Sunday we had a full day of culture cuisine.
We headed to "Chinatown" in Toronto and dined at an authentic Chinese restaurant.
My stomach took days to recover from this day, but it was oh so worth it...
Chicken Foot (a delicacy) yes please! tasted like bbq with lots of tiny bones
And Tempura Sardines
The food was served on carts and we told them yes or no as things passed.
We did pass on some stuff but tasted most of it.
My favorite was the tea, Mr Dan served us all weekend long
and never let our tea run dry during this meal.
He told us a customary way to thank was to tap index and middle finger on table two times. It allows you to carry on conversation and never stop, ha!
We did our best to use chopsticks but we still stuck out like sore thumbs, we
were clearly the only "white folk" in the bunch.
We shopped around a couple of hours a the Chinese mall
My BU pharmacy and sorority gals...could not have made it without them~
Meat market in the mall, wow
After a crazy experience at the Chinese (kinda sensory overload) we relaxed over bubble tea.
A whole other experience for us, imagine milky tea with tapioca in the bottom.
We were revived and ready to tackle IKEA, a first for Lori and I.
This IKEA was huge with its own parking garage.
We got a couple of goodies and lots of ideas before heading home
The "bootleg" purse, Marie did the dealing so the Lisa got the best deal
Ah don't worry that was not all, we were all hungry again from our busy day shopping and were
ready for an AHMAZING Authentic Japanese steakhouse.
We relaxed the night away with facial masks
Monday morning we woke up and headed south to the Good Ol USA.
I was so refreshed and ready to see my boys (all 3 of them).
Made wonderful memories.
Can't wait till we meet again!
