Toronto
Visiting my brother and his wife. She is expecting within the next few months and wanted to see them before my travels (work and personal) got in the way from visiting. Luckily, they've said they'll come out to LA early next year with the baby. Wierd to finally be an aunt....Visited the Canadian version of Ikea and I am happy to report that it looks the same as the US versions. My brother is convinced that having a baby isn't that expensive. I guess if you're shopping at Ikea and Costco, it isn't.
Tried a new dim sum place in Chinatown. Pretty tasty to me but my brother felt it was average and better to be had in Richmond Hill. I'll trust his judgement as the local. Of course, since I was in Canada, I also went a little nuts and bought some mangosteens and dragonfruit. Apparently, Canada is more trusting of Asian fruit than the US.
Saw some other touristy place of Toronto - St. Lawrence Market and The Beaches. St. Lawrence was pretty cool, it is an indoor farmer's market, bought some meat for dinner. Bought some pate which turned out to be mediocre. The Beaches was interesting, Lake Ontario looks pretty big. Compared to Chicago, I liked Toronto's version. It just seemed cleaner and better somehow, helped that the water didn't smell.
