Frosh week was also my first chance to go Downtown. As I learnt York University is in the middle of Industrial part of town. It takes a long time to walk to anywhere from there. The University, however, is like an oasis in the middle of all of this and their is a mall on campus so you can get some things you need without leaving.

To get to downtown you have to catch a bus to Downsview and then get on the Subway. It can take nearly an hour to get downtown. While I was downtown for the first time some newly acquired Canadian friends introduced me to the standard fare of Streetmeat, which to outsiders is simply the food you get from roadside hotdog vendors which people here eat a lot of!

The picture on the left is of the CN tower as taken from Chinatwon which you can't really see because it is on the side of the street I am taking the picture from.
