Someone might find this postcard very familiar… right, Mommy Willa? Tee-hee-hee.
It arrived yesterday and I had to post it right away.

 

My friend Willa, the creator of this meme, sent this to me while she and her family visited Toronto last week. I know she would be very busy in Toronto for some official errands but she still took some time to send me a postcard. Thank you, I appreciate it very much. Now you wait for a Cambodian postcard coming your way, okay?

Toronto is the most populous city in Canada, with a cosmopolitan and international population; it is the capital of Ontario province, Canada’s economic capital, considered a global city, and one of the world’s top financial centres.

I can only identify two structures there – and please correct me if I’m wrong, Willa :)

The  defining structure in the Toronto skyline is the CN Tower. It is a communications and observations tower completed in 1976. Standing 553.3metres tall it was the world’s tallest free-standing structure and world’s tallest tower (for 34 years) until the Burj Khalifa in Dubai and Canton Tower in Guangzhou was constructed. Another structure that I recognise just by looking at the dome, o

f course, is the Rogers Centre – it’s a multi-purpose stadium right next to the CN Tower, hosting not only sports events (like the tennis Rogers Cup where Rafael Nadal played last year) but also international conventions, fairs, and concerts.

And now, on to the stamps…

This Toronto postcard is postage paid with a Canadian flag stamp :) That is so cool! I wish we have something like that here.
