Hello!

Missed it this week?  Here's your chance to reread the top content from Matador's Newsletter as selected by our readers.  Topping the list this week, Kyoto, citing misbehavior by tourists, has banned taking photos of geishas.

It's also clear that many of you are planning trips soon.  Our content on Costa Rica and Bosnia did really well and proves once again that Matador readers love going off the beaten path.

Finally, you've gotta eat, right?  Even when you're abroad, food will play a major role in keeping you up and running, so there's no shame in stopping for a quick burger.  But be careful when eating out in Japan; tipping is a no-no.

So, if you missed any of that, we invite you to check it out below!

Travelers to Kyoto who were hoping to make their Insta feed pop with photos of geisha are now out of luck. After an influx of complaints about harassment and bad behavior from tourists, Kyoto has banned photography in the private alleys of the city's historic Gion district. Violating the ban will earn you a fine of up of about $90.

The Ultimate Guide to Toronto

The "6ix" or "Turonno" is a city that thrives to make everyone feel at home. The multiculturalism of Ontario's capital means that any person, visiting or local, whatever their interest or taste, can find their community within the city. Toronto has many ethnic neighborhoods, from Chinatown to Little Portugal, loads of art galleries and museums, intercity parks, street festivals, wild nightlife, and cozy patios. There are even islands out on Lake Ontario, easily accessible by ferry, that make room for those who like to enjoy the outdoors in their birthday suit. This guide will help you find out where you can have the best fun during your time in the 6ix.
