Commute to @RSDSymposium for @snousala @jpovaska from east side has been 25 minutes west over Don River bridge early in day, then back with headlights in the dark later. Warm and sunny weather on first and last day makes seeing the city near sidewalk scale enjoyable. The terrain had been mostly flat. (Laneway between Booth Avenue and Logan Avenue, south of Queen Street East, Riverside neighbourhood. Toronto, Ontario) 20161015 - Maharishi University

Inside the Venetian Hotel, singing after dish, but outside, sun doesn't set for another 2.5 hours. American tourists prefer canals that don't stink, in Las Vegas - Alice and Friends
Saved room for vegan chocolate mousse pie, raw key lime cheesecake, mint chocolate soy ice cream. Splurged on satay skewers and dumplings, before main dishes pan-Asian.

From Frank Whittle at south to Alan Turing at north, buildings connected to encourage random interactions between researchers walking and thinking. Design of campus with buildings below 4 stores an antithesis of skyscraper thinking. Statue of Turing on plaza a little further north may be overearnest recognition, as he was never part of this university, and would only come home to Guildford on weekends while a teenager at boarding school. (University of Surrey, Stag Hill campus, Guildford, UK) 20150707 - Yorkville Park
Strolling south on Bellair Avenue, the urban park is lit up by green mist-emitting light columns between rows of trees. We usually don't frequent this high-end neighbourhood. Unusually, we went for a movie on a Saturday night, with a one-week promotion of Tuesday night pricing. (Yorkville Park, Bellair Avenue, Toronto, Ontario) 20170826 - Young Centre
Play reading of @NormanYeung Theory @Soulpepper Tiger-Bamboo Festival @YoungCentre RBC Studio. Storyline carried mostly by words, with actors rising from chairs and raising reading stands. Story of university lecturer using social media outside of academic institution hits close to home, but I don't teach film studies. (Young Centre for the Performing Arts, Tank House Lane, Distillery District, Toronto, Ontario) 20160528 - Chinese Visa Center

Dong Zou Ma Tang River flowing east, parallel to the north section of the Inner Ring Elevated Road. Few pedestrians in the suburban area, yet looking into the water reveals well-kept gardens. Shanghai neighbourhoods are walled, so it's not easy to access a continuing path beside the flowing water. (Dong Zou Ma Tang River, Siping Road at Zhongshan Road, Shanghai, PR China) 20171125
