When I think of the toucan, I think of Froot Loops.
Remember the commercial where you "followed your nose?" to get to the Froot Loops?

That'll be good, then. I don't think any part of Canada is really dangerous during the day. Even the worst part of Toronto. Nothing like parts of New York and other US cities.
Yes, and this location is mostly suburban drive-through traffic.
New York scares me, but it's one of the few places in the world I'd be motivated to travel to visit. So many neat things there - museums and art galleries and the theatre. It must be amazing!
Yeah, I've always wanted to visit. I'll probably hate the noise and traffic and crowds, but, still, I'll go there one day. (
Kind of irritates me that all of my foreign relatives and many foreign friends have visited there and I haven't yet.)

I would be interested in that.
I visited the Cloisters when I was 15. For a while, I wanted to be a monk---despite the fact that I was a confirmed agnostic even then!
I still have a slight yearning to live in an Irish monastery on the sea. I enjoy contemplating waves as they do their dances over the rocks. In the 6th century or so, Irish monks used to sleep on stone slab-type things.

Truly, the only parts of NYC which are REALLY crowded are: 42nd Street between 6th and 8th Avenue. 34th Street between the same Avenues. The western part of Midtown during lunch hour. 5th Avenue around Christmastime.
You might feel crowded, at times, in the subway, especially between 7-9 AM and 4-7PM, and sometimes Friday and Saturday late nights.
I also wouldn't drive in Manhattan south of 96th Street if I haven't driven there before.

Oh, I have no desire to drive in strange cities.
I do enjoy the big ones with their public transport, though.
Chicago, SF, London, all easy-peasy to get around, but, yes, as you say, crowded on the trains. I'm not a huge fan, but, I power through it.

LOL....you really got the Brit in you...."Public Transport!" LOL
Methinks you're something of an Anglophile. I've been told that I am one myself.
Now...if you ask for a petrol station when you run out of gas near Cape Girardeau, then I know you have the contagion.

Guilty as charged. Everyone around us drives, no one talks about the busses and metro train, so, it's only natural I should pick that up from those who do.
I suppose I could be. Blame my husband.
Now THAT I won't be at risk of.

Cool. Unnecessary where I live though. At least at the moment (things are changing.)

I feel more vulnerable at home as I live in the basement of a no-security building. I got Henry, my pitbull. He makes me feel safer.
