HOW'S THE WEATHER NOW?
term 1 academy guys told me the weather so far has been unseasonably warm for canada. i also heard it might get a bit rainy.
|
It's been unusually warm until last week or so, now temperatures are back to normal, which means 10-15c daytime and 5-10c at night. Expect a drop of 5 to 10 degrees by the end of the month.
As for the money, some places will accept it but with a change charge (for example 1.15$USD = 1$c). |

You have to exchange your crappy american money to canadian :p
Some places will take it, but to be easier for you, just get it exchanged. The money is pretty even right now.
Not to mention, you gotta see our kick ass cool looking money!
The weather has been VERY unusual. Really warm, and rainy, which is NOT NOT NOT normal October weather. I'm not complaining.
I would say you should still bring some sweaters, and a rain coat.
I wouldn't imagine you'll be wearing shorts, so don't plan on it being that warm. Looking at the forecast now, it is showing that the temp is going to be dropping in the next few days.

ill be there from the 12th to the 27th. ill have... little free time. most of the time will be in a studio or something. out every night at an academy gig. technically, thats free time. i have to spin myself at one of the gigs, so it should be fun.
also... how do i go about changing money? i would deposit it in my card, but then i lose a little bit, due to them exchanging first from US to DOP when i deposit, then from DOP to CDN when i charge.
im broke, so my dad's lending me a wad of cash when i leave. can i exchange it at the airport or something? im such a n00b. haven't been outside my little island in many, many moons. |

There is a place to exchange money in the airport. I know Toronto Pearson has one for sure.
If you're looking for stuff to do, this is a cheap way to keep yourself occupied, and get some site seeing in:
http://www.citypass.com/city/toronto.html
"CityPass is valid for 9 days, which is a full week, with a weekend on each end
You can use the activities up anytime during the nine days, so whenever you have a fews hours to wander, you got a ticket to go somewhere. I personally think it's a good investment to prevent boredom. |

dont exchange it at the airport unless you want to get raped with fees or a really bad exchange rate. |

Meh, they aren't that bad. You can always do it at your bank too. |
