Parlimentary Panorama!!!

We went on a tour of Ontario's Parliment yesterday. It was really interesting.  The lieutenant governor has a two-story apartment in the legislative building that he is required to live in. --Kind of like the President.-- All of the attorneys wear gowns like judges in the U.S. The rationale behind it is that everyone is equal in the eye of the court, so no one is wearing a $5,000 compared to the guy wearing the $200 suit. I think thats a good idea, however, I am glad I don't have to wear one. -- After the tour, the dean of our program took us all out for drinks and appetizers. Hey, I'm not complaining. When we finished up there, we headed back to the dorms. After doing some reading, we decided we would go to dinner. The plan was to go have dinner at the CN Tower because we were dressed up already. But because we really weren't that hungry because of the appetizers,  we went to Panorama. Panorama is a tapas/wine lounge on the 51st floor of the ManuLife Building. Each side has a patio so you can sit on the deck on the 51st floor and have a glass of wine and look out over the city. There are pictures of the view. Really cool. Changing gears a bit, I'm an idiot. The urinals in the building we have class in have an extremely forceful flush. The last time I used one I got sprayed by the urinal water, nasty. Do you think I would remember that after it happened, twice? --You guessed it.-- Nope. This time, I was fortunate enough to have urinal water sprayed into my face. I almost threw up. Needless to say I washed my face with hand sanitizer. Ha!!
