OK, so even though I no longer need to write this blog for school, I wanted to write about my experience on the subway last night. I know some of you really like this blog, so, this one is for you. I took the subway for the first time in a week last night. Since [...]
Going to a new city is very exciting and also very scary. Not having a car was a blessing in New York because the pedestrians are crazy and the cabs are worse. Our only options to get around were walking and taking the subway. My friend’s job on the trip was our itinerary. She planned [...]
There is nothing more sweet and salty? then to see an older lady, now known as granny, waiting for the subway. There is just something about her: she’s very small but confident, usually has grocery bags (the reusable kind) “Because deary, I’ve been reusing my bags for years”, or has a cane that she barely [...]
I’ve been MIA in the blogging universe (blogosphere?) lately because a lack of travel on the TTC this past week (only one day of school) but on the day that I was on the TTC and YRT I noticed many interesting things. On my way to school, I was sitting across from a girl putting [...]

The modest ones are a joy to look at: linking arms, listening to a single iPod, holding hands and gazing into each others eyes. Then there are the ones that I had the pleasure of looking [...]
Monday morning… The world is back to normal. But is it? She walks onto the Bloor line train. A black fashion ski jacket. And it’s sparkling. It looks like rain drops but it’s not. She has long curly hair and heeled boots. Normal right? No! She takes out her phone and turns on the music. [...]
No one is talking on the subway. A man just walked in. A red NFL 49′rs jacket and it looks like he’s carrying hockey shin pads. He’s looking at his TTC transfer like he’s studying for the SATs. He doesn’t have much hair left. People just started talking but they are too far away. The [...]
