Thanks to some lovely pals, I got a chance to see Rihanna’s 777 World Tour at The Danforth Music Hall in Toronto. She’s hitting 7 countries in 7 days and playing in small venues to promote her new album, Unapologetic.

The Danforth probably holds about 1,000 people. It was crazy to see one of the biggest pop stars in the wold in such an intimate setting. So intense and fun. To put it in perspective, my photos were taken from the back of the room, mostly with my phone.

I (Ashley Sperling) took all these photos. Please credit me and/or my Tumblr if you’re going to share these. Thanks!

I went to Boston for the first time in April and it was great! There is basically one free thing you need to do while in Boston, and by doing it, you will experience many things for free, I’m talking about The Freedom Trail.

Every city in the world should have something like The Freedom Trail, it’s so genius, but simple. It’s literally a red line painted on the sidewalks and roads throughout the city, and if you follow the red line it will take you on a walk past many of key attractions.

The Freedom Trail is awesome because you can go at your own pace, and stop and spend time where ever you’d like. We started at Boston Common and made our way through various historical sites and cool Boston neighbourhoods including Quincy Market, the site of the Boston Massacre, the State House, Paul Revere’s House, and the really neat North End/ Little Italy area. Eventually we ended around the USS Constitution where we also had some great views of Bunker Hill.

There are information signs at the key sites, but there are also audio guides you can download if you’re so inclined. The walk is about 2.5 miles long so wear comfy shoes and bring some water.

Seriously every city could learn from Boston - maps and tour guides not necessary just follow the red line!

State House:

There are lots of incredibly old graveyards in Boston, some with important people buried:

Paul Revere:

So normally I try not to post negative things, but this is just too ridiculous! My own personal travel experience with United has been horrible on a consistent basis. But at least they didn’t lose me when I was 10!

I’m glad to say since all my free United money (from all their royal screw ups) ran out, I have avoided them like the plague, even if it costs me more money. I’m betting these parents will never ever fly United again either. Seriously, how do you lose a 10-year-old child who is travelling on her own, and then basically refuse to help the parents?

The only good thing United every taught me is if you are having problems locating something (or in this case someone) at an airport, call the administration office of the airport. They’re usually helpful and not total idiots like United.
