My round trip flight from Toronto to Singapore had a transit in San Francisco. On the way to Singapore I had no issues going through security and even had some time to spend in the United Lounge . The United Lounge has good white wine . Only one type but decent. Food is blah but that is typical of most airport lounges . On my way back from Singapore I had the most horrible experience of any airport I have…
North Of Brooklyn Pizzeria I had a chance to visit North Of Brooklyn Pizzeria this week . Based on the decor and setup I had high hopes for the Pizza and it turned out to be a disappointment. If you are going there for Pizza – skip it . It is nothing special. The decor and vibe is good if you are looking for a night out drinking ! I am still looking for a good pizza spot in Toronto!
I have family living in upstate New York . Specifically Corning, New York . We decided to visit them one weekend from Toronto. I was blown away by how picturesque and well maintained the town is ! The buildings are old and well maintained, the surrounding areas are hillsides with trees, there are many good food options and incredible hiking trails ! My family also made incredible meals for us – sourcing from the best places they have identified! We…
Until I had to visit Panama I didn’t realize the city had so many things to do ! My recommendations: 1. Visit Casco Viejo – This was my favourite place in the city ! This is where the city of Panama was located prior to its current location. The area consist of buildings close together with narrow streets . Very similar to Gothic Quarter in Barcelona . The architecture is similar to the buildings in New Orleans. It is full…
I live in Canada and have never been to Algonquin Park! Decided this fall I am going to drop by to see the leaves changing colour . I have read the best time to see the colours is late September and early October. The trees at the park change colour a bit earlier since the park is at a higher elevation. This weekend should be a great time to visit . Check out this site to figure out the best…
Three questions great leaders ask : 1. Where are you looking to anticipate change ? 2. What is the diversity measure of your network? 3. Are you Courageous enough to abandon the past ?
I visited the Panama Canal at the Miraflores locks when it opened at 8 am on a Sunday. I was there by 8.30 am and was really sad to discover I just missed 3 ships that passed through the locks. The next ship set to pass through was at 1 pm . I had other places to visit so I looked around , visited the interactive museum and watched a movie about the canal before leaving. MUST DO : Call…
Yesterday my commodity shares had a jump . Both Lithium and copper . I am going to be holding these positions to analyze if this trend will continue. Facebook is being recommended by multiple analysts on BNN just given the number of daily users , the value of advertising on its platform and having Instagram for younger users . Today they received some negative news . Instagram founders quit FB . Their shares are expected to take a beating today….
I had a chance to be in Panama City recently and I wanted to visit a beachside resort while there . A beachside resort with strong wifi . My wifi requirement ruled out traditionally famous places for good beaches in Panama like Pear Islands and San Blas Islands ! I am not much for rustic accommodations. I ended up at the hotel in Buenaventura. Buenaventura is an exclusive gated beachside community in Panama. About two hour drive from Panama City…
Looks like the oversea markets did well today. I am currently a hold on most of my positions. I will have to wait out the month of September which is not fun . September historically has been a losing month for the markets . Based on the recent performance of my holdings I been thinking about changing my approach to short term investment. I have historically invested in distressed stocks or stocks on pull back . From October I am…
