Toronto (part1)---> Eaton Center (shopping disappointment)

Toronto is a megapolis from every angle, and in an uncanny way, reminds me of Singapore with its rows of shopping malls and towering skyscrapers. But geographical similarities aside, the three of us had only one objective: shop like nobody's business. Unfortunately, we were hugely disappointed.

Performing some basic arithmatics, it simply makes more sense to shop during GSS. However, we did compensate this shopping disappointment by taking plenty of pictures in this bustling city.
