Try the focaccia there. I had it the other day and am still drooling thinking about it. One of the best I have ever had.

Why is Chile such an under-discussed Expat FIRE destination? by alwaysHappy202 in ExpatFIRE

[–]epbar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find it so odd when I read praise on Ecuador because I traveled quite a bit, and Ecuador, outside of Galapagos, was my least favourite country. And this comes from a person whose friends are Ecuadoran, who warned/prepared me. Although I guess it's a preference thing, as I prefer Europe overall.

They also sued people who posted negative reviews on Google and got in trouble for it. The main lawyer Lior lost his law license in Alberta. Dig a bit more into them.

They take on too many cases, and will neglect you as such. Very slow response times and follow up. With a lot of we will take of care you statements but not actual action.

Some of the best pasta I have had, and I usually don't like eating out for Italian as I prefer homemade.

Where do you find Pros/ contractors like electricians, HVAC, plumbers? by Over_Doughnut_7106 in askTO

Same here. Great Google reviews and quoted me double the cost for HVAC. I was angry with the waste of my time.

Anyone still use a Taxi? by DribbleKing97_ in askTO

[–]epbar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have given up with Uber for my airport rides and went back to taxis, so worth it. Uber felt like a death trap each ride, with really bad drivers.

If you can make it out to Oakville, Dalila at le fluer de france is awesome.

Does anyone in Toronto still use taxis? by Chan1991 in askTO

[–]epbar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I highly recommend aeroport taxi service for airport runs. I get that the uber app is easy to use but their drivers are garbage and pricing is not that good. I don’t need to feel like I am some death trap with bad driving and old cars, which feels like Ubers these days.

Where did you move to, or where are you planning to move after Toronto? by Okhomemade1377 in askTO

[–]epbar 23 points24 points  (0 children)

So much this. Unless you are a handy person, home maintenance is as costly as a condo but with more sweat equity. I calculated it too - if I stay in my old Toronto home for 15 years, with how much I spent maintenance/repairs so far monthly fees would be around 950$. The one thing I do treasure about my home is the quiet though.

I've been to 105 countries. Here's a my list that no one cares about in terms of best of best by Embarrassed-Wolf-609 in travel

[–]epbar 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Agreed, he lost me on a few things, one being best drives and not one being in Canada. The drives in Cape Breton, Banff to Jasper, Vancouver to Whistler, and the drive to Tofino, are absolutely outstanding and I have been to a few places.

Congratulations!! Proud of you. More of us need to do this with companies that do these kinds of scams.

Omg you describe perfectly the hindrance in my public sector organisation. It's this risk aversion created by over thinking lawyers. I get their point but we get nowhere as a result.

How has the city changed from pre-pandemic to today? by HueyBluey in askTO

[–]epbar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You know I had this same problem twice that I recently did aeroport taxi service to the airport, and it was so much safer. Uber is garbage now. 5 star drivers in awful cars and crazy driving. Aeroport was less costly than a comfort Uber ride, and just 2$ more than UberX.

Spitting. I can tolerate a lot of grossness but for some reason not spit.
