Subway Subjects
Royal York Station (January 2005)

"Everyone has this sense of togetherness right now. For example, one guy on the subway today, he wanted to share my pants."-David Lettermen

My wife and I are enjoying building our nest day by day. I just didn't know that it'd be like being in the Olympics - that it'd include jumping trains, carrying carpets and boxes, and running after buses.

For now, we are happy to put up a list of the, Top 5 Things We Bought That We Had to Carry in Public Transpo:

5. 4 pieces of pillows from downtown to the subway. Imagine a vision-impaired guy escorted by the wife around Toronto with giant immaculate-white pillows as extra padding against the cold. That was me.

4. 6 pieces of Bags from Ikea. One potential cabinet, as well as a dozen breakable plates and glasses, were balanced from an Ikea branch to the apartment.

3. 1 piece DVD player. By far the easiest to carry, but not during a snow storm and on Boxing Day.

2. 1 4ft x 6ft area rug from the Distillery District in Downtown Toronto to the apartment in Mississauga. Imagine a dark colored rug wrapped in black trash bags to protect it from soiling. T oaid you, just picture someone carrying a dead body from the train to subway to another train...and the endless stares and whispers from co-passengers. :) "dead man in the train, excuse me..."

1. and yesterday, 1 big box, of guess what, the biggest Vacuum Cleaner you could ever find. It said lightweight on the box, but when I was carrying it from the store to bus station, for several hundred meters, it seemed like a treasure chest heavy of gold stashed from Yamashita.

*****

Ok, so its bad to take pictures in subway stations? (link from Photoblogs.org)

If that's so, we'd be missing great images of one of my favorite Toronto Photoblogger, such as these:
- King Subway Station, Toronto
- Various Subway shots, Toronto subway
- A Subway Portrait, Toronto
- and of course, my own

If you don't want the ban, you can sign here.

As for me, that would be no problem. Our "playing house" won't end soon. I wouldn't have to take any more subway pics as long as I'm carrying another great big box from downtown to the apartment!
