"Welcome to Canada" Toronto by draguza

I was in Toronto only for 1 day, in summer 1993, with my mom, on our way back after visiting Niagara Falls

I remember Toronto was so windy, even during summer time, but also so clean and organized, even more than the cities in the US
Hailed as Canada's cosmopolitan centre, Toronto is a city steeped in the history of early pioneer settlement but pulsing with the contemporary vibe of the country's largest multicultural population.

Its status as a financial capital and central immigration destination put Toronto on the global map, but its thriving arts and culture scene — a continual cycle of niche festivals and world-class cultural events — draws patrons from all over the world. From street theatre, to opera, to food festivals and major league sports, Toronto is a place with something for culture-vultures of every taste and price range.

The city's celebration of diversity is reflected in the architecture, cuisine, and cultural activities that define it. Toronto's easy-to-navigate grid system is a composite of heritage buildings and skyscrapers, inflected with new design contributions by figures like Frank Gehry. These buildings frame the network of neighbourhoods that characterize Toronto's landscape and ensure that long, meandering walks through the city are rich in distractions. The city's public transit system also helps visitors to sojourn to every end of the city — above and below ground. Guests can explore the bustling street culture in Kensington Market and Chinatown on foot, then bus, streetcar or subway to the next hot spot and start again.

• Pros:Such clean and tidy city
• Cons:Very windy!
• In a nutshell:It's like having a trip in the future..
