Shopping
Unless you have a car you will
probably do all of your groceries shopping in one of the many small supermarkets.
Or you will find a friend who has a car :) In that case you should note that when driving
you can turn right on red. Other kinds of shopping can be done at Dundas Square
which has a really big mall. The mall has all the shops needed for pretty clothes
shopping.

Events
There is a website for special
events in Toronto http://www.ttc.ca/Trip_planner/index.jsp.
The website contains lot of information about some very cool things going down
in Toronto.
If you like art and you would like to enjoy it
for free visit the Art gallery of Ontario on Wednesday night from 6pm to
8:30pm. There is also a student discount
admission to Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) on Friday nights starting at 4.30pm.

Night life
You definitely do not want to miss
out on the wild night life Toronto has to offer. Check this out – the places
such as bars are open as long as 2am! And in case you are already tired earlier
you are lucky because the last metro takes you home at 1:30am. Therefore we
would advise you to go house parties. There parties are much better since by
the time you get to the party in town (it takes about an hour to get there)
it’s time to go home (if you are decided to take public transport). And not to
lie to you, since we are all students – house parties are also much much
cheaper.
If you want to drink in bars and
clubs in Canada you must be at least 19 years old. Again, go house parties! J No
public drinking is permitted and it is not possible to buy alcohol in
supermarkets. The alcohol store is very very far from the village or campus so
think carefully when you are stocking up.
Still, if you decide to go out for a
couple of drinks remember to visit the Hard Rock Café for some cocktails and
some really nice atmosphere. London tap house is another must-stop. It is a really
nice club to go to at night with a terrace that you simply must see. The best
view of Toronto that there is!!!

Going out for dinner
There are 3 places that we can recommend if
you get tired of all the delicious home-cooked student food:
- Sushi place with a great deal: all you can eat for 20 bucks
- Eggspectation is a good egg place but kind of fancy at Dundas Square
- Little Italy is a really good Mexican place
Special thanks for
this article goes to Xenia Fink a 3rd year IBA student who went on
exchange to Toronto and was so kind as to provide us with all of this
first-hand information.
