So i'm still stuck in toronto for two and a half weeks till i go to Hong Kong. and honestly, toronto's very boring (as awesome as it is). so lets make a list of things possible to do. all i can think of so far are these things: (some of them are very typical boring things to do) Shopping Movie Bowling Wii / PS2 Wonderland (amusement park) Bake day -chef Paintball Golfing Miniput
International film festival/ Hot Docs/ Worldwide Short Film Festival/ Afterdark Horror fest Toronto Jazz Festival (not as great as Montreal one, but have to make do...) Summerlicious Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition Toronto Beaches Jazz Festival Yorkville Beer Festival Toronto Caribbean Carnival (Caribana) Taste of Danforth Cinematique Ontario AGO (new exhibition just arrived, another one coming mid-July) ROM Musicals (Evil Dead the musical was hilarious) Shaw/Stratford Festival Wine tours in Niagara hiking in parks (Algonquin/Tobermory/Niagara Escarpment) And Toronto is BORING? Only boring people complain about boredom of a place... -whistle
lol.. thats not that boring. amusement parks don't amuse you? -lol theres heaps of things to do in toronto according to your list although i've never been there but HK is the best -bigsmile
there's nothing to do in downtown! its a very ghetto place. i'm pretty sure that's fun. amusement parks are fun. but its the same every year. so basically, my excitement for amusement park are over. no offence and all, but seriously, who would go to a museum in the summer? or wine tours in niagara? and i wish i could go to an international film festival. but its not that easy. but anywhos, thank you for all ur suggestion. it was helpful -innocent
Call me geek or whatnot, the list I provided was activities I actually engage in during the summer... <_< If you say "who would go to a museum in the summer", when exactly do you think a person will go to a museum? And wine tour is only good during the lovely days during the summer, explore the vineyards is quite a gratifying experience since I often pick up good and lesser-known wine at reasonable prices. But I understand that it's not everyone's cup of tea (glass of wine?! -tongue2)... Tickets for the TIFF is going to be on sale soon, the best bet is the daytime pass if you can see enough films. I used to get the 30-tickets package but they don't have it anymore... Guess I may have to go back to daytime pass this year >.<
it will be fun in the end when im driving my new vehicle... you know what they say, no pain, no gain.
I think museum is best during summer so i can get out of the heat and look at interesting things. -^_^ For wine, unfortunately theres no such thing up here, but they are overall very nice places to be. Vineyards would be a good choice because of its magnificent views (at least the ones ive seen).
I've heard that somewhere down around Eastern Township, there are vineyards, although more of them are orchards so more fruit wines than grape wines... Love the iced cider down there -^_^
-what? o i'm sorry. didn't mean to offend you. -flow i've actually been to wine tours before with family when we went to niagara, but that was a long time ago. it was ...ok i guess. i don't quite remember. I'm more of a tea person then a wine person.
Several of the vineyards got exquisite food and view if you ask me. My all-time favourite is Jackson-Triggs, decent wine with a great wine-tour ($5 per person, including 3 wine samples). Pellar Estate got a beautiful estate, but its wine tour is nothing to write home about (not to mention its mediocre wine). Another good one is Henry of Pelham between St. Catherine and Niagara, a lesser known wine maker with great wine. Inniskillin (not sure about the spelling) got a really crappy self-guided wine tour, but its wine, ice wine and late harvest dessert wine in particular, are great value. And in fact, several of the vineyards offer ice-wined flavoured tea. I love them when I make iced tea, non-alcoholic but flavourful
