Saturday of Kings! Part II / Fast Food America!

So I guess there wasn't actually that much left to mention after the all you can eat sushi on Saturday, but I'll finish it up anyway.

When we were blissfully full, we took the subway back to our bikes and went to Neko's place. We had some beer and good conversation before biking to a dance party that some of our friends were attending. The party had A BOUNCY CASTLE in the back yard. So I got drunk and bounced a lot with some cool folks from Toronto and the surrounding areas. Bouncy castles are awesome, but I feel bad for Brendan because he broke his awesome glasses while he was in it, I doubt they'll ever be the same after that fateful night.

Back to Neko's...sleep.

On Sunday morning Chriz was awesome and gave me some cash to pick up eggs and bacon, which I did happily. We then created a beautiful breakfast smorgasbord with omelettes, bacon, potatoes, the rest of the home made ketchup and avocado slices.

We said our goodbyes to Toronto and started heading out of the city at around 2pm, which was hell. The Gardiner Expressway was closed down, so I had no idea how to get out of the city westward, we got some directions and ended up taking nearly three hours to get as far as Hamilton.

When we got to the border, we were detained for an hour and a half, but we were cracking jokes and keeping in high spirits the whole time, the border guards loved us.

While driving in the States, our mission became to try crazy fast foods that we can't get in Canada. We got some White Castle, Hardee's, and we had the new Double Down from KFC which isn't in Canada. We also had some candy bars you can't get here like Payday, Hundred Grand, Butterfinger, and Chantal also had a Vanilla Coke.

Other than the terrible eating habits, the US was pretty uneventful. North Dakota is an interesting place, we pulled off for gas at one place where it was a person's driveway and there was a gas pump outside their front porch.

Getting back into Canada was easy as hell: “Passports please. What are you bringing from the States? Nothing? Cool, go ahead.”

Now we're in Saskatoon.
