Toronto, Canada.

Advantages - The place where I live in Toronto is near everything!

    Mall
    Grocery stores
    Temple
    Park
    Library
    High school and university
    Swimming pool
  • Other attractions (Wonderland, CN tower, Niagara Falls…etc etc)

Another advantage would be, because Toronto has a large Indian community, Indian festivals are celebrated here, for example Holi is celebrated at the temple.

Another advantage – Because Toronto is largely populated the fire services I've noticed do a REALLY good job of going to all the places that they've been called to do, quickly.

Disadvantages –

Houses in Toronto, are EXPENSIVE (come to think about it, rents in aparments are expensive, too). I know because, my family is looking for one, and houses which were already built in Toronto, and are being sold, and expensive, and even there are NEW ONES being build IN TORNTO .. they're expensive, too. And that's because, Toronto is already a developed city.

Well Toronto is in Canada, so to some people the weather would be a disadvantage. As for me, I like the snow but to a certain limit…so I usually don't mind the weather.

Im sure there are lots more... but that's all I have now..and plus..there are a lot of members from Toronto here..hehe..so im giving them a chance to write something, too. 😛

Nice, topic!!! 😃

Pros

  • The financial capital of India, thus offers me ample scope, being related to finance stream/commerce stream
  • Comparitively safe city
  • Care free city
  • Love the BEST buses anmd locals(cause they're very efficient as compared to the no. of commuters they carry)
  • Great shopping and food joints.
  • Ample courses for commerce students.

Cons

  • Too crowded
  • Always in a hurry
  • Poiluted
  • Stinking and dirty city
  • poor infrastructure apart from BEST buses and locals
  • lack of public toilets
