Rod in Toronto Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 go to lestudio I'll Google it, but it's far from Toronto, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Damn these Le Studio fanatics sure are annoying aren't they? Yes Rod it's kind of far from Toronto. It's in Quebec which I'm sure is a few hundred miles from where you are. You and your family got a lot more to worry about with moving to a new country before you need to worry about a road trip to a broken down, dilapidated old studio. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not exactly the ruins of Pompeii or Jim Morrison's grave. Not much to see here, move along...... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod in Toronto Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Did you go up to the observation deck of the tower? Not yet...we actually went to the aquarium, and just walked past the tower. I have a feeling it's more fun to see from the outside than going up there, but we'll see. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been up to the CN tower in a long time but that glass floor freaks me out. Awesome view though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That first step on the glass is really not for the faint-hearted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Ok, I´m convinced...I´ll try to go up to the tower today. Now that the house is almost 100% set, my daily routine is: take Stella to school, do some exercise, look for a job, pick her up at 02:30 and hang out with her until her mother comes home around 07pm. We´ve been around town a lot, and I just love the time we spend together - although she can be a bit cranky sometimes when she doesn´t want to put her coat on. Last week we went to Casa Loma, and she loved the place: http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k210/RodrigoAltaf/CAsa%20Loma_zps0numo0wh.jpg 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 So my first time at Massey Hall will be a Ricky Gervais stand up, in July. I'm a big fan, looking forward to it!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod in Toronto Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Thanks Lucas...I just noticed I haven't been updating this topic for the past weeks, but we continue to be happy about our choice to come over. I started to do some volunteer work, and Stella will join pre-school on a full time basis in July. Veronica is concerned with her course, but only got great grades so far, and I'm sure she'll manage it. From a business perspective, some may see it as a career suicide - we both had our jobs and some security. But at this stage I don't mind taking a step back, having a downgrade and finding a job with less responsibility. I think the volunteer work I'm doing will open doors very soon. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod, what you are doing is fantastic, and I applaud you ... Life is not about remaining static .. No matter where we go, we are needed and have roles, and you will find yours where you are 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 A few more pics from our day to day so far...Stella and I went to the CN Tower on Victoria Day, and to St. Lawrence Market a few days after that. And the three of us went to Kensington Market and Chinatown last Friday - I DEMANDED that Veronica took a break from her studies, which were stressing her way too much: http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k210/RodrigoAltaf/IMG_20170522_142229655_zpsk4ppgw4g.jpg http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k210/RodrigoAltaf/IMG_20170516_165802007_zpskqh2vukt.jpg http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k210/RodrigoAltaf/IMG_20170523_153725470_zpsozso1unj.jpg http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k210/RodrigoAltaf/IMG_20170602_162447268_zpsbp3fslex.jpg 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 I'm quite happy today... found a volunteer spot at CAMSC - Canadian Aboriginal and Minority Supplier Council. It's a perfect way to know more about the market and find my feet in the corporate world here in Canada. I'll start in July. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
