good afternoon guys we are here with
another episode of Toronto as a local
and today I'm doing a video request that
you guys sent where you really wanted to
see the University of Toronto here in
the downtown center and that is exactly
a large part of what we are going to be
doing today but since we are also near
the district that is called the annex
and it's kind of like the stomping
grounds of the university kids we're
also going to be going there as well as
a Koreatown which is a really cool
district just on the edge of the annex
so to start things off we are downtown
we are here at the U of T which is
probably one of the most famous
universities in Canada Toronto being
such a you know at the center of Canada
sort of city there's actually quite a
few different parts of the campus it's
not all in one area because we are
downtown a lot of the buildings are kind
of spread over a fairly large area and
what's really beautiful about this
university is that it is a lot of
Heritage sort of buildings this
university was established in 1827 so it
has been here a really long time so if
you are thinking of coming to Canada to
study for university this probably
should be one of the places for you to
consider
so here we are on the UT
sports field I have heard that they have
really great sports scholarships for
those that are athletically gifted and
they actually have like a huge I think
it's a football field just off of floor
street where they have like a lot of
university games this where I am I think
is just for like soccer lacrosse maybe
stuff like that and it looks like their
teams are sponsored by Under Armour so
that's nice
so for any of you wondering just how
much it costs to go to university here
in Canada of course is going to slightly
range on the school and the field of
study that you go into but on average if
you are a Canadian citizen it's going to
be around $7,000 a year and I think
that's actually without textbooks or you
know like living expenses obviously and
if you're an international student
that's when it gets really expensive
really fast where I believe it starts at
like 25,000 dollars going all the way up
to like 35 and depending on what you're
studying I'm actually not sure if it
works that way in all countries or just
in Canada or North America where schools
are so expensive for international
students let me actually know in the
comments down below if you guys know
so this building right behind me Hart
house is a place that I've actually
spent quite a bit of time in this is the
theater acting section of the university
I actually came here quite a few times
when I was auditioning for student films
or sometimes production companies would
rent out a room for their auditions here
and it really is such a beautiful
historic building
so here we are coming up to a map of the
University and as you guys can see it is
absolutely huge we are here and we
started at College Street so we've kind
of weaved through this little part but
there really is so many other sections
but where I think I want to take you
guys is actually through this part here
this is the football field I was telling
you about
this is Bloor Street and to get to the
annex we are going out this way
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
just behind me there as you guys can see
is the ROM we are currently on lower
street and this section of the road
going west is still a place where there
are a lot of buildings from the
University just behind me here is
actually the Conservatory of Music which
I believe is the best place in Canada if
you want to study professional you know
classical music who more so probably and
then there's also the Telus Center for
Performing Arts and learning that's
actually a really good place to go if
you want to watch incredible concerts by
the students here at the University
there almost professionals and a lot of
times the concerts are free and then
just beside it as well is that field
that I was telling you guys about which
is usually a football field but I think
they have some kind of indoor thing
going on in that bubble but yeah this is
really just a continuation of the
university lots of different faculties
lots of different resources
so here we are we just passed the corner
of the lower and Spadina if you were to
go sell see you would hit Chinatown in
Kensington Market as I shut in the first
video of this series but if you keep
going west like me are this is really
getting into the heart of the annex and
as I said before this really is a
continuation of the University of
Toronto because there's a lot of
students that live in this area it's a
very young eccentric sort of community
[Applause]
stuff like this is really hard to find
anywhere else in Canada I find maybe
maybe Vancouver but this kind of like
curry rice sort of dishes and really
stuff that I've only seen actually in
Japan or other Asian countries so that's
really a benefit of living in Toronto
where you get so many different
authentic restaurants another really
fantastic Toronto establishment is
Burger priest they have quite a few
locations all over Toronto this is a lot
of people's favorite burger joint and
they've been in Toronto for a really
long time so if you're looking for a
great burger burger Priest is awesome
[Applause]
so here we are at the intersection of
Bathurst and Fleur so we're now
officially entering Korea's Hound and as
I mentioned earlier I absolutely love
this neighborhood because there are so
many great restaurants in this area with
food that you definitely wouldn't find
this punch in other parts of Canada
[Applause]
so this place right here is my absolute
favorite Korean restaurant I have been
coming here for probably over five years
and I always bring all my friends who
have never had Korean food to this place
because they do things so well they're
big buffs and Jeff Chow are the best
that I have ever had and the prices are
so low like you can get a huge mein for
$10 and it's really cool because they
bring you all these little sides of like
kimchi and pickled beans and all that
kind of stuff and it is so if you are in
Koreatown and are looking for the best
Korean food this place definitely gets
my vote
now coming up here across the street is
the most popular Korean Asian kind of
general store there is a lineup as you
guys can see but I promise you it is
worth it they have so many good products
so I'll actually wait in line and we'll
take a look together
[Music]
[Applause]
so that is it guys we have made it to
the end of this journey I am here in
Christie Pitts Park I'm probably gonna
just chill out here for half an hour or
something drink my green tea and my
little I don't even know what you call
them the Korean cookie balls with red
bean paste and walnuts they are
delicious but I hope you guys enjoyed
this video and got some insight into the
U of T area annex Koreatown these are
areas that I don't think a lot of
tourists come to see in Toronto so if
you happen to be in Toronto who would
really recommend it so I hope you guys
enjoyed this video and I'd love to know
what you thought in the comments down
below but other than that I hope you
guys are having a great start to the
summer thank you for tuning in and
keeping your own kind of beautiful bye
guys
