Well I'm here now, finally, and delighted by the friendly natives and
great weather.

They all sound good. I've no strong preference (though I've not had
Viet-Namese in years so that might be fun).
Here's my plan for this evening: I'll head out about 16:30 to the Royal
Oak to register and have a well earned (post-traumatic flight) pint or two.
If anyone from Ottawa.pm comes along that would be great! We can sort out
food and pub crawling then. (If I don't make contact with anyone from
Ottawa.pm by say 8pm I'll consider myself open for other arrangements.)
You can contact me by mentioning @timbunce on twitter or replying to
this thread. I'll check my emails from time to time.
Tim.
