About

This blog is by an Estonian discovering her childhood dream country Canada. Based in Toronto, but sometimes traveling. Looking for an Estonian connection in the far away country and giving away tips about what to see, what to do, what to experience. Hence the name of the blog: Toronto. Canada. Estonia.

Phone madness




Didn't have time to check my phone during an exciting night, so when I got home and checked it, it was pretty busy :)

Nuit Blanche madness



World's longest street Yonge St. was so busy at a late hour like during a New Year's Eve. The southern strip of the street was closed and lots of happenings, performances and shows took place there and its side streets.

The greatest art experience.


Nuit Blanche at College Street








That was by far the coolest exhibition I have ever been, as you had to take off your shoes and socks to be able to visit and you got an umbrella as well. You got to walk in water and step on logs and pass showers. So it was like a forest or a rain forest, however you felt like.

After the event you could sanitize your feet and dry with a tissue. Such a cool idea and nicely organized.

Nuit Blanche at Japanese Cultural Centre



Japanese had put together a cool exhibition about their architecture, art, culture and transportation. Here is a mini maquette of Tokyo.  

Nuit Blanche at Bata Shoe Museum




Shadow dancer and many origami doves flying through projector light. Nice beginning.

Nuit Blanche



My greatest Toronto art experience happened while participating at Nuit Blanche. This is sunset to sunrise a
 free all-night contemporary art event throughout Toronto.

My starting point was Bata Shoe Museum at Bloor Street West. Stuff already happened outside. Next post will reveal the inside.





Sunset over Toronto's west end



I have realized that the sunsets here are the prettiest, much better than in Estonia :)
