lol. just a funny thought first up. everytime i meet someone [males in particular] who finds out that i'm from australia... they always find the need to assimilate the phrase "howdy mate" into the converstaion..! it's soooo weiiirrrdd. hahahah. oh and as someone enlightened me the other night - "mate" to ppl over here really means mate as in man and woman mate.. lol. it's pretty funny. =p and a bit unusual too.
and speaking of unusual! the one thing that i really can't get used to seeing around town is the movie sets when they film along the streets! i think i've seen about 3 or 4 different movies being filmed right here in toronto! it's pretty amazing hahah. so this week i saw the most amazing yet. around yonge street (which is the central/ main shopping/entertainment street over here - kinda like the toronto-version of orchard road if you wish)... each night from 7pm to 7am they transform the street into new york. no joke - they've imported nyc taxicabs, nypd squad cars and they've even temporarily changed some of the signs to say "NYC"! annnnddd. GUESS what they're filming for...??!!? it's the INCREDIBLE HULK!! heheh how awesome hey. =p obviously there's no hulk around coz they green screen him, but it's still soooo awesome! they even lay out trash bags and trash cans just like new york - it's so funny bcoz since i was actually there only 3 weeks ago, it really does feel authentic. hahah. i reckon yonge st could pass off as 8th av hey... not quite 7th or broadway.. but definately 8th. hahah. anyway, as andrea and i were heading back from our HR class today - it was about 6:30pm-ish so all the props were being laid out (as in the cars and the smashed in/torched cars and trash cans etc) so we went into a total photo frenzy. hahah. =)) here's some funny ones:
me... lol. being silly. oh - some guy asked to take a pic of me... bcoz of my jumper! hahaha. was quite funny. andrea was taking a pic of me, then i saw him trying to take a photo too so i was like "oh! sorry let me get out of your way!" but then he was like "no, no! stay there!" then reading off my jumper he was like "i love new york.. wooo!" hahhaha. so i posed and gave him two thumbs up =p
heheh. i think andrea proved that she hasn't stepped foot in the big apple yet. hahah. so cute. =p
hahah. hulk is here.
see the trash? yes.. new york really is like that. hahah. just minus those pink set sheets. =p
ooooh. these are along church street (my usual walking route to uni..)! they're all trailers/RVs for the actors/stunt ppl =p can you see the ryerson street pole flag? heeeheeh. =p yes that's my uni! hahah.
hahah. new york cars littered all arnd downtown toronto. =p so quaint.
so yes! it's all quite interesting hey - so many firsts. =p oooh i'm getting really really really excited about going to montreal. hahah. it's so soon!! we're leaving super early on friday morning - 6:55am. hahah. that should be interesting =p
annnywayy! i gotta be going - got a test early tm morning! =( see? the workload over here really is heavier. hahahah.
soooo.... byeee!
luv lots, pheebs.
