One of the things we liked about the city is its public transport system. Trams and subway system were excellent and we never had to use our car, it just sat in the hotel garage. <\/p>\n<p>In addition to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.toronto.ca\/attractions\/attraction_highlights.htm\">regular tourist attractions<\/a>, we also visited India Bazaar on Gerrard street. Dined at a south Indian vegetarian restaurant on Gerrard Street called Udipi Palace. We enjoyed having hot masala Dosa, Idli and Vada. There is also a new grocery shop, Sabji Mandi, opened in Brampton. They had an outrageous opening sale going and I went nuts. Bought about 150 dollars worth of groceries there. The prices for items like rice, dals and vegetables were unbelievable. Two 10 pound Basmathi rice bags for $8.99, 8 pound dal bag $2.99! I think with the purchases I did, I am set for this winter.<\/p>\n<p>Photos of Toronto in December winter weather:<br \/>\n<center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/mahanandi\/images\/toronto\/lakeontario.jpg\" alt=\"Lake Ontario, on a very cloudy, wintry day\" \/><\/center><center><small>Lake Ontario- view from the top of CN Tower<\/small><\/center><\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/mahanandi\/images\/toronto\/cntower.jpg\" alt=\"CN Tower, Toronto\" \/><\/center><center><small>CN Tower, Toronto<\/small><\/center><\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/mahanandi\/images\/toronto\/financialdistricttoronto.jpg\" alt=\"Financial District, Downtown, Toronto\" \/><\/center><center><small>Financial District, Downtown-Toronto<\/small><\/center><\/p>\n<p>For this week in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nandyala.org\/mahanandi\/archives\/2005\/11\/19\/indian-kitchen\/\">Indian Kitchen<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/mahanandi\/images\/toronto\/Indiansugarfromsubjimandi,toronto.jpg\" alt=\"Indian Sugar Purchased at Subji Mandi, Toronto\" \/><\/center><center><small>Indian Sugar (Large Crystal Type) Purchased at Subji Mandi, Toronto<\/small><\/center><!--02bdc736e02c234d3e79ab8785e9eb1d--><!--8729cfc190eacc8437079595651ae60f--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All last week, we were in Toronto.
