I'm currently in the process of buying a condo in Toronto. Kind of stressed right now. I just met with my realtor today and he seems to be a stand up guy actually outlining his fiduciary duties. It's a large step going into home ownership and I'm nervous.

I have a modest down payment and a hard ceiling I don't want to cross and become "house poor".

Anyone been through the real estate game in the GTA recently and can share their experience? I've been a born and raised "east ender" Possibly moving west of Dufferin is both an exciting and scary proposition.

take your time find something you like. don't jump in unless you're sure you're sure. that being said, don't try to time the market by waiting for a lull or drop. buy what you need and what you can afford when you need it. if you need it now, buy now, if you don't, then wait.

Is anyone is still playing Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate? A coworker mentioned that there's a group of hunters playing at A&C games on Thursdays. I think I'm going to drop by one week. Probably a good chance to grab some puzzle pieces and visit animal crossing towns.

added_time's ban is self imposed because he wants to stop being a lame internet person.

He still loves you all and you can contact him through Steam if you want. His Steam ID is torontoDowntown. Also he might lurk around and show up unexpectedly at the meetups.

Is anyone going to this Torontaru get together? Saw one of the Capy guys talking about it. Not sure if it's industry only, but it seems open to everyone. Here is the facebook link.

Well, it rained a lot. It was also very hot and humid. I'm glad to be back because at least it's much cooler here.

I picked up some sweets. Specifically, different flavoured Kit Kats (Green Tea!).

You can still get those at Pacific Mall ya know. Got some 3 weeks ago. Asian humid weather is pretty shite from what I remember. I was in HK for a summer course.... :(

I'll be in an intensely cooled office :D. Sometimes it's too cold! I remember once the AC went down and they sent us home. The shit law office I worked at also had the same problem and all they did was give them cheap ice cream.

How much are the green tea kit kats? Because at T&T they are like 8 bucks.

My uncle who works in Japan is visiting and he brought some, said it was like about 3 bucks (in yen) over there.

The twelve-pack green tea kit kats typically range from $5 to $8 over here. I went to a Japanese supermarket in New Jersey called "Mitsuwa" and it was roughly around $6.

It'll definitely be cheaper in Japan but you're mostly just paying for the price of having it imported over here.

I know, but I saw the store and I couldn't resist. And it was probably slightly cheaper than what they're being peddled for in Pacific Mall.
