Summer is almost over.
A couple of weeks and again Toronto for six months will be in the wintertime.
This month is the most busy on street entertainment,events and festivals.
As my friend says, do not go from Toronto in the summer to a distant country.
Everything is close.
Just choose the country, see when and where in Toronto the festival of this country and go there.
He’s right.
Everything is at festivals.
There is music, dancing and trade in traditional food and clothes.
So I got on last weekend for two different, unique and very interesting street festivals.
More precisely at three.
I was a representative of the Ukrainian Drama Theatre Zahrava on the Ukraine’s Independence Day last Saturday.
This is a regular event in which our theater participates. The theater of the gates is one of the oldest ukrainian theaters in Toronto. This year the theater will be 65 years old. And we are already a unique collective, who are proud and usually invited to participate in events related to Ukraine.
The next was the Chinese Street Festival on Spadina Street.
This is Chinatown.
I like to go there on ordinary days.
There are a lot of Chinese shops with nice prices for all sorts of souvenirs. The cheapest T-shirts ($ 3 for $ 10) .Tourists for souvenirs or gifts-always come there.
Still there are inexpensive restaurants with Chinese and Vietnamese food.
Still there is a Chinese supermarkets, where everything is from China. There I buy tea, fruit-vegetables and sometimes traditional Chinese goods.
Spadine in Toronto is known as the street on which the smoking of marijuana was legalized. It was still last autumn. Then the street turned into eateries, where people hurried and went out with shining eyes.
Spadine in the inner streets famous by some inexpensive shops of clothes and shoes. There you can cheaply cut your hair or make a manicure.
And the murals of Spadine are painted brightly .
All this image of the Chinese district of Toronto.
And now I’ll show you and tell you what I saw yesterday.
As I left at the Spadine subway, there were a lot of people hurrying to the festival. I had to drive a couple stops on the streetcar. And get to the environment of China. Everything says, sings, dances, invites and treats in Chinese.
An unusually generous people and a festival.
Unlike other countries, they closed half of the street for the festival. So they gave the opportunity to move the streetcar.
I know that in other regions, overlapping traffic for two days of the festival causes a lot of problems for the residents of those streets.
Then everything is correct, logical and decent. It always bribes.
A lot of people, a mixture of both East Asia and Europe and Latin America-all at the festival.
A huge number of Chinese street restaurants with very cheap prices.
There were accumulating queues of people.
The price of meat on a spit ranged from 1 to 5 dollars.
Combo from 5 to 7 dollars.
It bribed people and people bought and tryed food..everywhere stood smell, sometimes not quite appetizing.
I’m not one of the lovers of experiments, so I only made films.
Around the voice, sounds.
Color and diversity………all this carries over into another world.
As if there is no Toronto, the northern capital.
I think watching the video you feel in China
How tempting they are!
Standing by the shop- window, saliva running……
I love the Chinese duck.
Its taste is unique.
And if it’s with sake or wine……..oo-o-o-o!
Two both sites were traditional Chinese activities.
And then I looked at the ,,rice cleaning dance,,or ,,rice harvest,,dance…..
This is a traditional dance.
But I smiled, looking at the dancers.
This is from our life in Canada, the Chinese girls are so fat. All this meat, fats. They are deposited in the hips and tall and small women, sparing neither me nor the Chinese.…..
And we with 160 growth directly turn into ballons. So I watched the dance of such ballons from Toronto, who danced the traditional dance of harvesting rice.
Very interesting dance. Smooth and plastic.
I admit humor in my blog
Do not rush to evaluate.
Women who have moved to Canada are subject to changes in the form of the body. And this is not news. It is a fact our life in north country.
Well if you thin. Everyone else should move a lot and manage these fats and kilograms.
Аnd I’ll show you the most interesting video for me.
This is a traditional head.
On the parade, which took place on the first day of the festival, they are carried and danced.
A very beautiful procession along the street.
Today they have already danced and are lying for the show.
They are huge and majestic.
Like everything good, the festival is over.
All removed, put forward for the next year.
And I decided that next year I will come to Spadine.
Can buy a duck or beef on a stick.
And again I’ll see the ,,Rice harvest,, dance.
Thanks SPADINA!
