Toronto, Canada

I'm in Toronto this week for training. During our short twenty minute cab ride from the airport I noticed not one house. It seems as though everyone here lives in a high rise condo.






We are staying at the Cosmopolitan Hotel & Spa. And yes, it's a very nice hotel ($250/night). I have a flat screen tv in the living area of the suite and another flat screen in the bedroom. The view of Lake Ontario alongside the skyline is beautiful as well.


Yesterday we ate sushi and drank some saki at NAMI. Afterwards, we walked around and ended up at Eaton Centre. We weren't impressed and left after walking around for thirty minutes. I am not sure what we are planning to do tonight. We may try to go to a Mapleleafs game at the Air Canada Centre. Thursday we plan to visit CN Tower since we'll have a half day to explore. We are also planning to visit The Art Gallery of Ontario and possibly a few of the markets.

One other thing I noticed while walking around yesterday was that Starbucks does not have a monopoly on overpriced coffee in Toronto. There are a lot of other coffee shops. Starbucks IS here, just not everywhere like I'm used to. There are also many quaint restaurants and pubs which I wish we could try but don't have the time.
