This video is actually pretty old now. Shot on a Flip UltraHD the footage was sitting on my Hard Drive all this time. But I finally decided to throw it together and upload it. Nothing special just the footage as it was on the camera. But I thought some of you might like to see this.

This is China Town in Toronto, Ontario Canada and the CN Tower. The CN Tower was built in the late 1970's and was the tallest free standing structure in the world for 34 years until just recently when some building in Dubai topped it. Apparently there is some argument as they still claim it's the tallest "free standing tower" I suppose the one in Dubai is built more like a building than a tower? Oh well it's still one of the tallest towers in the world if it's not the tallest. It's pretty cool but you got to wait an hour or more in a lineup before you can even get to the elevator to go up! The glass floor was added in the mid 90's IIRC it wasn't there the last time I was here. It's kinda freaky to be honest. Something in my brain was like no, don't walk over that "edge" when you look down. But I did walk over the glass eventually!

China Town itself was really cool. Lots of neat little shops and restaurants. Some unique little dives with great eats if you like Asian food ;) I loved it myself and would definitely go back!
