• I spent most of Fridays glued to my chair at home
  working.  I was mentally exhausted when
  it finally finished.  I spent most of
  Saturdays just relaxing with my bf.  We also took in the Taste of Asia. 
  It was interesting but very crowded. 
  As soon as we got close, the unmistakable aroma of “smelly tofu”startled me.  My bf and I looked at each other and
  grinned.  I knew we would get into a
  debate eventually on what smelled worse, durian (I don’t eat it, he loves it), smelly tofu (we both don't eat it) or cheese (I eat most cheeses, he can’t stand the smell of it especially
  Parmesan). 

  Smelly tofu - the line up was pretty long.

  They also had some new cars - not sure why but I guess the dealers were also sponsors.

  The Lexus IS F (mmm....vroom, vroom)
  

  Nissan 350Z (nice...)

  

  Acura TSX (very interesting...)

  

  There was a group called Grasshopper that played at dusk. I don’t know them except that they are from Hong Kong and were quite big back in the ‘80s and '90s.  I didn’t bring my faster lens since it doesn’t
  fit into my old camera bag.  I had to
  push these shots to 800 ISO.  I was standing beside a very energetic
  middle aged woman. Her arms brushed by my lens a couple of times when she was dancing and her purse was scrunched
  against my privates.  So when she jumped
  up and down and swayed with the music, I felt it.  I had to squeeze my knapsack in between us for "protection".

    

  I'll probably checkout the Toronto Night Market in a couple of weeks from now. 

  Overall, a relaxing time with my bf.  I finished the weekend by having dinner with my family.  It was good to laugh with everyone for a while and forget about the pressures of work.
