Hi all,
my first visit (for 5 days) during the winter to TO will be in early nov.
queries are -
1. will it be adequate for a desi gulfi to wear an inner vest (like Rupa's 
) + a woolen sweater and a jacket (columbia lined jacket)?
2. in respect of boots, i have salomon hiking boots (with goretex), will those be ok)?
3. any suggestion for a safe and decent hotel (not a hilton, but not a room by the hour kind either) around don mills and sheppard,close to a place where i can find veggie food (preferably indian).
rgds,
newboyo

Most probably, yes, depending on your tolerance level.
This is not quite the North Pole, you know

Mornings and evenings will be cold.
There will be overnight frost, and some flurries mid-to-late Nov.
One thing you will need is a good, warm "toupee".
You can easily buy one here.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
Dont forget gloves, in Muscat we bought gloves from Sana, for
something like RO1/per pair. Those are very usefull and costs much
more here. If you are yet to buy the Jacket, look for the ones with
hood. We missed buying a leather jacket at LULU for RO 22 or something
like that. Here the same thing cost $100 plus.
Hope this helps,
Tom
