To Canada and beyond

I made it to Munich for the second wedding in Germany and back. I was only there for less than 5 days again, so the jetlag is really impeding my focus right now. However, I felt like I should keep the blog going nevertheless. So here we are, I'm back in Toronto. The weather is a lot nicer than it was in Germany. Everything is coming together quite nicely. A new bookshelf for the office should be arriving end of next week and the couch hopefully arrives mid August. It'll be nice to get organized and have a place to chill properly. The couch delivery was a long time in the making; 2.5 months to be precise. Which even in hindsight sounds like a crazy long time. But even after extensive search for alternative furniture the decision was easy since there was no equal when it came to quality or style.

Summertime in Toronto is great. Even though it's pretty hot (sometimes even nearly too hot) there is so much to do.

The city of Toronto organizes a lot of festivals during summer, so that todays Thailand festival happened at the same time as one of the Indian festivals (I think there was even a parade). It was pretty good. However, today's highlight was the unexpected discovery of a very nice café . They had excellent homemade lemonade. Tasty! You probably noticed that there are a few more links on this post. I have decided to use the associations to shorten my explainations (I'm lazy afterall) and for personal reference. Alright I'll keep this entry short. Hopefully I'll be back with more shortly after next weeks visit to Germany (the second wedding).

Okay, I think this is so far the longest break between posts on my blog. Over the last half a year a lot has happened. To describe everything that happened in detail in the scope of this blog would be a rather hopeless endeavor. So I will stick to (or is it stick with?) the essentials. Since Christmas in Germany the snow has come and gone a few times over in Toronto. Yesterday's Canada Day celebrations brought patio weather and so loads of people were out on the streets again. Many friends took the long weekend as a chance to travel. However, being still a little exhausted from the previous weekend that entailed a wedding in Germany I rather cherished to stay local. So, after some research on Canada Day events it turned out that almost everything was family oriented, which is not that much fun if you don't have kids. However, due to the recent move to a just as nice apartment as before (or a so called condo in North America) in better location there are now so many possibi
