    Go for a chinese meal in Chinatown. You'll be stuck for choice which restaurant to go in there are so many. I always go for one with lots of Chinese people eating there.

  • Chinatown is an excellent place to go and buy fresh fruits and vegetables. I think Saturday would be the best day to walk around in chinatown and do some shopping. It's crowded, but not overcrowded and there are lots of fruitstands to choose from. Because it is so nice and busy it's a lot of fun to walk around and to watch the people around you. Hahaha, I might not take a lot of photos of people but I do love to watch people, seeing all the different characters and personalities passing by.

    It's time to have a look at one of the many neighbourhoods of Toronto. Toronto is a very diverse city with many cultures living here, you can find Chinatown, Little Italy, Greektown, Little India, etc. I've visited a few of these neighbourhoods and I would love to show you a bit of them in these next tips.
    This is of course Chinatown :-)))

    One of the main streets in Chinatown is Dundas Street. It's quite busy here as you can see, but it's not 'too' busy to walk around. So much fun to see all those chinese sign-boards, the little fruit and vegetable stands and the many chinese shops. I only wish I could read any of it :-)

    This is a typical sight in Chinatown : containers full of spices, herbs, nuts and anything you can think of in front of the little stores. Knowing some chinese can come in handy as everything is labeled in Chinese and only occasionally in English. Hahaha, some things I could recognize but others I had no clue what is was.

    CHINATOWN: Here, you'll find one of the best Chinese restaurants in the world. Food are reasonably priced & yummy. However, in recent years, the best Chinese restaurants have moved northbound to North York & Richmond Hill areas. Those few listed above are one of the very very best!

    Another Chinatown, with the same colors, the same smells, the same... garbage, as all the other. But with an incidental small difference:
    After a week travelling in the USA, and being warned about the characteristic violence of the American society, it was in the peaceful Canada, in Toronto's Chinatown, that we met the signs of violence. The group was not affected, but the guide, professionally, informed that it was... movies. Of course it was! It's easy to notice that everybody in the scene was waiting for lights and camera...

    Even though I have never been to China, Spadina Avenue and parts of Dundas Street West really do feel like vising China. Need anything Asian, you'll find it here! And when it comes to the restaurants, they are - you guessed it - real Chinese restaurants, not the Americanized stuff. Need roots, traditional clothing, porcelain cats, a table top Confusius, or some undubbed Hong Kong movie without subtitles... this is the place to go. Lots of cute girl here, too. :)
