Brel: One of my favourite joints in Glasgow because they have Belgian mussels, frites and beeri have booked my flight home for Christmas and should be back in glorious Toronto for December 20th! i am looking forward to seeing family and friends and eating at all of my favourite places once again. It's going to be strange; i don't think that i have ever been away from Canada this long - even when i was a student over here, i still managed to get home a lot more (by the way, long distance relationships suck). i haven't been in Canada for 8 months now and i hate to admit it, but i think i have completely adjusted to Scottish life.
i look the right way when crossing the streets; i can navigate round abouts; i can (almost) understand the locals (if they speak slow enough); i drink Irn Bru instead of Coke or Pepsi; i pay my council tax and begrudge Glasgow Council for it; i watch football; i'm no longer confused when i wake up in the mornings now and it is still pitch-black outside; i drink tea in place of coffee (but still miss a Tim Hortons double double); and i watch and listen to the BBC. Don't get me wrong: Glasgow still kills me with its lack of recycling and weird men but for the most part, i'm loving it here.
i do miss snow though. And i fucking hate the rain!

Tim Hortons has gone downhill since they sold out to the Americans.
No loss. Go for a capaccino in Cabbagetown.
Or drop into Ottawa, and I'll take you on a skate on the Canal, or a trip up the peace tower.
(For some reason, the password doesn't work for me. Go figure! Or drop into my blog...www.yusefjournal.blogspot.com)
