Road Trip to Algonquin Provincial Park 14 Oct 07

Road trip to Algonquin Provincial Park with my floormates from the fifth floor of my residence on Sunday 14 October 2007.

It was one of the best trips I've been on so far. The scenery was gorgeous and the company of my floormates was great.

I shall let the photos speak for themselves.

First stop: Hardwood Lookout Trail



























Second stop: Peck Lake Trail

























Third stop: Lookout Trail

































Fourth stop: Ragged Falls Viewing Area

















Looking forward to going to Casa Loma (a haunted castle) this sunday with my floormates again!

thanksgiving weekend

Thanksgiving weekend was spent with hongjuan. She came down to toronto last friday.

Yiling went off to new york with her jc friends on friday night, so hongjuan and I spent saturday in toronto.

First stop - Chinatown


we went to a chinese restaurant


contented hongjuan


i look as though i haven't eaten for ages


excited by hum chim peng


and we finished everything.

At night we watched a musical with only five actors, a pianist and no props. We enjoyed ourselves.

The next day, we set off for waterloo but before that, we went to chinatown to buy chinese pastries and shopped at Eaton Centre near my residence. I bought a pair of shoes and sunglasses from Aldo (they had a sale and things were going at really cheap prices) and two lovely tops from Stitches. Burned a hole in my pocket, but I'm happy!

Waterloo is very different from toronto. It is rather quiet and there are few buildings. It looks like a sleepy little town. No wonder hongjuan says she's bored in waterloo.

But we saw nice things in waterloo that you can't see in bustling Toronto.
