Packed like sardines in a crushed tin box

Posted in writing at 2:36 pm by chaf

There are worse things in life than traveling 80 km/h in a tin tube amongst hundreds even thousands of somber zombies.  Tapping toes, newspaper fidgeting, and the blaring iPods compete against the hypnotic lullaby of train meeting track.  Two types of zombies exist in these tubes: doers and daydreamers.  Both types co-exist en mass guarding their personal bubble with minimal effort accepting the fact that $2.75 will get them places on time.  Nobody escapes the tube lining which encourages them to purchase new cars, cell phones, or an excuse to leave the metropolis to roast on a sunny beach thousands of miles away.  Boredom breeds creative thought, fear, and curiosity sometimes twice a day for these mind numbing brains.  Enjoy the sanity as you “Ride the Rocket”.

Toronto: The City I Love to Hate

Posted in October, Travel at 6:54 pm by chaf

 Bravo

The Good:

Being an unmarked ant

Cultural diversity

Coffee shops on every block

Delicious dinners

Photo Ops

Street meat

Smart Art

 

 

The Bad: 

Being packed like sardines into crushed tin boxes

Not enough bathrooms

Impatient patrons

Blind businessmen gazing into their blackberrys as they stride towards success

Feeling smog on your skin

Homeless people sleeping on  subway vents to stay warm

Never-ending trash

Advertising Uselessness
