» We headed to the great white north of Toronto for NXNE, only to be hi-jacked by the dudes in DD/MM/YYYY. They proved to be the perfect ambassadors for their hometown, showing us things we probably would've overlooked: like one of the several cafes where you can legally smoke marijuana. The large infusion of the Portuguese, however, was hard to miss. Who would've thought a city with so many white homeless people could be so fun?
