Not to mention almost every place allowing you to pay using that card.
They've had decades to work it out in Asia although you could also ask why it took so damn long for us in North America to catch on.

I bought mine on the Gateway store in Sheppard-Yonge station.
Yeah it was the day before I left for Vancouver which was December 14 (Wednesday) because I wanted the UP Express discount. Crazy thing is all the gateway stores I asked wouldn't have them in stock until Monday. I tried yonge Sheppard, st Patrick, and union.
Man, since when does 10cm need a special weather statement?
We Vancouver, BC now

Double fuck you #teamcold
Oh they'll be a reckoning don't you worry. When we hit 40 with the humidity in July and sweat is trickling down your left ball I'll remember this post.
I like how on mobile this just goes right off the screen.

Snow tires ARE great. Man, what a great long-term purchase.
I shoveled my driveway, but I'm pretty sure i need to go out again to do a second clearing. this is gonna suck.

That's what mine said before she slid halfway into the intersection once. Now we always change our tires when winter starts.

Lololol hey Zroid, how bout all that extra exercise you got for nothing? Team warm prevailed and we're back to melted snow and plus weather.
And Lou traded Enroth for a 7th and Matthews is an all star!

Lol the Canucks selection for all-star is their goals (13) and points (29) leader through 42 games. I haven't been following the NHL for a while but that stat is just sad to see.

You are living an automotive version of Ground Hog Day, my friend. Which means additionally, that if you are not a member of foolish #TeamCold, then you're fucked because you will need to shovel your driveway, add salt, warm up your vehicle, and curse the bitter cold every day for an undefined and potentially infinite loop.

I need to find broad bean paste (doubanjiang) but don't want to go all the way to Chinatown to get it. I wish I had more Asian markets near me in the Danforth.
I can always find this stuff (Lee Kum Kee brand everywhere) when I'm not looking for it, funnily enough.
I'm sure one of our dependable generic Asian friends in this thread can hook you up.
I did some googling and I guess I could try T&T Supermarket near Woodbine. Anyone ever been?

The Canucks are the Leafs of previous years (meddling owners, no desire for rebuild, bad drafting) so GG.
Please go to the maid cafe and take pics
you pervert
It's trying to tell you it also hates the cold.
You try the Asian section of a western grocery store? They tend to have some unexpected stuff there. If not, go to Chinatown cause if they don't get support ain't nobody gonna get no bean paste.I need to find broad bean paste (doubanjiang) but don't want to go all the way to Chinatown to get it.

Western grocery stores are for filthy baka gaijin/gweilo and they usually don't have anything beyond kikkoman saunces. (I kid. I've checked my local loblaws and they don't have it. They care so much other LKK brand sauces and stuff, just not the 1 thing I'm looking for.)
Hey guys. Hamillton GAF reporting lol. Going to the ROM tomorrow and the GO is not an option since I have to go up north at night. Anyone have parking recs? I'm totally cool with parking further away and using the TTC. I'm not used to driving downtown so im trying not to get lost / get to a full parking lot then get lost.
thank you

If you're going North later on, I say try to find parking up North along the subway line and then just take the subway straight to Museum station.

If all else fails, Pacific Mall or it's nearby surroundings will always be a safe bet.
Also, I am back in Toronto on Monday night after nearly a month in London. People here are paranoid as fuck that they will experience Snowmageddon because it's supposed to snow a couple cm sometime tomorrow or on Friday.
Please summarize your weather experiences back home during the last 3.5 weeks, Kuro. So that I may prepare myself before returning.

Ok well that's a lot farther north.
Our crappy subway doesn't reach that far up but yeah check the subway map and any station north of Spadina should be good. It'll be easy to get to the museum and you're going back up (slightly). I guess you "could" nuts and go to Downsview or one of those other far north stations but it'd just make getting back down to Museum station longer.
Edit:strange today I had no traffic and there were plenty of seats on the Queen streetcar...glitch in the matrix?
Edit2: the weather has been disgusting and unpredictable. No snow but cold. Snow but not as cold. Snow and you have to shovel. Snow and if you shovel you're a Zroid. Snow then rain. Rain then snow. Minus weather the next few days and then plus weather next week. It's all going crazy.

Just in time for three of our birthdays. 😈
Thought you saw everything there was to see here last time?
:lol I've taken the TTC last time. I nearly missed my flight because the metro broke down in a tunnel.
I haven't seen Niagara Falls yet! So I'm gonna rent a car from YYZ and drive down there for a night or two. Probably just one. Then drive back to the city and do some things I might've missed last time.
T&T is like the premiere Canadian Chinese (and they usually have a few Japanese/Korean aisles) supermarket. That and you can try similar competitors (but that's mostly a Markham thing).
Like T&T is literally owned by Loblaws.
T&T will have it for sure.
The falls are great if you can get there on a day with smaller crowds otherwise you're gonna be cramped in with a bunch of tourists.
I don't like how they have become super commercialized though. A bunch of places there have become totally like a carnival.
