Top of the world ma!!! Top of the world.

So on Friday of this week (the 1st Feb) we had a major dumping of snow. My work office closed down early so people could get home. Schools had snow days and a reasonable amount of snow fell and it is still falling lightly. However the night immediately before that (31st January) was an incredibly clear night. A good job really as we had the best view on the continent.

On the Thursday night we decided to go out to celebrate my getting a job, getting my first paycheck, and a generally feel good night out. So we went to 360, the revolving restaurant at the top of the CN Tower. Can't beat the view. I challenge any restaurant anywhere else on the continent to produce a better view while you're sat at the dinner table.


They didn't hurry us and we were there nearly three hours, and sat through two full revolutions getting to see all the city and over the lake. It is truly beautiful at night and gives you a good impression for how large Toronto actually is.


Eating in a revolving restaurant does have its own peculiar problems though. The main one is if you get up to go to the washroom, when you return your table isn't where you left it. Also figuring out where the exit is afterwards takes a bit of a wander as things obviously move. Only the main dining area revolves, the kitchens and main amenities are in the centre and that bit stays still.
