New Year In Toronto
Happy New Year everyone!
We left Ottawa on Tuesday to have some fun in Toronto. Now that we are back in Ottawa, there are hundreds of pictures to edit, but I figured I’d start with New Year eve.
In Toronto, most of the party takes place downtown, in Nathan Phillips Square, at the corner of Queen and Bay. There is a small skate rink (small by Ottawa standards — remember, we have the 7.8 kilometers long Rideau Canal!) and skating seemed to be the number one activity. That and eating junk food: I had never seen so many much cotton candy, poutine, hot dog, waffles and sausages!
It wasn’t cold, just a bit rainy. We walked around downtown for a few hours and followed the crowd to Nathan Phillips Square around 11:30 pm. It was quite fun and the small fireworks were a nice touch to the celebration.
So, what are your new years resolutions?

This all looks like fun. I like the fireworks. When I was a kid we set off all kinds of rockets and firecrackers and had a great time with no more than a singed finger. Now all the good stuff ic contraband, whats the deal?

Hi Zhu,
Wish you a very Happy new year 2010. May you travel more and click more gorgeous photos to show us.
You have captured very lively mood of your city.
@Lizz — Cotton candy reminds me of fair in the spring and in the fall. The smell brings me back several years back!
@Graham — You started the year by traveling, which is always a good choice! Your pictures of London are just great mate
@Cornflakegirl — Toronto is such a vibrant city… I find it unique. I hope you get the chance to visit it!
@Agnes — Thank you!
@Tanya —
It’s really just practice and masochism (standing outside for hours)
@Bluefish — I don’t even make resolutions! You must have great legs from all the biking!
@Rémy — I thought of you in Toronto, we saw tons of people wearing Canadian Goose jackets! So I guess it’s a Toronto thing… so funny, it wasn’t even cold (by Ottawa standards) and everyone was wrapped in these super warm coats
@London Caller — Candy floss is a good way to remind you what to do after you eat these candies!
@Soleil — Toronto was great, a nice little escape. Waiting to read your resolutions girl!
@Seraphine — It was fun indeed! NY eve at home is cool too. I don’t usually party much actually.
@Tulsa Gentleman — Feng was the same, growing up in China he played with firecrackers and fireworks a lot. He keeps on telling me they are not that dangerous…!
@Seb — Eh, you are right, I didn’t even realize it!
Taking on the world is a great resolution. Totally achievable with an army of bears like you have.
@Nisha — Thank you so much!
