JETs Climb High
A hardy group of rag-tag JETAA-ers set off to conquer mountains on March 10th. Alas, since mountains are scarce in the GTA, we settled for walls of rock at Joe Rockhead in Liberty Village!

Restaurant Review: Makimono
Rajie Kabli’s on the search for delicious Japanese food in the GTA. Here’s her take on Makimono in Pickering.

Authentic Japanese is hard to find in the city and having lived in Japan we know what “real sushi” tastes like. I’ve returned back from Japan a few months ago, and can honestly say I have tried many restaurants hoping to recreate some of the fun times I had on the tatami mats. More often than not, I have been disappointed. Luckily, Makimono has given me a new go-to Japanese restaurant that is not too far of a drive for us in the east end of the city.
