Flash in the Can & visiting Toronto

Can’t believe it’s already the 5th year. I still remember speaking at the first festival when there was a snow storm outside.

As a public service (but mostly for Guy “Watson’s Water“): It’s not cold anymore! The weather is great (warm & sunny today), but it’s always wise to check the latest Toronto weather before departing.

I’ll be at the festival, and as one of the panelists at the Flash Lite mobile panel on Saturday at 4:00pm.

Here are some links for visitors to Toronto:

• Visiting Toronto
• Tourism Toronto
• Underground city and paths
• Discover Ontario
• Niagara Falls (also visit Niagara-on-the-Lake on the way to the falls)

Or if you like nature and the great outdoors, check out the Muskoka lakes district, 2-3 hours drive north of the city.

And now, for something totally different: Uptown Chinese malls and restaurants for those who want to check out the latest imports and great food:

• Pacific Mall (latest imported GSM phones, games, gadgets, toys, fashion, food…etc.)
• First Markham Place (restaurants, shops, and it’s close to the IBM Toronto Software Lab where Ruby on Rails is used)

There are also lots of Chinese, Japanese and Asian restaurants and shops in Markham (north of the city) along Highway 7, from Bayview to Leslie, Woodbine, and Kennedy.

Looking forward to seeing many old friends and those whom I’ve only corresponded through email!
