paume de la main
et l'Éternité dans une heure"
