Regina is a nice quiet little place in the middle of a huge grassy field (this grassy field extends as far as the eye can see in pretty much every direction). I knew nothing about the place, except that it was a good half-way-ish stop between Calgary ... Read more >

Talk about a brief visit - I stopped in Calgary for a total of around 4 hours on a Friday night. I'm not sure that I missed much. Big city, lots of people, a little sensationalism. I'm not sure whether the locals always wear cowboy boots and hats ... Read more >

I arrived in Banff about an hour and a half later than expected, with no certainty that I would have accomodation for the night. It's a little thrill, but when you're carrying your backpack up the hill to the hostel you really start to panic a little.... Read more >

Edmonton is kind of cool - but the West Edmonton Mall is awesome. Where else can you take a short walk from an ice hockey game to see a Sea Lion show? And don't forget to visit the petting zoo, mini golf, Chinatown, sealife displays, wave pool, cinemas, ... Read more >

My plan to stop here was simply so I could say I've been here - the tourist guides for this area all look so pretty, and I'm guessing the town is not too bad. Then you meet travellers on the way who talk about how horrid the place is. You can't hear ... Read more >

I left my lovely room near Central Park feeling a little sad - I've been here eight months and it has all come to an end! This is the point where I made my first mistake - I didn't check the times that the Skytrain commenced service on Sunday mornings.... Read more >

Feeling that urge to hop from one side of something to the other? For example, "now I'm in the tropics, and now I'm not", or perhaps "I'm a little teapot, and now I'm not"? I went to the United States for the day, just over the ... Read more >

Ever get that feeling you're on a movie set, but you can't see the cameras? Whistler Village feels like one of those places where everything is so pretty, neat and new that it feels artificial. I got a little hesitant walking into a shop - just in ... Read more >

I asked a Canadian bloke what Victoria Day was all about, and he said "It's like the US Memorial Day, but a week earlier". So, that was a little unhelpful. When in doubt, refer to Google. Which will no doubt take you to Wikipedia. And it all ... Read more >
