So, on Saturday, during the few precious moments we weren't sitting on our new couch, we made it into Chinatown. A quick search will tell you that there are several Chinatowns in Toronto and area. We went to the only one that really matters - the one that's a 10 minute walk from where we live. Open air food markets, shops selling fifty kinds of crap, and signs you can't read. Pretty much like the ones in Vancouver or San Francisco, but they might be a good source of cheap fruits and vegetables. Every time I mention the Dominion store around the corner from our place, people say, "Oh, that's the expensive one." And there doesn't seem to be an answer to, "Well, where's a cheaper one?" This may be the answer.
From Chinatown we drifted into Kensington Market. Very cool shops and restaurants, narrow streets, lots of people. One store was nothing but spices. We will have to return here.
On the way home we passed through Chinatown again. It always comes back to Chinatown.
