Toronto 3

The sun was out again so I took a picture of the exterior of the Eaton Centre.


I hadn't realized how extensive Toronto's Chinatown was. Dundas St. W from Yonge Street all the way to Spadina. About 20 blocks I think.


A shop that caught my fancy.


I was amused by the warning on this seafood outlet.


ate wonton noodles for lunch. The Kensington markets were very interesting and full of ethnic produce.  I picked up a bag of nuts and fed a few to the squirrels at the U of Toronto later. Also some halvah.


Afterwards I did a self-guided tour of the U of T. 


A couple of things about Canada that I appreciated were the benches and similar places to rest, and the greenery.

Being an electronics junkie I found this place on Queen St. W that had 2 floors of electronics surplus. While I was looking over the merchandise a couple of trendy looking teenyboppers, a stunning blonde with a male companion in tow showed up and she quickly picked out a fascinating assortment of parts. Mostly motors but some wire and switches. I gathered enough courage to ask her what she was going to do with all that stuff. Oh, lots of projects, she said. Maybe a work of modern art. An electric mobile?

Should I try to make it to a film? The only one that looked mildly interesting was The Girl in the Picture by Bill Forsyth. Too late for that.
