Sure you can argue that you can always see people in costumes like this. This is by the way Canada's Spiderman. He is one of too many performers you will brush with as you go through this spot that spells cultural diversity like no other.a1373b359903cf6789196ed2dba42706.0.jpg
Yeah that's me taking free pictures with him though of course I am sure he would appreciate donations.

That's Erma my college nursing classmate and we hail from the same province. One look at their road sign and you'd most likely have an idea of what Kensington market is all about IMG20190915151938.jpg

In this place, humanity is celebrated. Various restaurants offering different cuisines abound. An array of performers are welcomed and art is viewed in different perspectives. solidarity despite individual differences is best put to life here. IMG20190915150318.jpg
A car turned into a plant pot why not! As you stroll I'm sure one can get an inspiration for his new creation. At best, one can learn that there is a huge world worthy of our time and our best selves that we need not make others feel less of themselves just because they don't share our believes

We were lucky to have chitchat with the artist themselves and luckier to strike a souvenir post with them. IMG20190915150657.jpg

It's hard to define what this place is in one word really.Soni suppose it's best to just say it's my favourite hang out place in Toronto .

We were lucky that the weather was comfy for lazy walks and there was an ongoing jazz festival. So yeah as you can imagine we did also listen to some songs with the locals. IMG20190915152326.jpg

The religious beliefs are also encouraged here. Seeing for oneself that multicultural society is possible may convince you that world peace might just be around the corner.
