Weekend in Toronto with Deadmau5

Us with the Toronto Skyline


Last weekend a couple of us step foot in Toronto once again! This place never gets old! So much to do and see! This time round, it was planned, about a month ago a bunch of us book tickets to see DeadMau5. For those who are probably thinking WHO? His a worldwide Canadian DJ, mainly electro music! So we booked ourselves into a Hostel, we keep getting lucky with these hostel as they are all turning out to be really clean! Also this one provides a free waffle breakfast in the morning. Cannot say no to that!!!! Before the concert, we arrived in Toronto pretty early so we grabbed ourselves a nice breakfast in this cool corner breakfast bar kind of thing! Let's just say the plate did not need a clean, as i did a pretty good job myself. 

Breakfast

Now that our hunger was satisfied, we went on discovering Kensington, you could say it is Toronto's equivalent to Camden market. Full of vintage shops, quirky food stores, one of which was this bakery! The smell alone would satisfy you! A lot of random things going on, one of which was a women dancing to Jazz music holding a can of beer and asking us if we enjoyed her little routine! Then she got a bit too friendly and started to follow Me and Mairi haha! All the shops were pretty cool. There were so many shops with hints of Buddhism and Hinduism, with idols such as Siva and Gautama Buddha donning the entrances. Time had flown by and the Deadmau5 concert was approaching, but first i had to get my intake of food, and that meant one thing Lahmacun!!

DeadMau5 at the Rogers Centre

We arrived at Rogers and the place was already buzzing with people high on life. I think they said there were around 14,000 people in the standing area.  We managed to scuffle our way through the crowd and get ourselves opposite the stage, directly in front of Deadmau5! People were crowd surfing, masking themselves with Deadmau5 headgear and generally having a wicked time! The following morning we made our way on boat to Toronto Island, where we was able to view the skyline of Toronto as well as being able to chill on the beach. Lake Ontario was suprisingly very clean and luckily we had some nice weather too! Well it was cold but the sun was out! Overall we chilled on the sand, had a wonder around the island whilst appreciating the view around us! Then on Sunday afternoon, i caught the coach from Toronto to Waterloo to visit cousins! It was a trip well worth the hassle the coaches caused me, as i had great time relaxing! The day ended with a late 1hr 15 mins coach ride back to University at night in time to hand in my essays the following morning! The rest of the week was full of presentations, test, quizzes and essays! But the Weekend made up for that!!

Overall, good times all around!
