Fun in Kensington

Yesterday my parents came down for some fun in Chinatown, as well as some Kensington Market adventures.

I absolutely love wandering around Chinatown. Though it might have a fishy (literally) smell, it's still great to just be a part of all the craziness around the food stands. Lots of yelling, and some pushing and definitely lots of cheap deals. If only I knew how to read all the labels... but I'm pretty sure everything is made with green tea and wasabi.

Kensington is awesome on a Sunday. If you're driving, and get there early enough, so you park on one of the residential side streets for free all day! (Only on a Sunday though).
If you like to people watch and just randomly walk around, Kensington is your place. There was an interesting gal in front of The Market Bakery who was pretending to play music. I usually like buskers, but this one was horrible. She kept playing the same chord and was yelling everything she sung. Then she started yelling something that I'm sure she didn't think was racist... but it sure sounded like it. Thankfully there was a Mexican band around the corner. My mom really loved it.

We weren't sure where to go to eat. There are so many options! We opted for a place that looked kinda sketch on the outside, but with a 2 for $5 falafel special, how can you go wrong? It was quite quite tasty! My parents got a yummy chicken wrap combo deal thing... it was very good! 

So if you're ever in the market, and want a cheap lunch, I recommend this place. I can't remember what it's called. It's across from Blue Banana.. which is also a cool store to go too!

Other than my adventure to Kensington, it was just a lazy day.
I watched some wedding reality tv shows with my roommie in the evening. I'm starting to wonder what my wedding will be like... I can't believe the amont of money people spend! Insane! We'll see what happens when I finally get there...

That's all for now folks!

keep smilin,
