commercial drive

My goodness, I didn't realize Commercial Drive would be so fun. There's such a wide range of different foods and shops from different ethnicities all coexisting on one street. Simon introduced me to real pizza today baked in one of those crazy traditional ovens (it's sooo huge). I must say, I was very impressed. There's no such thing as pepperoni on traditional pizza and as for mozzarella cheese - real mozza is like squishy and apparently super expensive.

The training workshop in the evening was very insightful. It was like a 4 hour sociology discussion about the different forms of oppression that exist in society. The big final paper I wrote last year regarding this was exactly what the focus of this volunteer program is all about - becoming an ally!
