If you're going to Brussels, the only hotel with smoking rooms available is the Grand Windsor Hotel (subject to hotel's availability, we can't guarantee that you can be assigned a smoking room). All other hotels have smoke-free policies, so smoking hotel rooms are not available. Be sure to ask at the hotel front desk or concierge desk about where you should go to smoke. If you want to request a Smoking hotel room in Brussels, contact the Registration Team at MozillaBrussels@shworldwide.com<mailto:MozillaBrussels@shworldwide.com>. | If you're going to Brussels, the only hotel with smoking rooms available is the Grand Windsor Hotel (subject to hotel's availability, we can't guarantee that you can be assigned a smoking room).

* Toronto - Thursday 10:00am - 8:00pm | |||
* Santa Clara - Thursday 10:00am - 8:00pm | |||
== Is there somewhere to hang out on Thursday? == | |||
Yes. | |||
* Brussels - each hotel will offer a "hospitality suite" for Mozillians waiting for their rooms. Site host will help you find those. | |||
* Toronto - Grand Foyer Lounge is open at 7:00am on Thursday (and for 24/day during the Summit - closes 8:00pm Sunday) | |||

== Do you have recommendations for wireless providers in each site? == | |||
According to our local community, it should be easy to get a prepaid SIM anywhere in town including the arrival hall in the Airport. | |||
Prepaid options include: | |||
* http://www.base.be/en/mobile/prepaid-cards and http://www.belgacom.be/en/private/products-and-services/proximus-telephony/generation-connect-mobile-internet-?page=t_generation_connect | |||

==How much money should I bring for meals and taxi? == | |||
Mozilla will provide meals beginning Thursday afternoon - Monday breakfast. As for taxi's, you won't need money for that unless you're not arriving on 3-October or leaving on 7-October (we'll provide shuttles both of those days.) Lots walkable in Toronto AND this city has one of the best transit systems in the country - so taxis unnecessary. TTC info: http://www.ttc.ca/ | |||
Brussels is a highly walkable city. All very condensed so taxis also not necessary. | |||
Santa Clara doesn't have too much around it other than an amusement park across the street (and a killer pool in the hotel!) If you are heading out of Santa Clara, you'll need to bring taxi fare OR connect with local Mozillians to carpool around. | |||
