Toronto Travel: Buskerfest – Fireeater skateboard trick

admin — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 11:07:36 +0000

This video clip was taken on August 26, 2007 during my cycling trip to Buskerfest, a great street festival that brings together musicians, acrobats, jugglers and other street performers. I cycled in from Toronto’s east end through the Tayler Creek Park system, headed south through the Don Valley, made a quick stop at the Allen Gardens Conservatory as well as at St. James Cathedral until I finally reached the festival area which ran along Front Street all the way from Jarvis to Yonge Street. The streets were blocked off to traffic and large crowds started to form in the early afternoon. I first caught a high-energy performance by one of my favourite musicians – Dr. Draw whose acrobatic electronic violin playing is something to behold. Various performances of magicians, fire eaters, mimes and trampoline acrobats kept the crowd entertained. I also caught a 45 minute show by “Dynamike” whose comedic gift and witty comments, whose ability to juggle a burning chain saw and ride a 3 m high unicycle (while juggling) had the crowd in awe.

Toronto Travel: Toronto Biking Tour -Entering University of Toronto campus

admin — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 06:16:44 +0000

This video clip was taken during my biking tour on July 7, 2007. I rode from Toronto’s east end through Riverdale, stopped for a brief visit at Riverdale Farm and the adjacent Necropolis, then continued on through picturesque Cabbagetown, past Yonge Street on to Queens Park and the University of Toronto campus. I had a little lunch on Baldwin Street, a really cool street with lots of different ethnic restaurants, and then cycled on towards the Rogers Centre, Toronto’s baseball stadium with the retractable roof, and the Harbourfront entertainment area and then back home through the Beaches. The clips from this biking trip are part of my “Toronto Favourites” series and many more of these discoveries are to come. I am actually a travel writer, and whenever I am not out of town, I write about the city that I live in: Toronto, a city that has many cool places. I love to get out and explore the city and discover some new cool spots, and now you can enjoy them with me.
