Smoking hot in public

I thought of 2 more:

Public displays of affection run rampant here!!  Every single time I ride public transport of any kind, it seems, I have to watch people making out.  It’s constant and no age group is immune.  Literally.  And this isn’t just after the bar on the weekend – it’s all the time!  On my way to school.  On my way home from school!  It never ends!!  It’s nauseating.  

The other thing is the smoking issue.  I remember from the last time I was here how many cigarette machines there are everywhere (they are even on residential streets sometimes), but I don’t remember it being this bad.  I have seen people standing under No Smoking signs and light up a cigarette!  It’s insane.

Today was a very special day for me.  I got a Kinder Surprise from my advent calendar.  Here they are called Kinder Überraschung.  It was a little monster in a little car that I got to put together, which are my favorite kind, so I was pretty happy.  I also went to Nicole’s and we ate pizza and poutine.  We made the poutine by going down to the pub downstairs and getting fries, then making some gravy (just from a Maggi powder) and used grated gouda.  It was still super awesome.  Sometimes you just don’t realize how much you’ll miss something until you don’t have it as an option.  All in all it was a very good, albeit lazy, day.
