A First Glance at Toronto

What defines Toronto? From my first three weeks in Toronto, I discover that it is a city of diversity. It is actually a bigger version of Singapore, where Chinese, Malay, Indians, Filipinos, Burmese, Indonesians and other minority groups function harmoniously together. Here in Toronto, so far, I have already met people from Peru, Pakistan, Nigeria, Egypt, Philippines, Manchester, Scotland, Iran, Malaysia, Indonesia, China, India, France, India, just to name a few. Almost everyone here is an immigrant. Everyone comes here for a reason, some to escape from their war-torn zones and some come here to seek a better future. The weather is good as it is summer now. The sun may be shining brightly, but you don't feel the heat as it is very much dissipated by the wind, which makes it such a pleasure to walk along the streets and parks. Jobs seem to be quite an issue as there are some barriers to cross before an immigrant can be accepted into the workforce.
