  • Favorite Thing: Walk around downtown and YONGE STREET: the longest street in Toronto where EATON CENTRE is located (Subway - Dundas Station). Taking a walk from Bay to King Street is one luxury in life that I wish to relive every year. The Canadians are so lucky: fresh and crisp cool air!

    Fondest Memory: Canadians are very friendly and greet one another everywhere they go! As an Asian I felt more welcome here than anywhere else in the world! Thanks!!!

    CN tower: Tallest Free-standing structure in the world!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: Ride the elevator to the tallest free-standing structure in the world - CN TOWER (553 m / 1815 ft): view the city from the largest revolving restaurant in the world (rotates fully every 72 mins) and you'll be back for more the next year!

    Eaton Centre: Eaton Centre
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: Shop at the EATON CENTRE: One of the most beautiful shopping centres in Canada. Here, you can shop at leisure, have coffee at Second Cup (extremely good Iced Moccachino, love it!) and just relax...

    Fondest Memory: Remember to buy some Roots sweatshirts for those at home!

    Childhood memories / living in Toronto: Condo
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: Buy an apartment here, if you love Canada as much as I do. I used to own an apartment in BAY STREET area and this is within 2 minutes walk to Eaton Centre, 5 minutes walk to Chinatown. Good food, lots to shop and only 2 stops from the Financial Center!

    Fondest Memory: Properties are of good value in this clean and cosmopolitan city. A two-bedroom apartment in downtown area costs US$100,000-200,000 on the average (& these are of the best quality furnishings and standards!).

    Skydome: Watch sporting events
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: Watch sporting events from SKYDOME or attending a concert there. Will have to check on the schedule the next time I'm in town, perhaps next month? Watch out for the Blue Jays.

    Official Site: http://www.skydome.com.

    Fondest Memory: If you're a hockey fan, this is the city to be in. The Canadian Maple Leaf is world renowned; sorry but that's all I know about ice hockey    :-(((
