Today I passed by Chinatown (Spadina Street) and found that they were selling 3 guavas for 5 dollars. The guavas had a good size but they were green, hard and did not smell like Cuban guavas 🙁 (sorry I get so specific) Besides, I think that this guava was white inside and the red ones are the sweetest ones and the ones I like the most.

After my poor attempt of buying a good quality guava I wanted to go to the market across the street to try to find these Chinese guava flavour candies that I discovered at work through a co-worker. The nice guy ended up buying a whole bag for me and bringing it to the office as a present.

Finally it started raining and I decided to come home. On my way back and thank to the amazing Canadian underground world I entered Bloor Street Market and rewarded myself with stuff I could never buy in Cuba: a kilo of cashews (known in Cuba as “semilla de marañón” and probably forgotten by Cubans my age who do not have a 98 year-old grandma) and a Nutella container. In the end I got the best of one world. Healthy guava can wait for now…
