Sweet Thing remains. Perhaps the heaviest thing I’ve eaten in a while. Requires at least three people to finish.
Street knitwear. Not uncommon in Toronto.
Billy Bishop Airport.
A glorious day for flying

Tax in Canada
God I hate tax. Here are some links that have helped me get through it.
- Newcomers guide - Good intro to what you need to be doing.
- Tax Calculator - this will tell you if you have any tax you need to pay. Apparently you only need to pay tax if your worldwide income was more than $10,822 for the calendar year (this is your personal tax free allowance and it’s pro rated).
- Details for the International Tax Office - better than the regular office
This is what four months of my coffee habit looks like. Based on this, I go through about a kilo per month. I’m really lucky that Toronto has quite a few good roasters. I’ve enjoyed Te Aro and Social which are both local. Unfortunately Te Aro is on the wrong side of town for me to regularly visit, however I go to Manic coffee (on College) which has a good range - plus, they have a regular supply of Intelligentsia from Chicago. I probably wouldn’t recommend CoffeeTree - a bit too heavily roasted for me.
