Toronto Festivals & Events for Next Week (Oct 13 - Oct 19)
Guess where this is! We are currently on a trip to Hong Kong, the most hustling and bustling city ever. I feel like this is more lively than New York City, I love it a lot - the food, the nice malls, and the view but I really miss the coffee from Toronto 🤪
Please let me know if there’s anywhere we must go in Hong Kong, we are leaving after next week :D
Anyway, checkout what you can do next Monday (10/13) to Sunday (10/19) below! Hope you have a great weekend❣️ Missed out? Catch up with our previous newsletter here.
