多伦多每年8月底都会举办台湾文化节，邀请台湾的文艺界、美食界代表前来加拿大展现宝岛魅力。免费入场。精彩的歌舞表演、台湾电影、台湾美食、台湾乡土艺术展示吸引众多市民和游客。
2007年重点展示的台湾民间艺术是来自高雄的布袋戏。
布袋戏又称为掌中戏，是一种源自福建泉州的木偶戏，随着闽南移民的足迹广泛流传于台湾、槟城等地。布袋戏在台湾省尤其蓬勃兴旺，是各种庙会不可缺少的节目，甚至发展出了电视布袋戏的新品种。

FreshCo Supermarkets in Toronto, Canada
FreshCo is a Canadian discount supermarket chain owned by Sobeys.
FreshCo uses the slogan, “Fresher, Cheaper.” If you aren’t satisfied with an item, bring it back with your receipt within 14 days and they’ll give you your money back.
FreshCo offers “price match”. If a major supermarket competitor within your local store’s geographic trade area offers a lower price on any item that FreshCo carries, simply show a FreshCo cashier the competitor’s price in their flyer/ad (current) or on their receipt (within 7 days of purchase) and FreshCo will sell you that item for 1¢ less. Applies to identical items (same brand, item type (in the case of produce, meat and bakery), size and attributes) or comparable items in the case of private label. Does not apply to prescriptions or gift cards. Excludes ‘spend x get x’; clearance sales, and ‘free’ promotions and discounts obtained through loyalty or other preferred customer programs. Does not apply to competition misprints or withdrawn or corrected advertisements. FreshCo limits quantities to 2 identical products/flavours.
Good news for tourists: there is a FreshCo supermarket right behind Gladstone Hotel on Queen Street West and The Drake Hotel is just one block away.

Back to Toronto
I’ve just come back from sunny Hawaii yesterday. A snowstorm hit Toronto today.
The weather is really bad. But Daniel told me there’s a paycheck for me and I need to sign the contract for my parttime webmaster job. So I decided to go downtown after all.
When I met up with Daniel and told him I need a long vacation this summer. He decided not to sign the contract with me and didn’t even give me the paycheck for my previous work. I don’t care. They don’t pay me well anyway.

Boxing Day 2
I went to Fairview Mall today. 50% off deals were still everywhere while I couldn’t find anything I’d like to buy among those on sale items.
One of the MEXX white shirt I liked didn’t have small sizes. Most were XXL, XL and L. The smallest was M which looked still pretty large and wasn’t even white anymore. I must be really crazy if I bought it.
The H&M in Fairview Mall was pretty small and didn’t have many items on sale. Only those with red tag were on sale (50% off the already reduced price) and most of them were for women. The prices were really low though, eg: some $69.99 girls jeans were now only $9.98.
I left Fairview Mall empty-handed. But I some Nike stuff at Winners on my way home. At Winners, only those clearance items with red tags get 25% additional discount.
I’m happy while tired now.
