Attractions and facts about Toronto!

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

Toronto is the capital of Ontario, the second biggest of the Canadian Provinces. Toronto has become a haven for people to visit, and tourists from all over the world have fallen in love with this city. It is right on the coast line in the south east of Ontario.

Almost 2 and half million people live in this city, making it the most populated city in Canada, and the fifth largest in North America. There are many factors that have made Toronto one of the biggest financial centres on the planet, one factor being tourism. Toronto is home to some of the most amazing wonders in the world, and has its very own unique ones to share. The best known Landmark in Toronto has got to be the Freestanding Canadian National Tower, it towers at around 554 metres tall.

The Sports Stadia was the first stadium (also known as Sky Dome) to have the world’s first retractable roof. At the moment two teams from different sports share this stadium, the Blue Jays (baseball) and the Argonauts (Canadian Football). This stadium is world renowned.

Toronto has many attractions but probably the biggest isn’t even in the city, it lies about fifty miles away and it is Niagara Falls. If you look at the position of Niagara falls and Toronto, it makes sense that it has been named as Toronto’s biggest tourist attraction. If you really want to see this magnificent wonder of the world, then travelling fifty miles out of your way to go and see it, won’t be a wasted journey.

History of Toronto can be captured in the Royal Ontario Museum, if you want to find out about the history of this place, then you need to pay this museum a visit. There are several different areas in this museum, ranging from Geology through to Palaeontology and zoology. This makes it any history and geologists dream attraction.

Toronto holidays are well worth the while, and so are Vancouver holidays, which I will discuss in my next blog, Canada holidays are the new American holiday, which will you visit?

Cuba still represses the Freedom of speech of it’s inhabitants!

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

Everyone had been lulled into a false sense of security that Cuba slowly became a freer and holiday like country. The Cuban police need to be careful what they do now, recently they have made a massive slip up.

Cuba is showing us once again how much they are prepared to stop the general public speaking about them, by locating a Blogger and attacking her on Monday! Yoani, a Blogger in Cuba who is known for putting her views on her country across the Internet was approached by plain clothes policeman and beaten the other day. After learning there was a demonstration about to happen, she and two other friends headed to this and on their way were stopped and beaten by undercover police officers.

Tourism has started to boom in Cuba, and only recently, this has started to take off and improve. However now they have to try and patch up this mess they have caused because they have started to rely on Tourism and the money it brings in quite heavily.

Although Cuba has been known for keeping a tight hold on freedom of speech, it was thought that things had calmed down and that people had a little more leeway. Attacking an Internet Blogger that is quite established in the Internet world, is probably one of the worst possible ideas, surely speaking to her about the issue is better off, this won’t look good for Cuba at all. Not to mention that the main problem is that she can spread her message to the whole world in a matter of minutes.

Holidays have been damaged by the recession in the past couple of years, but now they are back on the rise, Cuba needs to get these holidays or lose money and income, so what do you say would you like to go on a Cuba holiday, or perhaps Maldives holidays, or different Caribbean holidays sound like a more sensible idea this year. Recently I embarked on Sri Lanka holidays, and that’s not exactly a quite place, but I would prefer it to Cuba at the moment.

The Virus is till strong!

Sunday, December 27th, 2009

The Swine flu epidemic is still raging throughout the world. Many of us fell under the false impression that Swine Flu was on its way out. Now Swine Flu has reached practically every corner of the planet, and is still taking lives. Although Swine Flu has received such a cold welcome, what are the main symptoms for us to worry about?

There are a few symptoms that are clearly distinguishable from the common flu and Swine Flu. Swine Flu is described as a virus that you either definately know you have, or you haven’t got it. Flu makes its way through the body at a slower rate, it takes around two days for it to get to it’s worst. Swine Flu is one of those Viruses that takes action very quickly, and deals damage fast. The Symptoms that you get with Swine Flu are very much the same as those that you get from the Common Flu, such as Back aches and muscle ache, Nausea. The main difference is that all these symptoms are explained by those that have had it as “15 times worse” and “extremely difficult to move, even get out of bed”.

Tourism is once again being dealt a blow due to the Swine Flu Virus. School half term has just passed, and so have the holiday rushes that come with it, but it was not quite so pleasant for some travelling to Egypt, suspected of having Swine Flu. These people have described their experiences as harrowing, and the place they were taken to to be a “hell hole”. Before the tourists even knew it, armed guards were alerted to the Childrens body heat as being “high”, and they were bundled into ambulances and taken to a nearby hospital. Swine Flu won’t be vacating the premises or leaving the building at any time soon, it will be a virus that hangs around and will either fade quickly at some point, or hang around for years.

Egypt holidays have taken a bit of a bashing recently; Caribbean holidays including St Lucia holidays have been very promising through the Swine Flu time.
