Walking out of China town, and take a turn in one of the streets to find yourself in a neighborhood where cultural diversity is a day to day reality: Rasta people, latinos, asian, alternatives, new wave youth, shoppers ... you name it!
The houses, the shops and everything around seem to have a history to tell, a soul.
Kensington Market is a community in it's own. When you are visiting and have an afternoon to spare, you must visit it. You won't be disappointed!

You know I've never been to Canada and my son stays there and I do believe he's told me about the Kensington Market too. He loved it, he said it reminded him of Green Market Square in Cape Town and going by your photos I think he's right. Love the vibey colors and the chaotic arty look. I will need to make a plan to go visit him and maybe, just maybe we can go to the market together ;-)
ReplyDeleteI've been there! Went shopping with my friends Suzanne and Patti. Even blogged about it with pictures. Love the vibe and bright colors.
ReplyDeleteYou were not kidding about it being the most colourful neighbourhood, its clear to see from your pictures! I simply looks gorgeous and like such a fun place to explore. I've never been to Canada (I'd like to!) If I ever get the chance I will stop here, it looks like such a cultural gem!
ReplyDeleteSounds like such a fun trip. Canada is definitely on my travel bucket list!
ReplyDeleteXOXO

What a fun place to check out!
ReplyDeleteI think Toronto is a fantastic city and I hope I will have the chance to visit it again sometimes soon. The Kensigton market sounds like the place I would love to visit, as I missed it the last time I was there. It looks so colorful!
ReplyDeleteI always wanted to go Canada just for the experience. One day I will go without making excuses.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a different side of Toronto -- I haven't been there since I was a kid. The graffiti art reminds me of Melbourne.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my FAVORITE spots in TORONTO! The food is epic!

ReplyDeleteI agree to your statement that the houses, the shops and everything around us seem to have a history to tell. When I have a time to reflect to life, I sit to a comfortable and peaceful place, for example in a unpopulated park, look around and feel the vibes around me. That is so refreshing. You have such a nice trip by the way. I like the photos! So colorful!
