man – i was excited to go to this place – a conveyor belt sushi bar (kaiten-sushi)! Toronto finally has an establishment which took over other parts of the world in the 90s… Well unfortunately in this case, late is definitely last…i gotta say – this place is pretty bad. first to start off with, the atmosphere was … Read More
Shocking to some i’m sure, but I confess that I actually miss london loads. i miss the buzz, the crowds on the streets, the indulgence of excess in nearly everything, and sadly even the general indifference towards poor service…
