Toronto Chinatown 2008

My first video blog!

Chinatown Toronto and Chinatown Mall Mississauga Ontario.

We decided to spend our first day in Toronto at Chinatown. We made a stop at the Chinatown Mall in Mississauga. This mall is more or less a strip mall with Chinese decoration for the architecture. Chicago Chinatown has a wall similar to the decorated wall in the video here, except Chicago's wall is only about a quarter in length. The gate over the entrance to the mall is really impressive.

Toronto's Chinatown is much larger than Chicago's.

It looks much the same as last year. We even ate at the same restaurant we ate at last year. Service was a bit disappointing though. It took forever for someone to come and take our order and the food took about as long and the three dishes we ordered all came at separate times. The tea was cold before we even started to eat.

The fruit stands in Chinatown I think are the real reason my wife wanted to come to Toronto.

She couldn't wait to get there. We do not get many of the different types of fruit they have here in Toronto. Me, I don't even eat most fruit. My wife is happy, and that is all that counts. Some of it looks kinda weird to me.

We got a late start today.

Some of the stores were starting to close before we got to them. We will be coming back for some more shopping later in the week.

This is my first time doing digital video for my blog.

The video was shot with a Canon SD600 still camera. I did the editing with Windows Movie Maker. I'll be trying some other ways of editing the video next time. Hope it is not too boring.

I'd love to hear what you think of the video and any suggestions you might have.
