Can’t go to the Olympics? Toronto’s Koreatown offers authentic experience
The Winter Olympics get under way later this week in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
It’s a long, expensive trip to see the games in person, so most Canadians will be watching from afar.
But there are plenty of ways to experience Korean culture at home, including in Toronto’s Koreatown.
Located in the city’s west end, the community offers one of the most authentic comparisons to life in South Korea with its many restaurants, karaoke bars, taekwondo studios, hair and beauty salons and grocery stores.
