Not just noodles
Where are you when I need you! Please! Open a store here! Noodles noodles everywhere, noodles noodles in my hair, get them out, thick and thin before I burn them in a firey hill. (And you thought China was the capital of Rice city huh?) I never thought they could possibly make sooo many different flavours of instant noodles (maybe 3 or 4 pushing it) but they've got at least 20 in the market. Every morning what do I eat? Courageous Captian Cruch? Chocolaty Count Choucula? Cheerios? Nope, they haven't heard of the Cereal industry here, its all noodles, which is why they should open a restaurant called 'Not just noodles' for those of you who don't know, No Just noodles is a Fake Chinese Restaurant located at the intersection of Yonge and Weseley St, Downtown Toronto.
As you may already know, down here, motorbikes are the ride of choice, and of course that means many teachers have already had me ride theirs. I don't have a fav yet, and I'm sorry for you bike fanatics out there, i dont' know what you see in them. But anyways the safty standards here are uhhh, how do you say very overrated? Half the time I don't ride with a helmet. So yesterday, hilariously enough, I went into the city on a motorbike with a teacher, as you may suspect I was helmetless as she didn't have an extra helmet. After the 15 minute ride into the city (where we were to have lunch in) she stops at her house and quickly runs in. A little while later she comes out carrying a what? a helmet! Great, at least for the ride in the city I will much safer if something happens right? Nope, she hands me one without a strap, as I put it on, part of me want to just ask her... So how is this going to protect me when we go flying off the bike after hitting that car? Well, I kept quiet, and accepted her wishful thinking. Well at least there is one good think that came out of it, at least I looked like a dork, in that yellow construction hat of a helmet.
