We executed our plans this time for a change. We planned to take Friday OFF and head to Toronto through Detroit. As planned, we started to Detroit on Thursday evening and reached Detroit in record 4 Hours time though the traffic was very slow due to an accident near Dayton.
I was expecting the Visa procedure to be bit more complex than what it looked like but to my surprise Candian embassy did a great job. The lady officer at the border checked the passports and did not even bother to strike that Entry type as I got single entry visitor visa. We were expecting her to sign that off and stamp the passport that the immigration is checked. We drove back into US and entered the lane there again to make sure the procedures are complete. Another surprise! This time too, the official did not stamp the passport but striked the validity.
By the time we reached Niagara Falls, it was already 8:30 PM and falls was not very clear. Fire works at the falls was not any impressive! One old man helped us to get to one of the happenning places at Niagara Falls.
There is lot of Asean population in Toronto and I started to think that Hindi or Punjabi is what is needed to survive in Toronto. Indian and Pakistani markets are neighbouring markets and it is amazing to see Paani Poori, Sugar Cane juice and some exotic Indian dishes being served on the road as in India.
CN Tower is defintely one of the wonders. You have to step on the glass floor that is there in 113th floor to test your courage. Believe it or not, Glass floor is just 2.5 Inches thick! Been to Saravana Bhavan in Toronto and enjoyed the Coffee more than anything. Udipi, lot of catching up to do!
Two days of sleep was completely lost and getting to feel good now.
