Thank God for a good day in Toronto, Canada 7/12- 7/13 (Day 1&2)

July 12 - To AirBnB and rest:

Came during the evening around 4PM. Traffic was busy so I didn't arrive to the Yonge-Sheppard area till 6ish by Uber. I wasn't feeling too good though I walked Yonge St for a little. I ended up buying Smoke's Poutinerie traditional fries and it was good though its full of carbs so be careful. I slept by 9ish Toronto time. I didn't get a pic of the store but its @ 4716 Yonge St, North York, ON M2N 5M4, Canada. A bit pricey but good.

 

July 13- Chinatown, City Hall, Kensington St, Eaton Centre and more!

I jogged for a little bit and came across Avonshire Park.

 

Met up with my Okcupid bud- Jen Chao who showed me around. For once i didn't log my journals down so I'll try to remember what I did chronologically to the best of my knowledge. We went for some bake goods first!








Then we caught the subway and buses to Chinatown. You will see some pics of the CN tower from this point. Located in Chinatown was also

Kensington Market.

 

Sukoshi Mart

Ditto for this one.

Toronto's fascination with Poke.

Jen was a big fan of dessert so we ate plenty of that.

Eaton Centre

Pretty much known as the times square of Toronto. In the shopping mall, it packs of visitors and locals. What caught my eye was Toys, Toys, Toys. This company still had lots of Transformers Titans Returns toys. Sadly I'm not looking for them at the moment, but good for those that still want to acquire them at a decent price. Next to Toys, Toys, Toys were Mini-So. That places sells lots what I do believe is a set of Japanese quality things like, facial masks, rice cookers, portable battery chargers, and even pillows?!? Nice to look at though, really. 

City Hall

Nice decoration for a place that is considered the new city hall. The old city hall is the 3rd picture in this category. In the winters, the water gets frozen so people can skate on it. City Hall is worth getting a picture. Perhaps the nicest lookin city hall I've ever been to. 

More food!

 

 

Hungry yet?

Toronto is full of eats! Man, you never have worries on whether there is more than one or two restaurants to satisfy your appetite. Anyhow, the pictures will do the talking here. See you in day 2!
