Toronto #Niagara Falls and multicultural family I have visited!!

 I woke up and wondered “where am i? ah I’m in Walled, a small city half an hour from Niagara Falls, Gisele and Joe’s house where I stayed. Claudia’s aunty. What nice persons they are, they didn’t know me but let me stayed. Gisele dropped me to Niagara Falls around 11ish. It was beautiful… waterfalls, words sometimes fail to describe how wonderful God’s creation is! These Huge waterfalls, green color makes it even more unique… it bright sunny day. Blue sky, the mist and the fall, no wonder why there are so many  people come from all over the world just to see these waterfalls, it was way worthy… Canadian waterfall is bigger than American but they both look magnificent and huge.

The place packed with tourists already, they jammed along the big stone fence around the waterfalls. Taking pictures, some of them were in the maid of the mist, a boat tour which takes you closer to the falls. I walked along the stone fence taking a bunch of pictures myself. An hour walk under the sunny day was kind a tiring. The heat was really hit the skin, I joined the long queue of the mist boat ticket, $16.50 they give us plastic jacket and off we go to the Niagara on this boat with probably 200 tourists. As usual, they explained the history, the name and etc. it was pretty interesting when it got to the mist… cool it down… 15 minutes or so… short boat ride. I don’t recommend this boat coz I think you can look the waterfall so much better from on top of the cliff. Just wasting moneyJ. 4 hours in Niagara Falls  I had enough, I ate the peanut butter sandwich Gisele game me, and sat under the tree looking at the view of the waterfalls.

Gisele picked me at 4ish, home and dinner… chick dish with a glass of white wine.. we talked a lot abt each travel experience, Gisele opened this big map and pointed the countries that she has been to.. more than 30 countries... Goodness, she has been everywhere!!! I just could say wow!!! the house and the neighbor was very nice and quiet, they have this nice terrace in the backyard where we had our meal… so peaceful. I enjoyed it!. I left walled and st. Catherine Tuesday afternoon and head back to Toronto to see my friend Val. OMG I was so excited!! I haven’t seen her for 8 years!! We met in Yorkdale, big shopping mall. I took My first subway in Toronto and it was FUN! but the bag kills my back… so heavy! She was so excited to see me!! so did i! we celebrated and had small dinner. She took me to her nice house, met her Italian parents and her nieces ah they were so adorable.. they talked a lot and so friendly… I always love kids!!!

Free tour around the city , I enjoyed her sport car ride pretty much! it was so cool, unfortunately it was raining so we didn’t see much but drove around. i was happy anyway! I didn’t see much but I was happy to see her! Her mom cooked real Italian food for dinner and it was delicious!!! real Italian!! I was so lucky! Val n her family was so nice! I love her beautiful nieces instantly so cute and adorable.  

Next was Nick’s house!!! Val dropped me there, just like what nick has explained before, I wasn’t surprised to see her Chinese mom and Indian Dad, but they r originally from Trinidad. They live in this nice neighborhood, his mom welcomed me, nick gave me his room….  I didn’t find any girl stuffs in this house coz they all are boys expect his mom… without wasting the time, nick took me to Toronto night tour to see the life and the lights! With his gf named Chantal. He drove us to downtown and explained things just like a tour guide; the city gay-street, Toronto University where he studied, Toronto time square, china town, shopping streets, Toronto’s only castle, ect… we ended up having Chinese food!! it was so good. I had a good good night!   

It was so nice to see Nick again, last time I saw him was in Feb this year. He came to Indonesia with his cousin… he also love traveling. So im pretty sure I will see him again!!!. we had a long talk about random thing from the past. It’s always Good to catch up the missing years. I slept so so  late this morning, around 4.30am… sometimes it’s hard to close ur eyes when u are not in a familiar place. I have been moving to different houses 4 times… YES!!! From French family to another French family to Italian Family and Trinidad family…. From Claudia’s house to Gisele’s house to Val’s house then Nick’s house!! But I was so so lucky! These people are good and nice people who let me stayed at their place in their nice confortable bed and fed me with their delicious food. imagine how much would have spent if I have to pay all the accommodation for 2 weeks in Canada!!!

I promise myself I will keep traveling until I’m old and perhaps when we have a house I will open my door and welcome anybody, family, friends of family, friends, family of friends, friends of friends… whoever want to stay at my place… !! it felt so good to have a place to stay (for free n save) when u travel coz accommodation is always be the headline of the travel budget!!

Ah I love this Canada trip and I love my dear friends and I admire new people I met along the way! I will always be positive and enjoy every second of my travel days… I am happy with what I have and thankful for this opportunity, im lucky to see and experience things that others might not have seen n experiences… i have a good time of my life and I cherish every moment of it!!! love it!!!
