We were so excited about visiting the Roy Thomson Hall to see the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, lovely to see the CN tower in the background as we approached the entrance. Downtown Toronto is very special, vibrant and lively at night. Continue reading “Toronto Symphony Orchestra – ‘Symphonie Fantastique’”

After a lovely cultural visit to Kensington Market, we walked towards Chinatown. It is quite an unbelievable place, you basically enter an area that engages your senses, wakes up the wonder in you, informs your brain that knowing Chinese at this moment maybe a very good and beneficial thing to know, especially if you are like me and like to haggle now and again!

I first heard about Cirque-du-Soleil (Circus of the Sun) back in 2001 when I first met my wife. It came up in a discussion once and she showed me some videos of them performing, I was totally amazed at what they did and I remember making an intention that one day I would love to see them with my wife performing live, and not just watch them on a screen in front of me. I didn’t think that one day I would actually be going to see them perform live and be writing a blog about it!

We arrived at Union Station, the busiest transportation facility in Canada. Over 250,000 passengers traverse through here every day which is really quite something. It opened in 1927 and was designated a National Historic Site in Canada in 1975. It was also designated a Heritage Railway Station in 1989.

January 1st 2016.
I know this is a common sentence that we hear, but I truly cannot believe another year has passed us by, time truly does not wait for anyone and it just seems that our minutes, hours, days, weeks and months are just flying by, do you feel the same way?
This year has really been something regarding the weather, it seems that so many of us are experiencing the same unusual weather for this time of the year, some people are not complaining, the milder weather is more than welcome for some. Whatever the case maybe, houses that are lit up with Christmas lights and decorations look so much more amazing with a sprinkling of snow above and around them, the photos and videos in this blog are from the neighbourhood where we are staying.
