Toronto

The situation of Toronto around the area of University of Toronto

Whew, sure is crowded around here, and there’s a lot of traffic in this city. (Not in the picture of the city overview I took though) 

--- Just a random info about Toronto. I was informed that people around here prefer to walk to their workplace because walking and transportation takes about the same time to reach their destination, and sometimes transportation can take longer. ---

Another random information about Toronto is that their buildings are unique. Its like a mixture of old and modern style, though there are more modern ones.

Anyway, about the places of interest… Most of the places of interest in Toronto are passing site as the bus arrived in Toronto at… 4 or 5 p.m. The passing sites are City Hall, Parliament Building, Rogers Center, and University of Toronto, though I manage to get a shot of the currently renovated University of Toronto.

University of Toronto, currently renovated

The places that I really visited would be only the C.N tower and China Town. Nope, nothing to say about China Town, so I won’t blabber about it.

C.N. Tower from below

C.N. Tower is currently the fifth tallest freestanding structure in the world, in which will be the sixth if the Shanghai Tower is finished. It is an observation tower. In the tower, there is a part where the tower is made of glass floor so that people will be able to see what is under our feet. Oh, and if anyone is afraid of heights… It’s up to you. I myself is afraid of heights, but it’s once in a life time chance, especially for a foreigner like me.

There is also a part where we are inside the tower but not inside the room anymore, which is just outside the part of the glass floor view. I forgot how tall this is though and brrr! Its cold! Anyone that wants to come to this part and is not resistant to coldness is recommended to bring a jacket.

The net around the outside part

No need to worry, no one will be able to fall from this height since there are nets everywhere. However, that makes it hard to take a picture of the view that is not covered with glass. If the camera’s lens is small enough to focus inside one of the tiny net, the view can be captured.

Random tips: Is there anyone that likes figures? This is actually a good time to take a picture of the figure with the view (that looks like a city made of legos)~ owo

Danbo in Toronto .w.

[Inner voice: But too bad the spot that I got did not have a significant landmark that shows that I am in Toronto ;-; ]

That’s it really for Toronto, since… Well, not much places are visited. Next: 6 hours trip to Ottawa~
