Looking for past experiences of people who has rented above a store. The solo apartment looks decent for $1400, in a good area close to the TTC and mall.

Most importantly, the heating is most likely a radiator type and there is NO AC. So that means I have to provide my own AC if I want to (maybe that's the reason why it's cheap).

This is my first time moving out on my own, so if you have warnings for me, please let me know. Thank you.

Edit: the business is a hair salon, but beside it is a fast food chain.

I had a connecting flight from MNL-HKG(3 hours)-YYZ(15 hours).

This is my first and probably last time with Cathay Pacific, just thought I'd share.

On the MNL-HKG flight, I was seated beside a couple with a baby on the mum's lap (beside me). They turned on their ipad on full loudspeakers playing baby stuff. I know this is now a social debate, but I'm usually understanding. But seriously, why did the crew allow such an obnoxious behaviour? It was literally on full loudspeakers.

On the HKG-YYZ flight, I had worse experience. The washrooms are extremely dirty and people on that flight don't clean after themselves like wtf. I've flown PAL, EVA, Korean Air too for my Asia to YYZ flights and by far Cathay's has the dirtiest washrooms. It was so disgusting.

The Chinese grandma in front of me kept reclining her seat to its full extent, then she puts her one leg on the arm rest in front of her. My mouth flew wide open. I've never witnessed that personally, I only ever see these things in social media. I had to keep asking the crew to remove her full recline during meal time. Thank god for the HK-Canadian couple beside me who scolded the grandma for me.

A specific meal ran out in the middle of the plane and they didn't serve hotfood (snack in between the 2 meals). A bit minor but still part of the "quality service" they're trying to advertise. If the flight is full of Asians, surely the Asian meal on the menu would be the favourite? Why didn't they estimate it properly? And hotfood has always been served in all the long haul flights I've taken before. Additionally, out of all the airlines I flew long haul, their economy seats were the most uncomfortable. My back was dying.

Just when I thought things would not get worse, when it was time to collect our baggage, the baggage counter told me they were not able to load my 1 of 2 luggages in the flight!! This was a great inconvenience for me and I was so frustrated.

Anyway, 2/5 stars for them. At least we landed safely. But most likely, never again.
