Summer days

The warm weather finally arrived, meaning wonderful lazy days spent wandering in parks and enjoying the sun. High Park was a really great place to spend a Saturday afternoon, with lots of space for having a picnic, beautiful flowers and trees. We also saw a family walking their pet iguana on a leash... They also had a little boa with them, but he (she?) had to just travel in his owner's arms. In addition, I've seen a big poodle wearing sunglasses... Yup, tiny little ones but they went properly behind his ears and all. The things you see in a big city...!

On Saturday we also went to a party in a frat house. Not a proper frat party, but rather a gathering of some friends. It was fun anyways to see the house(s). The main building was in a horribly bad condition, mostly due to lack of cleaning... Maybe 20 bags of trash in the kitchen. Imagine the smell... Afterwards, we went to a nightclub and I was very satisfied to get free entrance for coming all the way from Finland :D (It did seem to me, though, that no one else paid anything either, but apparently that was because they were local students or something.)

Mostly we've just been walking around the different neighborhoods: Little Italy, Greektown, Koreatown, Chinatown and so on. Looking into funny little stores and trying out different kinds of foods. Goood times ;)
