    Ah man the eggs and salmon looks spot on 💪 totally agree Canadians are friendly, I think of Toronto as a more chill NYC with friendlier people. Public transport sucks all over North America unfortunately. That lemonade dude wasn't very helpful 😂 chicken and wings man was much nicer. I know how you feel about filming people's faces, in British culture it feels kinda invasive. Luckily out here in Latin America they don't care 😅

    Foam finger, hot dog and baseball cap, definitely fitting in! I literally couldn't name any baseball player on any team haha. The stadium is superb with that backdrop, wow. Much nicer surrounds than Wembley or Tottenham 😂 I agree about the national anthem. I heard a few whistles on the star-spangled banner. Would be interesting if they had to sing the anthem before Liverpool and Celtic matches 😂 the stats thing has definitely infiltrated UK sports as well. When I was a kid you'd never hear how much possession a team has had or assists. 9-3 is a hammering 😅 How many games in a season?! Woah haha £45 isn't bad at all

    • @TheJournalofanExplorer
      @TheJournalofanExplorer 19 днів тому

      Never been Tottenham, but I agree regarding Wembley, feels so corporate! I think there'd be a full on riot if the national anthem was played at Anfield or Celtic Park - haha I still don't get the whole xG thing in football!

  • @William-B
    @William-B 22 дні тому

    Baseball feels slow paced but between every action there’s a LOT of head games going on (like chess). That’s why the stats are so important. Everybody (players, coaches, and also fans) is trying to predict the most likely play given the current scenario. If you guess wrong it could be anywhere from a slight disadvantage to possibly costing your team the entire game! If you want to see quicker action, I definitely recommend basketball or hockey.

    • @TheJournalofanExplorer
      @TheJournalofanExplorer 19 днів тому

      Thank you! I did think baseball seemed more mentally stimulating sport than other sports. I can see why certain people love it - would definitely love to visit a hockey or basketball game next time i'm in Toronto.

    Agree wholeheartedly on the music being too loud. It's been a problem for 20 years at least. I think they have market research that says it's worth annoying fans like us because the music makes other fans buy more.

    • @TheJournalofanExplorer

    I enjoyed the British interpretation of the game!! Things like the National Anthem are so standard I wouldn’t have given it a second thought.😂😂 you had great seats! Baseball is a slow game- I don’t typically watch but going to the field on a summer afternoon is a pretty typical American pastime (even though you are in Canada) 🇨🇦 . Glad you made it!

    Great video. I live in Toronto. You are correct Union is the main train station in Toronto. The Go train serves parts of Ontario (mainly the southwest area). While the VIA rail has routes across Canada. There are alot of really nice towns in Ontario. Stratford where you can catch a play. Muskoka, which has beautiful lakes and cottages. Prince Edward County, where people hang out on the weekend. Lots to see and enjoy this spring/summer.

Looks like a nice little town, probably an ideal place to live rather than visit. Definitely tougher in North America to get about without a car.
