A Year Ago Today - Toronto Edition
A year ago today I said farewell to the dollar-sucking, food-heaven, all-round chaos that was New York City and prepared myself for another change of tax systems and flag. I may not be heading back to Australia but Canada feels closer, even if Toronto is still two flights and 15,558km away. »
