We stayed last year for a while in Toronto, right next to Church street, the heart of the G&L community and had great fun over the Pride weekend. I was pretty job less then and hung out with these 2 very big and white South African (Nazi looking, sorry Bruce) couple, who were my neighbours. But they were amazingly sweet and they actually got fed up of Toronto and moved back to Jo' burg last year. One of them with an Aid group and the other in the same field as me. They wanted the REAL life in SA, gaybashing and all! Its funny how many South Africans I have met who are convinced that SA is multicultural and exciting and miss it like hell, and all I think of is apartheid and Mandela. Thats a whole other post. They also bequeathed us their plants which the husbandman insists on referring to as the gay plants as in"have the gay plants been watered?" as opposed to "are the weeping plants alright" referring to the ultra emotional ficus trees that shed copious amounts of perfectly glossy, healthy leaves any time we go away for the weekend, or if they are moved from their favourite spot even for an hour! Long sentence, eh?

Please notice the serious jhola walla Southasians and the pink lady for contrast! That's a whole other post too! And yes, double clicking on the pictures will let you have a better look!
