A little packed...

Banquet (1)

Banquet conducted by the society. The speech was not long, but the conferral of award was too long. 20 people received each award.

Banquet (2)

Suddenly, disk jockey appeared and mirror ball started rotating. It's surprising! But there were less than ten people dancing.

Holiday Inn Express Downtown Toronto

$140-$160 per room per night. Expensive!

Room

Wireless run is available, but the connection is often cut off.

Scenery from the window

Elevator

If you don't find a button left of the elevator, you may think it's only a dent. In addition, you cannot know which elevator comes first until the door open.

No train were seen by strike!

Subway

Platform and train interior were clean, and it seemed safe. You can take subway, streetcar and bus for $2.75. Probably this fare increased recently, since my guidebook said $2.5.
