The hotel we stayed at just served bread for breakfast.
I called Lyft to get to Vaughan Metropolitan Centre Station.

After leaving Casa Loma, we walked to Dupont Station.
By Subway Line 1, we reached Spadina Station.

I had thought that we could transfer to streetcars there. But, operation of streetcars was suspended.
We tried to board an alternative bus. But, we finally boarded Lyft, due to delayed alternative bus. We arrived at Blue Banana Market, which is the souvenir shop.

We boarded the alternative bus to south to go to another souvenir shop, which seems to be run by Chinese descendent.

Backside of the souvenir shop seems to be "China Town shopping mall". Formal name is Chinatown Centre(文華中心)

Crossing over the road in front of the souvenir shop, there is a souvenir shop whose sign includes Japanese letters

Then, we walked to a bridge, under which VIA, Go Transit, and UP Express are running. While I was taking some pictures, my family members were hanging out in the Well, which is the nearby shopping mall.
