I laugh at myself when I recall that towards the end of the night I believed I could still compete at any sort of level playing ping pong when in fact I was a lot more drunk than I wanted to believe. (Payam, that's why you won) I thank those strong…More »
O'Hare does not seem to be a particularly pretty airport but it is crazy busy and sees a lot of human and aircraft traffic go through it daily and seems to me like it manages to do all that in a pretty efficient manner.
Big points for being well…More »

You can hardly find a better spot for an Apple Store in Paris given the company's attention to artistic detail, I was very much looking forward to seeing if Apple would have done anything special with what I assume is their flagship store in the city…More »

The Catacombs was one thing I knew I definitely wanted to check out in Paris. We got there on our second try since it was closed the first day we attempted to go down (so make sure you double check it's hours before you arrive).

This is a must visit in Paris especially given it's proximity to Notre Dame which is probably in your "to-do" list in Paris anyway. It's far smaller but at the same time a lot less crowded (still had to wait in line for 20minutes in January thanks to…More »

Due to a series of unfortunate events I was not able to go to the top of the Eiffel Tower on my recent visit to Paris, but coming here turned out to be a great consolation prize. You can't see the Eiffel tower from the top of the hill but you can…More »

I would say that the only reason that one should visit here is to climb to the top because the view from up there is probably the best in all of Paris. The actual monument seen from the ground is very impressive but to be honest you don't actually…More »
I stayed here recently for 6 days and what made this hotel stay a good one was the friendliness of their front desk staff. Other than that, this would have been just a 3 star review. I got a really good discounted rate but in general it's pricing is…More »

I don't think there's much else to be said about Notre Dame that hasn't already been said here (and everywhere else). It should be a staple in anyone's trip to Paris, it's one of the most iconic churches..nay buildings in the world and it's beautiful…More »

I feel like Champs Elysees just might be that tad bit overrated. I will say that it is a very pretty street bookended by 2 very picturesque monuments but it's just filled with your usual corporate stores that you can find in any other major city in…More »
Thanks to being a new citizen I managed to get in for free so I can't complain about the admission price, but I do admit that it is a little steep but since it's an art gallery I wouldn't feel too bad spending on a ticket here especially since I…More »
Before I actually joined the TSSC a year ago I just assumed there were multiple leagues like it around Toronto, but now I realise that it really is the main one that everyone seems to be on if they want some fun sporting competition in their lives.

I love theatre and Broadway is legendary for everything theatre and in the absence of a lot of other discounted ticket offerings, tkts is a godsend for anyone looking for a night out at prices that are more affordable.
Saying that however, the tkts…More »
There's nothing extra special going on in the store that makes it a must visit in Paris, but it's hard to deny that it's got a good collection of video, music, games and electronics along with it's own bookstore in the basement and even gives you the…More »

Looking at Hart House, it is hard to imagine it houses a full fledged theatre in it's basement. There is only an orchestra seating level and it's big enough given that it's in a basement and the view from the back is certainly not bad (there is a…More »
