one answer (of many): the amount of wear the clothes have
Thats an interesting point. Maybe thats why I like smaller wardrobes (although i like larger wardrobes too). Maybe my eye likes the additional effect that wear has on clothing. If this is the case then its crazy how much information my aesthetic brain can take in at a glance.

Good with pretty much anything - can be cm related (aside from like Harry Rosen as I don't imagine their offerings to be significantly different from Montreal's), or streetwear.

In terms of food, no restrictions, and willing to try anything interesting.

Chinese in North Toronto, though Chinatown (So, essentially Yonge St.) will do in a pinch. Dim sum at least every second day!

Toronto Chinatown has, by far, the best Chinese food on this side of the planet
It's definitely good, but imo, the really good places are not in North Toronto, where the more affluent Chinese settled, predominantly, both in anticipation of the repatriation of Hong Kong, and then the later Chinese getting a foothold so that their kids can get into a better university in Canada then would be open to them in China, where competition is more fierce. You can go to any number of strip malls and get really great Chinese food. In some cases, world class Chinese food. Everyone will have their favorites, and swear by them,. but the truth is that most places will be good.

In terms of shopping, it's been a few years, but Uncle Otis (www.uncleotis.com) is run by my boy Donnell Enns, who is a good du (trying out @jet speak). It's located in Yorkville, so you can also get yourself some Russian furs, or some Attolini, or whatever. Oh, and Neighbour opened up a boutique there (www.shopneighbour.com)

Makes sense. How do the ultra rich Chinese areas of Vancouver and Seattle compare?

Vancouver yes. Seattle, less so. There is an ongoing debate as to whether Vancouver or Toronto has better Chinese food. I honestly don't know, They are both pretty darn good. One of my brothers teaches at UBC, and another is a doctor dude in Toronto, (and I'm from Kingston) so I've eaten at plenty of restaurants in both cities. I think that probably Toronto still has more variety, but Vancouver is right up there. Just make sure to wear your comfy pants. RFT: I really want to buy a pair of longer (so, regular length) black or indigo gi pants and just wear them all summer.

hopefully this isn't sacrilegious to talk about on here, but since when do you need a PayPal merchant account to sell on grailed? is there any downside to doing this or is it just a matter of filling out the forms?
