I need a break
I'm outta here in about 24 hours!
I haven't been back to Canada in almost a year and a half, and I think it's about time. I think I've decided to make this an annual thing, probably an annual winter vacation. It's been a damn depressing winter, and although winters in Toronto aren't any better, I'd rather be with family and old friends, my sweet lil niece, plus the forthcoming niece or nephew in a couple of weeks.
I wouldn't say it's been a super cold winter, but the sidewalks and roads being completely covered in snow and ice and the city not cleaning it is really upsetting.
Just over a week ago a bunch of my male neighbours and I came outside to clean the entire back of the building. Over 2 hours of shovelling, and then being lucky enough to get one of the few snowplough tractors, and a severe backpain afterwards, but it was completely clean ... until today!
Coming outside on Saturday nights ... dead! Nothing going on in this city. Everything pretty much closes at 23:00, so meeting up with friends to sit at a cafe late night is pretty impossible. It's the complete opposite of Yerevan's rush rush summers.
Anyway, don't want to complain too much. I know once I return there are quite a few things to look forward to, but right now I just need a break.

you should go to the new jazz bar on Pushkin... it's packed full almost every night of the week!
Have a safe journey.
