UGH! I don't know what happened with my last photo. I checked the resolution of the photo on my phone when I took it to make sure you could read the English on that blue sticker, AND that you could use that to find the location, and all was well. Clearly I need to check the uploaded version too. Sorry! :S

So all that said, how did you find it then Robbo? I half expected Evon to have taken it before nightfall. :) Also, you didn't happen to be parked on Bayview somewhere around 6pm last night did you? I noticed a vintage red but I was moving too fast to get a good look.

If you upload via tapatalk, the images are compressed to fit. Using a 3rd party image uploader will circumvent that (imgur, photobucket, etc).
He did say he was lucky hahahaha

Well first of all, it wasn't me on Bayview last night. How ironic would that have been...close by the tag and not knowing it lol !!!

I really had to stretch my sleuthing skills to figure out the location of your tag.

First I tried Google Image Search to no avail.

Then, I considered you might have been hungry so I googled all variations of Chinese restaurants in Markham, Scarborough, GTA east.

No luck.

I could make out the words China-Canada-U.S. in the logo and the three doves. I searched all variations of this with community centre, trade centre, park, gardens, museum, alliance, association.

Struck out there too.

I went back to the photo and took measurements of shadows and angle of your bike, time of day and plugged the data into a multi-line mathematical equation...but like Joe Bass, I couldn't print out the result .

Desperate for an answer, and getting hungry myself from all the searching, I had a eureka moment and decided to head over to my local Chinese take-out, order food and humbly beg for a translation.

That fell through when I got there and realized I had forgotten my wallet at home.

I popped into the local Benjamin Moore paint store while heading back home to look at some soothing colour samples. With nothing to lose, I pulled up the photo and asked if they could match the bright colour of the wall, and if possible, what would they call it...to which the paint specialist replied:

Of course sir, that's "Cham Shan Temple Yellow".


Okay okay I might have deviated a little from the story. I would never forget my wallet when going to pick up Chinese food.
 
Brilliant @Robbo! ? and not just because of the mention!
