This is a really weird blog.
A bunch of my friends were intercultural majors/minors/concentrations and I heard about the importance of saying goodbye to your home before entering other cultures long-term. I have a New Year's Eve
/Going away/Happy birthday to my brother/I love you friends and family party planned for the day before I leave, and I figure another way to say goodbye appropriately is to document every time I went to a certain place that has a very special in my heart… TIM.HORTONS.
I just said that above part to have a reason for the blog, but I wasn’t thinking that when I started keeping record of my many visits. On May 28th I decided to document until the end of the summer for fun– which is now! And maaaan, looking at this list shows me how I should really wean off Tim Hoz. This is just…… a lot. A whole lot of Tim Hortons… and I'm sure I missed at least one.
For those of you who very unfortunately don't know, Wikipedia says Tim Hortons is:
A Canadian fast casual restaurant known for its coffee and doughnuts. It is also Canada's largest fast food service with over 3000 stores nationwide. As of July 1, 2012, Tim Hortons has 4,071 restaurants, including 3,326 in Canada and 734 in the United States.

The end.
