NO VISAS to Canada for Poles in the near future

z_darius:

As for the pollution, sorry to mention Toronto again, but I look in its direction every day coming from work, driving down from the top of the hill close to Vineland Estate Wineries. More often than not the city is covered in haze, aka smog, so I can't see any of the city's tall stuff.

miranda: stop bashing Toronto. Don't kill the messenger ;) miranda: Hamilton is very polluted, so I am not sure it is the best tourist attraction. It's good just for a drive by.

It's got to do with the Escarpment and how it plays out on the grand scheme of (climactic) things.

z_darius: Don't kill the messenger ;) I am not. Support your argument and I will get off your case. z_darius: As for the pollution, sorry to mention Toronto again, but I look in its direction every day coming from work, driving down from the top of the hill close to Vineland Estate Wineries.

Besides Toronto has many interesting places too see which are not in any guide books. Little pockets of really interesting things for every tourist. AGO has just been reopened.

z_darius: If you travel by private plane you can see quite a bit in two or three weeks ;) Thanks for the information about Niagara Falls and the surroundings. So I see I have lots of time (before the summer) to plan an eventual trip. I'm still not sure why I should go to Canada, but I've never left Europe, so this sounds really tempting and ... exotic :) Do you have any idea what the prices are for hiring a private plane with a pilot (just an estimate, I don't need exact figures) and how many tourists can travel by such planes? I have no idea if I could afford such thing without spending too much of my savings ...

miranda: I am not. Support your argument and I will get off your case. Too much to write. I still hoped until last year, when I vowed - never again will I visit that... ahem... place, except to go to the airport. Listen to CBC Radio 1. You'll see what I mean. miranda: how can you explain the fact that I can see the city lights all the way to Buffallo???? I'll try. You're on LSD? Or on a plane? or on top of CN Tower? Or you are sever hundred meters tall? Otherwise you can't see downtown Buffalo (the only area with buildings tall enough to bee seen from afar) lights when standing in any spot in downtown Toronto. The distance of 100km of straight line of sight will place Buffalo below the line of horizon. Heck, you can't see Buffalo from St. Catharines, ON or even Lewiston, NY. I'm pretty sure you can't see it from any of the Grand Island bridges. miranda: Besides Toronto has many interesting places too see which are not in any guide books. Little pockets of really interesting things for every tourist. Sounds like my backyard. miranda: AGO has just been reopened. I finished a cute little shed in the backyard. Just last week :) Krzysztof: Do you have any idea what the prices are for hiring a private plane with a pilot (just an estimate, I don't need exact figures) and how many tourists can travel by such planes? I only know what it costs for aerial photography. 8 hours costs $1200.
