Yeah, I was actually shocked by the number of gay people in Toronto. I didn't know that much about the city and did not know what to expect, but everywhere I went there were gay couples around. The hotel staff were really nice and told me some places to go (restaurants...) and some places not to go (the gay bar next door).
I would love to live in Toronto. It is like New York in the sense that you always have something to do. But it also like Kansas in the sense that everyone is friendly and helpful (obviously not everyone, but I have always been treated very well). Yes, I have lived in Kansas my whole life (I am 26) although I have tried to travel around the globe. Kansas is fine. You may equate it to going to Winnipeg (although Kansas City has more people and more things to do, but not much more). The people are really nice and life is pretty slow. A great place to raise children. Is that enough of an advertisement not to come here? Haha. Anyway, its fine, no matter where I would move to, Kansas is always home and I would always come back.
Maybe in a few years I will be able to give Toronto another chance, and when I do, I will look you up. We could take in a few Leafs games. It is always nice to have a friend.
