Allan Gardens was surprising. I thought it'd just be a normal greenhouse filled with flowers and trees, but no. It was surprising because it was much larger than I thought, and had much more things than I thought. The gardens had an entrance to a huge circular dome which housed a lot of tropical and exotic plants, which is completely normal, nothing out of the ordinary. 

But look through door number 1 and you'll see a whole desert area (which was incredibly hot), and through door number 2 had an area filled with plants that were more accessible for us to plant, and had I think 3 or 4 ponds (one filled with goldfish, another with a watermill, this conservatory was high bawling).

After the gardens (which was beside a huge dog park btw, puppies galore), we decided to walk around Ryerson University, and asked for the most interesting building to visit. We eventually decided that the archetectural building had the most to offer, and even if I wasn't that impressed, there WERE a lot of projects hanging everywhere.i.which is cool...I guess...

After Ryerson we decided to hop on the streetcar and go to University of Toronto  Chinatown (by accident). But for some reason I didn't see a lot of asian people. Wierd.

And lastly, the last place we decided to visit was University of Toronto  Art Gallery of Ontario. In where I found out that I can't care about art statues, paintings, or ship models. They had a very little section for photography and it wasn't even modern photography. I had to admit...I was sad. But on the flip side, the AGO and ROM are free on wednesday. Go visit if if you have time.

Btw, does anyone know the photography laws in Canada/Ontario? I would love to know them in detail because everytime I take a picture for this blog/flickr, I feel like I'm breaking some privacy law or something.

And yes, there is no love for UoT, Sorry.
