CM is like a smaller scale, more observation based version of The Amazing Race located in Toronto. This year, the neighbourhoods visited were Greek Town (got authentic yogurt and a deeeeeelicious gyro), Central Downtown, Queen St. West (def will revisit!), Queen's Park, and North York (hometurf represeeeent).
My team, Victorious Secret, CM id A14, got sixth place! ^^ Pretty good considering there were 100 teams, though more than half got disqualified cause they were late.
Prizes were 4 movie tickets and 2 BOGO50% laser tag passes.
(It was terribly cold sitting in those seats in the morning, thankfully Jason was smarter and wore a hoodie with pockets :])
There's three different type of activities at each location.
First is to find the checkpoint and get a stamp. Second consist of finding answers to a booklet of questions.
The page for Queen St. West. The clues were mostly about each store's logo or window display. Some were really hard to spot @_@"
Lastly, there's the photo challenge, in which you snap a picture of the given clue.
With the "poet" of Queen's Park :]
Inside the bronze mouth at North York. I never knew this statue existed before o_o"
At the "three different type of lights" in front of the Air Canada Center.

After the race, we headed over to Nick's birthday party. Bouncing was also soooo much fun, shame we were uber late and only got to bounce for 5 minutes @_@ I'm so sore from that and CM haha.
Came back to North York for dinner, in which we wasted so much time finding a place to eat. Ended up at St. Louis, which barely fit all 18 of us e_e" The waitress wasn't the nicest either. Was soooo tired by then (sat down at around 10:30, got up in the morning at 7) that if it wasn't for the artificially tasting grapefruit juice, I would have fallen asleep.
