Toronto Chinatown

Walking west away from Dundas Square, the scenery starts to change a bit.  You know you're in Chinatown when the big banks have their names subtitled in Chinese. :-)


...and the street names too!


I don't think the Chinese characters on this facade translate to "Espresso" or "French Cafe"... looks more like a theatre company! :-) [Right to left: 聯僑劇社 = "United Overseas Drama Society"?]


The streetscape suddenly looks more like Hong Kong...except that there is more space and less crowds!


Dried fish...


...and other stuff.  Don't you just love that cracked scoop?



Jackfruit. No, this is not the smelly fruit.  You're thinking of durian. Looks similar though.






Freshly squeezed sugarcane..

The Chinatown dollarama! he! he!


Many cheap things here. But the bubble tea at 4.39 plus tax a cup is not!


I bought 4 "Toronto" t-shirts for 9.99 total.  Even if they don't survive the second washing, I won't complain! :-)
