Richmond Night Market

I had to make two trips to the night market because there was so much to eat! My number 1 favourite was the Hurricane Potato; well worth waiting in line for. I chose the salt and vinegar sauce on mine.





I also had some grass jelly and red bean dessert. It was okay at first but ended up tasting slightly medicinal.


I was seriously tempted to try one of these fried desserts but I chickened out.

Toronto 2010

Never stay at College Hostel! It was the worst place I have ever stayed at in my life and I very rarely complain about accommodations! I hope somebody bulldozes it down, ugghh!! I didn't even want to take a picture of that place, yuck!!!!!!

The only good thing about the hostel was it's close proximity to Kensington Market and Chinatown. I really liked the market; they sold allsorts there and it was very colourful.






Just before the Irie Music Festival we did some shopping at another market where I bought enough shea butter to keep my skin soft for a very long time. It was so cheap! I love Toronto!






This was my first time at the Caribana.I decided to rep Jamaica while Sheila had a Trinidad and Tobago flag.




Who would have thought that among 1 million people I would run into an old friend from college????


The parade was crazy and a lot of fun! I even saw NBA star Jamaal Magloire there!













Pork sandwich and yummy fried plantains!


 After the parade, we went for a walk along the harbourfront. Interesting sights.






At night we went to the Queen Ifrica Concert. Had to drag ourselves back to our smelly hostel afterwards.

Happy Canada Day!

Happy 143rd birthday,Canada! It was exciting to see the Olympic Cauldron lit up again:)


I don't have any red clothes so I wore red earrings instead!




This was my first time attending the Canada Day parade. It was pretty short, only an hour or so, but really fun all the same! I could feel the patriotism welling up!
