If you are comming thru customs they are usually friendly, but there are
a few things that will cause some trouble. If you are carrying tapes,
they will be concerned that you are carying valuable data. Last time
around, the trick was to tell them that you had "NO DATA, CODE". They
seemed to regard software as OK, but DATA as important and valuable.
Someone asked about places to eat in Toronto. BY ALL MEANS DO NOT MISS
the local CHINA TOWN. It may surprise you, but Toronto has a very large
oriental community and as a result some of the best Chinese resturants
IN THE WORLD. It was rated the 3rd best city for such food, behind
Hong Kong and SanFran. (Peking surprisingly is far behind.) I don't know
how far it is from the conference hotel to the source of delectables,
but it is worth it. The resturants range from std tourist fare to the
real thing. Prices are not bad. Esp at the latter. There is also a
rather neat Chinese shopping mall (really, you've got to see to believe)
and all the gift shopes you could ask for. This is all within easy
walking rang of the U of T if you can find that.
