Toronto

Canadian National Exhibition
I absolutely LOVE Toronto, love it!!!!! I miss it so much. I was born here and lived here for the first few years of my life, and I spent the summers of 2006 and 2007 staying there with family friends and working for the Canadian government. I loved living there, and I'd move back in a heartbeat!!!

Here is one of the main attractions..

Often when showing pictures of Toronto while traveling abraod, I am asked by a lot of people what that "tall pointy tower" in the centre of the city is, and what purpose it serves. The above photo is taken from the top of a ferris wheel at the annual Canadian National Exhibition. The tower in the distance is formally known as the CN Tower. It has a large observation deck on the top with a glass floor, restaurants, gift shops, etc. Opened in 1976, it was first contructed for the purpose of our communication source, but now serves primarly as a tourist attraction.

Pros:"Its on a lake, very multicultural, small for a city but still has plenty to see and do"
Cons:"Its so ethnically diverse that it lacks a strong sence of unified culture. Still very enriching to see though as there are so many different cultures"
In A Nutshell:"Don't miss it : - )"
