Of Toronto...

...which is the city of magnificence, despite the glittering cold which caused my fingers to scream retreat about halfway through our afternoon today. (Luckily, thewronghands came to my rescue with leather gloves which contained superior insulation. We loves her, preeeecious

Always good to know that I'm not the only one that feels that way about the place. ^^

It's just a ludicrously good city. If it only it was a bit warmer in winter...

Alberta was much the same, though when I was there it was hot rather than cold. You can't explain the niceness of Canadians to Americans, because Americans think people in America are nice. Shop attendants smile at you and talk to you in America too, don't they? But in America they obviously do it because it's corporate policy that they must. In Canada, if that's the case then they're bloody good actors.

And in Canada, "nice coat" is a compliment rather than a statement of covetousness.

I think I marginally prefer Australia. In IQ test terminology - Australia is to England as Canada is to America.

Indeed - I am still bowled over by the sheer quantity of smile-reciprocating denizens.

Alas, I left my usually-ubiquitous camera at home. However, there shall be another trip by the sounds of things, and many photos will be taken. That and I'll try once it warms up to get a few of the griffin and make them somehow available.
