Everyone was pretty tired after yesterday's trip and all the travelling we've been doing ever since we got here, so today was kinda a free day for us to do whatever we wanted.
I slept in later today and decided that I should really go what the Canadians do on weekends. A senior from the school recommended High Park as a good place to go on a quiet after stroll, so, I checked up maps, googled, and was on my way!Walking alone down the streets in a foreign land's a little scary, but it gives a great sense of independence and excitement just to be exploring the world alone. You can do whatever you want, stop for photos wherever you want, read and eat when you want. And it is really refreshing to be away from city life in Singapore, away from the hustle and bustle, to enjy a quiet day of greenery, soaking in nature, and spending time with yourself. On times like this, I wish I didn't have to go back to Singapore..Heh. Do pardon the self-shots huh :P










The park was seriously HUGE! I was so tired after walking for hours I sat down to eat my late lunch. To my horror, there was only 1 food place in sight and they only had deep fried food :( so i ate chicken nuggets and to my horror again, i received a HUGEHUGE packet of frieds and nuggets! I ate the nuggets and left the oily fries untouched :S
The fields were kinda filled, so I sat on a bench, under a tree and started reading my magazine.
Went back to catch dinner with the gang! I'm super tired now!! But I had fun today, will explore another part of town the next time. Tata!
Anyways, on a side note, the "field of geese" are scaring me now! I have to wait for the whole "fleet" of them to cross before I dare to go pass. This is traumatising!
