725. Last Weeks in Toronto

Hello from Spain! We are currently in La Coruna as I make this post. In fact it's already the final day of our 2-week trip. We have a flight to London in a few hours then we will stay the night there. Tomorrow we go back to Toronto.
This trip was booked kind of last minute and it wasn't really planned. We spent a few days in Edinburgh first then came to La Coruna (my boyfriend's hometown) to visit his family and some other things he had to do here.

I'm pretty behind on my blog now. I will do the vacation posts once we get back to Toronto..but at least I managed to complete the main Peru posts before we left lol.

Here are the photos from the last couple weeks in Toronto before the trip.


Reading Sapiens, which I now finished! I really enjoyed the book.


A new Akira Back restaurant called DASHA. The cocktails were really good and nicely presented. The food was also delicious and tasted really authentic. However it is pricey for what it is, since Chinese food is generally really cheap at other places. For example the "har gow"/shrimp dumplings order was $14. At dim sum restaurants they are maybe ~$5.




We went to Ripley's Aquarium for their Halloween event called Dark Waters.







When we left Toronto, this was what it looked like. Now I guess it is way colder and snowier..


It was my first time visiting the Evergreen Brick Works park and walking along the Belt Line..I really loved it!






Now I must go and finish packing..

532. Day 18 | Osaka back to Hong Kong

Today we returned back to Hong Kong from Osaka! We had a late afternoon/evening flight so we had the morning free. We visited Osaka Castle then went to a "Premium Outlets" for shopping before our flight. I actually don't like outlets back in North America but the one at Osaka was pretty good..I ended up buying a few things I really love! I mostly got winter/fall clothes here which should be good for when we return back to Toronto (not looking forward to it)..as I heard it's quite cold there now. By the way, here in Hong Kong now it's still in the high 20s/30 degrees.

The past few posts I made on here were quite lengthy so this will be a short post because I have to go to sleep now..almost 2:30am here. Just finished watching The Conjuring (for maybe my fifth time?!) with my sister and uncle..now I'm the only one still left awake so I'm kind of scared lol.





All the dogs in Japan are sooo beautiful and cute! Especially this one we saw today!! She just sat and stared at her owner the whole time while he was eating. Makes me miss mine!

290. Halloween at the ROM + Pravda

Crystal Head Vodka contacted me last week saying they loved the photos I've posted before of their bottle, and wanted to send me a little gift. They sent me these cute little skull shot glasses! Not quite as photogenic as the actual bottle though. I took more photos of them..will post them all next time.

Halloween this year falls on Wednesday next week, so this weekend was when all the parties were. I went to the "All Hallows' Eve" party at the ROM (museum) & also back to back Pravda nights!! Had so much fun..going to split up all my photos into 2 posts as there's wayyyy too many. Here's part 1!


Here's my "costume" - though I use that term loosely because this is what I normally wear lol (minus the Russian naval officer hat). I got a lot of compliments on it, including one guy who was sent by his girlfriend to ask where I got my entire outfit...



I went with my sister to this party at the ROM/museum..it was so cool!! There was a lot of food, drinks and music. They pretty much turned it into a club-like atmosphere. Great venue for a Halloween party! & almost everyone was in costume.

Now for some food pics..these tasted amazing. They're from Fidel Gastro's. We ordered the "Sgt. Slather": BBQ pulled pork, guacamole & crushed tortilla chips - sooooo good.

Fries & a baked potato stuffed with a myriad of toppings. Loved it as well. Every time I do a blog post with food posts I get so hungry...craving this right now lol.


Then we went to the second level for some cupcakes from Curbside Bliss Cupcakes. I had the cotton candy flavoured one. After that..back down to where all the action was:


A horse!


The sumo wrestler's costume deflated at the end of the night hahah. Probably got a hole in it.



After the ROM party, I went with a couple people to Pravda..where else would I go wearing a Russian hat? I used to bring that hat all the time back when I first started Pravda-ing..will have to start again.



PS: Part II here
