It’s like deja-vu when I’m at model casting/jobs in Toronto for the girls, I spend the day sitting in a Starbucks. But finding one at the train station here feels like a warm blanket and you’re back at home. Grabbed a green-tea-frappichino and connected to WIFI to post this blog. The one main difference (IMO) between Canada and here is that in...

I couldn’t sleep, worried we would miss the alarm or have a hard time flagging down a taxi. So I was up at 3:30AM. I had my alarm set for 4:40AM.
