White Christmas

CANADA | Wednesday, 22 Dec 2010 | Views [435] | Comments [3]

I've been living in Canada for 6 months now and I can't believe how the time has flown by. The year didn't get off to a great start and I faced some tough challenges but how quickly that all changes. Although I miss my friends and family immensely, ... Read more >


Movember

CANADA | Tuesday, 30 Nov 2010 | Views [537]

I've been waiting very patiently (well not really truth be told) for the white stuff to start falling and it finally has. On a cold Friday night I attended my first Ice Hockey game and upon leaving the arena found to my delight and those around me ... Read more >

One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.

CANADA | Monday, 1 Nov 2010 | Views [365]

It's been a month full of festivities and there's plenty more to come in the lead up to Christmas.  Thanksgiving in Canada is celebrated on the 2nd Monday in October. While the precise historical origin and belief of the holiday is disputed, most ... Read more >


The one that got away

CANADA | Friday, 1 Oct 2010 | Views [629]

Vancouver is located on the west coast of Canada & often referred to by locals as the 'wet coast'. Since moving here I've lost count of how many times I've been warned about the wet weather that comes at this time of the year. As one who enjoys ... Read more >


Summer time & the livin's easy

CANADA | Wednesday, 1 Sep 2010 | Views [581]

I never thought Canada could be so much fun in the summer time. I have always looked upon it as a place to escape to during Winter and that it couldn't offer up anything different from Australia during the warmer months. How wrong I was. Vancouver ... Read more >

Canada Day, Mt Baker & my new neighbour

CANADA | Friday, 23 Jul 2010 | Views [429]

I've past my first month in Canada now & the time is flying by. I really feel settled in now & starting to get familiar with the area. There is so much to do here in summer & the Canadians go nuts in the warmer weather. It's like they've ... Read more >


My first week in Van

CANADA | Thursday, 17 Jun 2010 | Views [667] | Comments [1]

I've been in Vancouver for 1 week now & I think I stepped off the plane running. The flight over was not too bad, I was so excited about coming to Canada, before I knew it I was in LA. LAX was so quiet it was almost eery. Somebody must have got ... Read more >

The journey begins

CANADA | Thursday, 10 Jun 2010 | Views [404] | Comments [2]

On Thursday morning June 10th, 2010, I said teary farewells to my loved ones & boarded a plane at Brisbane airport bound for Vancouver, Canada. Most of my possessions were either placed in storage, given away or brought with me. After an arduous ... Read more >
