Ontario is the first province which I visited.
Toronto
Nice meet up with Wongs and it's always nice to have met your lovely sis and her hubby in the northern part of the globe! They are the first I met in this strange land! they have been a great host!! =) generous and extremely thoughtful. one commonality is.. we are carnivores, meat lover. Kekekek
Markham is the place whereby we hang most. Relatively new developed area. A bit of rural feel :) Went to a few plaza where you find lots of Asians esp hongKee. ;p
Toronto is the largest city in Canada. Yup, the downtown is full of skyscraper and branded shops. CN tower is just like any other city tower ;p We visited St Laurent Market and drive thru the city. Unique structure for Royal Ontario Museum, quite eye-catching! One more thing. The street like Yong street is actually quite long.. >20km. Faint.
Niagara
Raymond was nice, he drove us to Niagara Fall. Yup, it was astounding!!! hehe.. so excited to get near to the horseshoe fall on maid of the midst. The experience is real good! I saw lots rainbow.
Short drive to Niagara on the lake also quite cool. nice houses and awesome view. hehe... and then we went for Ice wine tasting at both Inniskillin and Peller. Tasted Riesling, Cabernet Franc and Oak Aged. I prefer Oak Aged from Peller while Riesling from inniskillin. kekeke… smells good too!
The steak dinner at KEG was also great!! Yumz. Good ambience too since you're able to see niagara fall from up there. And there was fireworks! Ah well, firework din really excite me that much.
Kingston
Kingston is a place where there are lots of jailbirds. hehe.. in the meantime, there's a university there too. ha. weird. It is near to US. Due to the geographical closeness to US, Queen Victoria feels that it was unsafe to be the capital..
There was Farmers market during our visit. So we've got ourselves some pastries!there you go... Ottawa was the choice!
Ottawa
Parliament hill. a picture says a thousand words! I love the architecture esp the library! Hehe…
It's such a pity that we din have lots time touring around Ottawa. this is a picture from Québec and Ontario border, taken from Quebec civilization museum. hehe..
The next two attractions located at Quebec province. The whole Quebec province uses French as the primary language, that's make it more cultured uh! duh! hehe... but i like the francais feel ;p signboards are in French. Lalal.. French culture!
Montreal
I always wanted to visit this city. heard there's table top dancing!! Not only woman but man!!! it was the French music festival when we arrived. We managed to take a stroll in the city since the hotel is located in the city center. As we listened to the concert, mum said she was giddy... ok, let's walk back. hmm i shall go again.
The next day, we visited St Paul church up on the Mont royal. bro André was the person behind it. it was aid that many miracles were performed there and those sticks were the evidence! Hehe.
And Olympic Tower. You know, it was only till last year that the state government finished paying the loan for that construction 30 years ago. Not so wise planning. Heard Montreal Olympic is the only Olympic which suffer that much of loss :x
Are you able to see the resemblance of any animals from this construction? ;p
Old Quebec City
Guess what! it rains when we reached old Québec city!!! chill. nice European feel city... romantic is the world.
Famous Mural. Can you tell who is real and who is fake?
Mum with Chateau Fontage, the famous 古堡 hotel
long toilet Queue. haha.. see the Quebec province symbol on the building wall?
Thousand island
It's like the summer house, quoting the queen. nice 1hr boat ride. kekeke..
Saw the castle, built by Pierre to his wife but she was died prior to completion. and there's shortest bridge btw Canada and US ;)
last note, the trip was with TAIPAN and the tour guide cmi la... her English is simply..duh. haha.. so mean!!
on 5th Aug, i bid farewell to Wongs.
