We haven't done an awful lot of late, since the weather's been quite bad. It's improving now, but wandering around in the rain isn't exactly high on my to-do list

I remarked to Krista that only in Australia could there be a German-Australian and an Estonian standing around watching Bulgarian folk dance and eating Greek and Eritrean (yes, I said "Eritrean") food.
Nah, not just Australian, seems like a perfectly normal Canadian thing to me ;P
I haven't been to a festival like that recently, but I hope something will come up soon that I can go to with my boyfriend. For now we content ourselves with just the food parts, so we've got a Latvian-Canadian and a Chinese-Canadian often eating Italian for lunch and Thai for dinner ;)
I also work at an Italian pastry shop/cafe, where only the owners are Italian, with there being more Chinese staff members than any other ethnicity (second place would be Mexican or Bosnian). When I applied for the job, I was worried about there being Italian language requirements, especially considering the shop is in Little Italy (which, incidentally, intersects with Chinatown a few blocks up from my workplace), but thankfully there weren't.
What kind of smartphone do you have? I got one in August when I moved back to Ottawa and I absolutely love it. Having the world at my fingertips is awesome.
I love the idea of Little Italy intersecting with Chinatown! Just makes my brain happy.
I have a Nokia E5 (or "E5-00" as the manual says), which is still rather daunting in some ways, but makes sense usually. Since I predominantly use the mapping function, the OviMaps work very well indeed because they're downloaded to the phone via my desktop and I can tell the phone not to use an internet connection on maps if I'm in another country. Means I have to remember to load up the phone with maps of whichever country I'm going to when I next go overseas, but that's just part of the planning, like calling the bank and getting visas.
To quote David the QA guy from Yorkshire, "I'm all in favour of immigration if they treat it the same way as a barbecue - ladies, please bring a plate".
