Spring in Toronto?

I’ve been hearing about the amazing weather back home. Congrats to all my Torontonian friends on escaping winter. I’m slightly jealous, but to be honest I quite like the snow, so it sounds like I didn’t miss much. I had a very strange feeling this morning. I was walking to the office from the subway and the weather is quite cool and rainy today. It felt exactly like a late spring rainy day at home. It really threw me. I closed my eyes for a moment as I stepped outside of Starbucks with my morning tea and it was almost like being back in Toronto. As I listened more carefully and then opened my eyes I saw the thousands of people rushing to work, people eating noodles for breakfast, engaging in conversation in LOUD Cantonese, doing Tai Chi, car horns honking like crazy, cherry blossoms blooming….nope, definitely still in Hong Kong.
