So having decided to stay for a couple of days longer it was very nicece not to have to get up too early this morning but the bad news was that there is some kind of problem with the sale of the flat so I have to get in touch with home and see what needs to be sorteed out - I'm sure it won't be the end of the world. Weather wasn't so great today so I decided to go to the ROM (Royal Ontario Museum. The bilding is quite strange being a combination of a really old building and a very new abstract structure called the crystal which makes it a bit of a challenge to navigate around even for someone with my good sense of direction! Any way saw all sorts of different exhibits including a really excellent temporary exhibit on Darwin which was in the Hillary and Galen Weston wing.

In the evening Hannah had promised to take Monkia and I to Korea town, we waitedd ages for Monika to get back and then discovered Korea town was quite a walk away !!!! but ended up at this tiny little unpreposessing little place that lookedd a bit like a geasy spoon cafe - had a fabulous meal of Pork Bone Stew with rice, Kimchi and pickle - DELICIOUS then we wandered back through chinatown and got bubble tea which sounds disgusting but tastes really nicece if youlike sweet things.  Basically it is black tea with a flavoured syrup like mango, peach or apple (loads to choose from) and then they add soaked tapioca and little pieces of jelly.  Like I said sounds horrid but chasing the jelly and tapioca around the bottom of the glass is quite entertaining.
