Actually Mississauga is a really nice city. Were you staying in a hotel near the airport? Because the area around the airport isn't that great and looks pretty bad I think compared to the rest of the city. This might sound odd, but I'm not sure if it was near the airport or not. All I know is that there was nothing neighborhood-like at all in the immediate vicinity - just huge office building after huge office building. |

Sounds like either the airport (which is really right by the Miss/Toronto border) or the northern part of the city. The rest of it you'd have a tough time not finding a residential area.

Name: I've mostly stopped using one on Internet boards.
City & Country: Vancouver, BC, Canada
Favorite movie: I don't see enough movies to really have a favorite. The last one I saw, which I liked very much, was Nowhere in Africa.
Favorite food or drink: A perfectly done tomato, bocconcini, onion, and basil salad. Well - actually there are so many foods I like it's hard to pick one, but that combo is near or at the top of my list.
Unique things about you: Numerous - I'd have to think about which one to highlight.
Place(s) you travelled to and loved: So far I've loved just about every place I've visited voluntarily. London is at the top for interest, vitality, and theatre.
Place(s) you've travelled to and not loved: Mississauga, Abbotsford, Missouri, Oklahoma
How your friends would describe you: Quiet, energetic, tenacious
In your free time, you would be found doing what? Reading, playing Scrabble, talking to my kids, music, theatre
If you had the money to live anywhere in the world, where would it be? I'd be tempted to say London, but maybe San Francisco, or maybe I'd just stay in Vancouver and travel a lot.
Things you are currently excited about: Trying to plan my next trip!
Things that creep you out or that you are afraid of: This question reminds me of Room 101 in 1984. I don't want to let anyone know what the answer is.

;D ;D ;D ;D ah, so true, so true..... can't help it, I adored that city! And anyone who does also shows imminent good taste and breeding. ging I liked Florence a lot. The one reason why I don't say Florence is one of my favorites places in Europe, is because when I was there, it remind me of Ecuador (except maybe for the loud and rather annoying vespas; althoug last I heard, they are becoming popular in Ecuador as well...) Florence looks and feels exactly that way, which kind of took a bit of the charm out of it. Don't get me wrong, but it was just TOO familiar being there. And just for the record, I had one of the best times social-wise in Florence.  Bara |
