Continuing on from my last post, the Wednesday after Xmas was actually a quiet day for me, after the last few days of partying. Just went to the cinema and went skating. Back to Thursday which was another party night, but we stayed in most of the night to keep the spending down. To be honest, I can't remember what I did for half these days as over the last 2 weeks all the days have just run into each other. Oh well.
Friday, was another big night for us. We had bought tickets a few weeks back for the basketball. The Chicago Bulls were playing the Toronto Raptures. It was another great game, really enjoying the basketball. The atmosphere at the games is great. Unfortunately the Rapture's lost again. I think I may be bad luck for them. If I lived over here i'd definitely follow the basketball and its so cheap to get the tickets too if you get them in advance. After that we went back to the hostel for a few drinks and games of pool with a gang from Brazil. Then we moved onto our favourite club, The Underground. I met a nice Dublin girl in there who's been living here for a few years and is a professional golfer, scratch handicap and everything. I told her I could be her caddie due to my vast experience.
Saturday was Angela's last night in Toronto before she flied off to Banff (another ski resort), so we went out for some drinkin and dancin and then had a full blown party in our place to celebrate. Craziest night ever that i'll just leave to your imaginations. Then multiply it by ten.
I'm glad we had such a good night that night as New Years Eve was a big let down. Mainly because it was lashing rain outside which was unfortunate as it really hasn't rained much since we got here. After some drinks at home we went to City Hall where there was a fire works show on at midnight. The place was jammed but everyone had umbrella's so we couldn't see anything. We just found a dry spot way back, waited for midnight and once the fireworks were done we headed on.
We tried an Irish bar that was close by but headed after one drink as the place was dead. Then we decided to just go back to the hostel as it was close and we knew we'd know a lot of people. We had good craic for most of the night with the usual gang and then right at the end of the night I was chatting to one of the girls working there when the barmen came over and dragged myself, Glen and Jamie out and told us we were barred. It was crazy as none of us were too drunk and had done nothing. I always thought that barman was a dick anyway so he really proved himself that night. Outside he was trying to get stuck in me and was saying i'm always in there walking around with a big smile on my face. Couldn't help but laugh when he said that. Wanker. I've no intention of going back there now giving them anymore of my money. I have everyone's numbers in there that I hang around with anyway, so we'll still meet up.
And that about sums up my crazy Christmas. Must say I really enjoyed myself over all and it was good to experience Christmas out of Ireland. I had been mentioning to most of ye that it's still not cold over here. Well it turns out it was the warmest December ever in Toronto. I sure picked a good year to come. It will be a big shock when I head to Whistler though. Finally just at the end of the year I saw my favourite movie of the year. Children of Men. Loved it to pieces. It was actually out in the cinema's back home the weekend I left home, but it just came out over here last week. I've been dying to see it and it surpassed my expectations. Classic.
