Week 11: CN Tower (Toronto) and FOOTBALL

Week 11:

The past weekend, I went to Toronto to see the big city again and just do some shopping as always :)
It was very cold, and cold for an Austrian means usually VERY COLD. The wind was so strong that me and my friend Ayse couldn't even walk properly!

First we went to the CN-Tower, maybe the most important spot to go if you visit Toronto. It was a cool experience, but very expensive so I n my oppinion you should only do it once. For me and my friend it was over 60$ and we couldn't even go to the very top of the CN-tower. We had a great view though because the elevator was made of glass and I could see wonderful Toronto from 500 metres above. On the top half of the floor was made of glass, it was CRAZY! The outside-viewing point was closed though because the wind was so strong.

After that we also went shopping in the Eaton Center, a very big shopping center, which is well known in Toronto. It was already decorated for Christmas! There were so many people in the shoppingcenter but I enjoyed the enourmus variety of different shops, cheap and expensive. 

It was so good to be in the city again and I can't wait to visit Toronto with my family back in Austria!

I also saw my first football game! The Marauders is the football team from my school, A.N. Myer and I watchedthe seniors (Grade 11&12) play against Saint Mike's highschool. It was very cold and it even started to snow. But I loved it, because I felt like in an american movie! The cheerleaders were cheering during the game, everyone was dressed in the school-colours (Purple and White) and students painted their faces in purple. Unfortunately, our team lost nd some football players even cried. They were very upset because it was the championship (last game) and they lost. Even though i didn't get what was going on in the game, it was fun to watch.

That's it really :) In 2 weeks I will visit Montréal, it will be GREAT!
