1. When buying a car in Japan you have to specify where you are going to park it - and if it isn’t in an already drawn-in parking spot, the spot will get drawn in for you.
2. In Japan, instead of using a signature, documents are signed with a personal seal/stamp
3. The year 2008 in Japan is also known as Heisei 20 (or year 20 of the Heisei era - the Acheiving Peace era)
King Palace - Obviously when I read the review for this place I completely forgot about this quote from the Now review: “Warning: when they say spicy, think nuclear blast!”.Ā Nevertheless, it was good eats for cheap, the portion was big enough that Cam and I shared a meal (3 vege mains, rice, pop, and a small salad), and one naan came to about $12.

I waited for 20 minutes for my burger at the location on Yonge St. near Queen. I almost wanted to get Mc Donald’s instead. They’re delicious burgers, but it’s probably not worth a 20 minute wait. Obviously this has been an isolated incidence, but this has gotten me thinking about a delicious vs wait time scale - something similar to the hot-crazy scale (see: How I Met Your Mother, Season 3, Episode 5).


New ‘Malaysian’ restaurant opened in Chinatown just doesn’t make the cut for my taste buds. Flavours were bland and dishes were rather lacking. Ordered the ‘curry laksa’ and ‘lemongrass tofu’. The laksa was basically noodles in a bland curry soup with two shrimps, and the lemongrass tofu from their vegetarian section came with a nice chunk of chicken. Definitely not worth $20.
