Today I Learned...
That having a roommate who naturally sleeps with eyelids a quarter of the way open reallllyyy freaks me out.

Day 11: So high
Today I Learned...
That I need to spend some time with a politically-minded Moroccan and seriously pick their brains.
That Sudanese people speak Arabic REALLY fast. I thought Egyptians spoke fast but these guys just take it to another level all together.
That I need more travel clothes that don't wrinkle. I've thus far convinced myself that ironing does not need to exist... but suitcases have a way of making you permanently looking like a bum. Ironing might need to come back into my life until I figure this one out *tear*.

Day 6: That's it?
Today I Learned...
That midnight soccer celebrations > watching the actual game.
That I much prefer being barefoot.
That I wish I brought my super comfortable running shoes with me, even if they don't look nice with anything.
That I could actually see myself living in London, England.
That the change of the guard in London, England at Buckingham Palace is just as overrated as the change of the guard in Ottawa, Canada.

Day 3: Moral of the Story

Underground system.
There is something very important I have to say at this time. After spending only 2 whole days in London, England, I've realized that the underground subway system in Toronto, Canada is absolutely garbage.
Toronto = barely 4 proper lines. London = 13 lines.
Toronto population = 2,503,281. London population = 7,172,000.
Maybe that's why? But honestly, we can use more subway lines than what we have. We can learn something from the English. As long as it's not how to smoke 100 cigarettes a day.

Today I Learned...
Today I learned that one of the best feelings is finding out, while you're in flight, that your 7 hour flight has suddenly been reduced to 6 hours. Thats an hour gone, a whole HOUR! Almost did a little dance in the aisle :)

Day 1: Goodbye to you Canada
Today I Learned... How Great This Song Is.
I never knew there were so many versions of this song, but today I found out, courtesy of YouTube.
This is my favorite version:
Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
Don't know when Ill be back again
...
Except, I don't hate to go.
