Eaton Centre

Today I had my E3 meeting at Eaton's Centre. We decided to experiment with our game at Dundas Square, right at the open area where the stage is placed. It was sunny, in the public and a lot of people were watching us. While we played our game, some people gave us some helpful tips and game ideas while others decided to purposely step on our game. What jerks!. I saw a few people selling vuvuzela's and it looked really really awesome. I wanted to buy it but I decided to wait until later. However after I returned, the people selling the vuvuzela had disappeared. I was disappointed. After playing with our game for awhile, we decided to go up to the food court to discuss the proposal and the timeline before our event. Also we practiced our short speeches that we needed to present to store managers amongst ourselves.

Finally we were ready to go sponsorship hunting. Split up into teams of 2 and went to ask for sponsorships at stores all around Eatons Centre. Although we got a lot of rejections and please call the head office for sponsorships. They are corporate stores so they cannot make decisions by themselves apparently... Luckily, We found a few sponsors that seemed willing to donate prizes to us. This increased our morale and we continued to ask along Queen Street until we reached China Town. As we kind of got hungry, we decided to go to Tim Hortons and I bought a large Ice Coffee. I have to say, it was not as good as the one I had gotten last time. We also passed by a small girlie store and the store owner was generous enough to let us choose a gift of our own for our event on the spot. We were also able to get 4 movie tickets from the Cineplex too. Made my day happy.!!

As we approached China Town, I was amazed as I saw the border between western city and china town. On one end of the street, there were many Chinese signs and on the other end, it was all English signs. Went inside two small malls in China town and found out that many of the stores are closed. Darn! and a found a few gift shops. Our mentor was nice enough to buy us sugar cane juice. It was little sweet and as I looked inside my cup, I saw dark murky liquid while my friends had kind of light yellow liquid. I hope I do not get food poisoning from this.

Yea, that's pretty much my day. I walked for like 4-5 hours and dang my legs hurt bad. I do not like walking yet I have been walking so much for the past few days.
