Pretty sure nobody returne from Canada without Maple sirop!there is an old tradition to gather maple juice in spring. The tradition of gathering maple juicr came to present citizens of Canada from Indians, who mentioned excellent qualities of juice many years ago and trough several generations worked out approved receipts of its processing into tasty and clear syrup, sweetest sugar, caramel and other delicacies. Maple syrup and its derivatives (sugar, oil, jam) were widely spread in traditional Indian and Canadian cookery, and in many other palces. Head-cooks of the prestige restaurants in USA, Canada, France, Japan and other countries create delicious dishes with maple syrup as an ingrdient. Such dishes are always a success, and many of them can be easily cooked at home. Besides, maple syrup is widely used in confectionary and baking as natural sustitute of sugar.Maple syrup is used in...
All visitors may claim a refund of the goods and services tax (GST) and/or, the harmonized sales tax (HST) which they paid on eligible goods, must provide proof that they exported their goods from Canada. This is referred to as Proof of Export.Proof of Export began at Canada's nine major international airports. Non-resident visitors departing from one of these airports, must have their goods available for inspection and their original receipts validated by a Canada Customs official as they leave Canada.
During our visits to Ontario we couldn’t resist visiting and shopping in some of the huge shopping malls in Toronto (Eaton Centre) and Ottawa (Rideau Centre). Travelling around we saw more of these malls (Mississauga and Newmarket) and I suppose there will be others also in the larger cities. I still think it is a ‘must do’ when visiting Canada. It is just part of the modern (shopping) culture of the country and can be very convenient if you catch a day with bad weather or on a Sunday. All these big malls do have a couple of hundreds of shops, a couple of department stores, cafés and a food court. What ever you want to buy, I’m sure you will find it in these huge malls.

If you love antique shopping, Kensington Market in Toronto is the place to be. "Kensington Market" is a neighbourhood of Toronto with a lot of atmosphere and bohemian feel. The antique shops add to this feel and you can see quite a few of them around. Hahaha, in this picture you can see a store with stuff from the 70's, hahaha, so much fun to see :-)
Sometimes it's hard to find the exact magazine your looking for but this is a great place to find it. It's Presse Internationale on College Street in Toronto. I am always looking for a British magazine that I love to read called 'Practical Photography'. It's hard to find, but I could find it here! For me this was the best shop as I couldn't find the magazine in the area where I lived. The one I went to was on College street in Little Italy, but there are a few more of these magazine stores in Toronto. You can find them at : 537 Bloor Street West, 364 Danforth Ave., 2068 Queen Street East.
If you do love shopping, this is the place to be: The Eaton Centre in Toronto. This is a picture of the decorations at the Eaton Centre during christmas. There are christmas decorations everywhere you look, a real display! Eaton Centre is the third largest mall in Canada and it is one of the most popular tourist attractions of Toronto. The Centre is bordered by Dundas Street (north), YongeStreet (east), Queen Street (south) and Bay Street (west).There are more than 285 shops, restaurants, and services! So there is plenty of shops for the shop-aholics. Hahaha, I would be happy enough with only one store, because I don't really like shopping. But I have to admit that even for a 'not-shopper' like me that it is fun to see the inside of Eaton Centre. The mall is huge, and the glass roof makes it look very special. At the entrance you can see the artist Michael Snow's sculpture of Canada...
Another picture of the same fruitstand. This fruitstand is located between Dunedin and Collingwood and is called 'Redpath's Fruit Market'. Mmmm, I love tomatoes, don't they look delicious! You can find similar fruitstands all over Ontario, just keep your eyes open and you'll be certain to spot some of them.
