Adventure in Toronto!
Just as Singapore was having their excitment of the F1 race over the weekend, i myself had my fair share of trill and suspense at Toronto!

It all started when Wilsern found a suprisingly cheap hotel online for us to stay for the night. All the cheap hotels recommended by lonely planet were apparently fully booked. And i happened to be the one who made online payment.

Upon reaching toronto, it was already 8pm and we walked all the way from the terminal to blk 588 which is 20 mins away.


We were greeted by a suspicious looking building with no signboard and the door was closed. No one answered upon knocking and ringing. Hence, i had to call them as we had already made deposit.
A man answered the phone and told us to wait awhile...
And we waited...
and waited ...
and waited..
It was like another 5-10 mins before a chinese guy appeared from across the street to greet up upon our arrival.
"Just follow me,"he said, not explaining much, leading the way.
I followed beside him and the rest behind.
"Where are we going?"I asked concernly,"isnt that building the hotel?"
"our apartment are all over the area,"he explained briefly.
Soon, we were led into a small alley towards a building.
IT kind of remind me of those buildings along geylang, dirty and dark. And there was a guy sitting at the entrance of the building...
We went down by the side of the building straight into the basement.
At this point of time, all of us were high on guard as no matter how we looked, it doesnt look like an hotel. Instead, its more like those squatters. There were bottles of beer along the narrow corridor and their walls were white but worn out.
The doors were thin and easily breakable. Toilet was stained and unwashed, BEDSHEETS WERE STAINED with red stuff as well.... Imagine that...
AS soon as we settle the rest of the payment, we gathered and were wondering how come it is so cheap.
There were so many doubts
1) how come everywhere were fully booked and this place is so empty
2) How come there isnt any sign board ?
3) the cheapest hostel around so far is $30 per night per pax, yet this place is $16 per night per pax.
4) We didnt see anyone else in the Hotel
And so we came out with theories..
Theory1: That place used to be a brothel but it closed down due to the availbility of esorts around the area. they want to minimise their lost hence started a hotel in their rooms..
Theory 2: It is STILL A BROTHEL but they got not much customers, so they decided to disguise themselves as a hotel to increase income and also to do some hard selling along the night.
Theory3: That place is a black hotel. Someone will just bash/sneak in during the night and try to steal from us
Theory 4: That place is haunted!
And so due to the dirty bath tub and dirty water. All of us decided not to bathe.
Not only that, since the bedsheet were stained,
Their Red bedsheet got RED stain, Their white bedsheet got White stain....

we thought that their blankets/pillow were of no difference, hence decided to sleep like this..

Notice my specs is just beside me. Was in fear that anything happens at night, i will be able to react in time. YOu know how clumsy anyone can be without their specs....

The second night we decided to upgrade to another place. And this time we realised that we are sharing the room with two other strangers!

Nevermind if the other two are young and harmless, but they were man in their 40s. And they looked so scary...

Nonetheless, the trip to toronto was fun. Too bad i dont like to write every single details over here...
