Nowhere but here...
Toronto really is a fantastic place to be during the World Cup. Aside from the host nation itself, I would argue it is the best place for atmosphere, antics and variety in the world. Every day travelling about the city, you can't go five minutes without seeing a flag either flying outside of a house or attached to someone's car. If that wasn't enough, every team in the cup has a community to support it, in this multi-cultural city of ours, where you can watch a game with people from England, Italy, Algeria and Greece, just to name a few. If watching the game with fans who are going for a team that means the world to them isn't enough, then immerse yourself in the culture, food and beer during the game. This World Cup, I encourage you to visit various places across the city and be part of one of these communities for a couple of hours. You'll have the opportunity to go on a mini vacation every day and enjoy some quality soccer at the same time. And who knows, if you are like me and still don't know what team you are going to support, one of these communities might just adopt you for a month. Thanks Toronto, this is going to be a good one!

Done and done. I had a great time visiting various bars and neighborhoods in the city. No matter where you go, you are always sucked into some sort of celebration.
ReplyDeleteI just hope a couple people remembered on Canada Day that they are Canadian, ha!
