My academic team is, for now, considering going to a tournament in Toronto, Canada.
Any dopers live near there or in there or go (or have gone, or whatever) to some form of higher education there? Want to share tricks for traffic, the best place to eat for ten bucks, where to stay (hotels) . . . that sort of thing?
Any help you can give me on this is much appreciated.
Toronto is a fabulous city, it’s safe, it’s clean, it’s advantagous currency wise.
You will have a wonderful time, I can promise you that.
I was raised there, went to high school there, but now live elsewhere. So I’ll let someone else tell you the cool spots. My favorite was the ROM, Royal Ontario Museum. Don’t miss it.
What time of the year will you likely be going?
BTW and FWIW, the tourny is scheduled for Oct 21.
wowsers!
i am in toronto.
you can stay with me, iampunha. we can share my bed.
and i do mean share, if you know what i mean.
where will the tournament be? this will influence the tips i give.
Kilgore . . . how to put this gently . . . I prefer people without external plumbing. I have never in my life, that I can remember, shared a bed with anyone male who was not my brother or my father. Even then it was not by choice.
As for where specifically the tournament is . . . I don’t know the name of the college/university, but it’s the MacKenzie Bowl, if that means anything to you. I wasn’t under the impression that Toronto had more than one university.
no they can’t hear you. this board doesn’t have sound technology yet. they might be able to read your post and identify with your current location situation though. post again and ask, toronto can you please read this thread and let me know if you are in a similar situation as i.
Okay . . . how about this:
“Toronto residents: can you throw me a bone here? Or type some stuff I might find useful?”
that works, but there is a severe shortage of e-bones to be thrown. and most of the ones that are available are either owned by the kennedy’s or they are not thermally equipped to survive in the barren wasteland of toronto. So, unless you are a kennedy, try again.
I have several e-bones:
E. . . . . . . . .E
. EEEEEEEE
E. . . . . . . . .E
E. . . . . . . . .E
. EEEEEEEE
E. . . . . . . . .E
E. . . . . . . . .E
. EEEEEEEE
E. . . . . . . . .E
Pick one
That’s not an e-bone you canadian. that’s a section of an e-dna strand. i personally would rather have the dna strand, but that won’t help you in your desperate situation.
toronto has a few universities… and u of t has many campuses. campi?
well, if you find anything out, let me know.
i know this city relatively well.
steeljaw, what gave you the impression that I’m Canadian? And how in the world could it be e-DNA? They are my e-bones! I just pried them from my E-dog’s mouth!
You say Canadian like that’s a BAD thing!
and sure… we don’t have to share a bed.
but you have to bare that chest for me.
Dude, enough, please. It’s not funny. I really, truly don’t want to take this to the Pit.
In other news, I emailed the secretary of my academic team, who will hopefully provide me with more detailed specs on the tournament.
take it to the pit?
haha. that is ridiculous. sorry. i don’t take this cyber-attacking very seriously.
relax. have some lemonade.
You don’t take it seriously. Okay, but I do. So please stop.
And I hope you do take this seriously. I’m not joking.
hey, if that’s the way it’s gotta be, then so be it.
i’ll miss you.
Actually, it’s fuckin’ hilarious. Pipe down before I make you my E-Bitch.
Oh yeah, and as for Toronto, it’s a great city. Of course you’ll want to go to the CN tower and eat a burger at the Hard Rock while watching a game. Toronto’s not too shabby when it comes to clubs, either. I specifically recall a few good ones within walking distance from the Sheraton Centre; That’s where I stayed when I visited in 98. If you’re a toker, toke up, but be discrete, it’s not legal, but it’s there…in the open…in the right places. Hmm, what else? There’s great food to be had, but I can’t reccomend anything for $10, excepts Kilgore’s delicious Stuffed French Toast (Don’t ask what it’s stuffed with.)
Have fun!
