    Never been, but planning on making a flying visit with the possability of a perminant move. So I want to see and do everything in a week. Both touristy things, and more perminant persons activitys too. :)

    All suggestions appreciated, links too if possible :o

    Thanks.

    Just saw this now, sorry if it's too late.

    Go to the CN Tower (on a clear day). Maybe check out a baseball game. I regret I didn't when I was there. Niagara isn't very far away. If you want THE BEST deal, here it is:

    There's a place on Dundas and Spadina, in Chinatown (if this way of talking about a location seems strange don't worry, you'll understand when you get there.) It's only $25 but they give you $20 in chips for the Fallsview Casino which you can cash in straight away if you want (but you won't!).

    Look out for Zanta The Man. He's the crazy guy in the Santa hat either doing pushups or flexing his muscles. Normally he hangs around Dundas Square. Commander Raul is there sometimes as well. He's a serious nut job.

    If you're gagging for an Irish pub, there's a good one called McVeigh's on Church and Adelaide (I think). They have great music on Sunday nights.

    DO NOT go near the Harbourfront Centre, it's a hell hole tourist trap. I worked there for a while. (Tell Roger to go f**k himself would you?).

    Definitely go to Canada's Wonderland (you can get there by bus+subway), it's great craic. Make sure you hit The Minebuster.

    Make sure you have a good laugh at the Canadian homies who copy what they see on American TV.

    Whatever you do, don't leave without getting hammered on either "Maximum Ice" or "Colt 45"!

    Toronto wouldn't be a bad place at all to live I reckon.
