Here is Dundas St between Spadina and Beverly (after Beverly begins the Art Gallery of Ontario and a new district). Dundas and Spadina are two main arteries in TO.
Its busy, its crowded and it smells ... well funny. I have not yet walked by a shop and melted at the wonderful aromas but perhaps I've been biased. The Lucky Moose Mart is the closest grocery store but .. well ... as Scott said, we are too white to appreciate it. He's being a bit silly but the truth is 75% of the stuff in there is ... ??? I don't know what. I mean besides the obvious fruits and veggies. Since I'm allergic to everything I'm not going to be being too adventurous. I suppose since its not a cuisine I can often eat, it does not encite creativity. I can imagine living besides an Italian grocery shop and melting at the sight of things, but those are foods I'm used to. There is one shop that has boxes of dried mushrooms out front, it looks terribly illegal but it certainly can't be. My favorite is the 99$ department store. Thats just got everything, including 1.50$ Chineese movies! Guess what everyone is getting for X-Mas!
Comparably Montreals Chinatown is very tame but smells better. Vancouver had way more options but it wasn't as dense, the buildings were newer so it felt less intense.
Anyway, it rained and the city smells so I'm a bit grumpy but enjoy the photos.
