My first time in Canada. I planned a series of stages where I want to see some 'beautiful realities of fundraising and then see a conference internazinale. Start from Toronto, on Monday began one of the most important conferences on fundraising, the AFP of Canada, nearly 800 delegates and dozens and dozens of reports. I started today (Saturday) for reasons of business, by plane to Frankfurt (see the photo of the Alps from the plane) and then straight up in Toronto, huge city with over 5 million inhabitants, dozing happy and calm area.

Stands the TV tower ( see photo ) which resembles in some respects to the tower of the German television, I go there tomorrow. A Christmas tree outside the town hall, in the more 'largest shopping mall in Canada, is simply beautiful ( see photo ) and then even more 'peaceful citizens of the ride up for free use of the ice. I say that those who do not skate in Canada is like an Italian who does not play football.

A city caught between modernity and the American consciousness to be different for style and economy (32 million Canadians are in a territory that is more 'big U.S. famo the G7, but only because the second hano reserves in the world oil, after Saudi) In short, a city within a city, a positive climate, modermo as a great modern city "grattacielata", while they breathe a certain serenity and stress New York. I stand with my map to look for places that interest me and after a few seconds to see a group of boys and girls stopped me and said "you need to find something? of us who let us explain. " It does not happen in France, even in Great Britain, Italy? less than ever .... But I'm sick .... are not objective ... when I go to the 'Atlantic makes me always has a certain ... I wonder why the New World makes me so!.
