Ciudad de Meh-hi-co

MEXICO | Wednesday, 12 Mar 2008 | Views [1025]

Hurray! I'm not dead. Aren't you lucky? The 'dangers' of Mexico, I'm pleased to report, are all hype (provided you are careful with taxis and have some common sense [oh no. I'm screwed!]). The biggest problem here is that virtually nobody speaks English.... Read more >

Day trip to Seattle

CANADA | Monday, 10 Mar 2008 | Views [707]

Friday was the day of Seattle. This meant getting up at 5:30 in the morning to catch the freaking bus at 6:15. Not pretty, considering that I didn’t get to bed until around 2am. Stupid friends and keeping me up late. Thankfully I managed to sleep ... Read more >

Victoria and Vancouver

CANADA | Saturday, 8 Mar 2008 | Views [1269] | Comments [6]

Okay, so when the alarm went off I was NOT a happy camper. Stupid guy, talking to me and keeping me up. We went through the arduous process of getting to Victoria. Victoria is the capital of British Columbia, found on Vancouver Island. It took an hour ... Read more >

Capilano Suspension Bridge and Vancouver

CANADA | Saturday, 8 Mar 2008 | Views [1353] | Comments [1]

Wow, what an amazing few days! I have been absolutely flat out and haven’t really had time to update. It makes a difference having somebody else to share time with – unfortunately for you (and perhaps my future memories) at nights I have been socialising ... Read more >

Canada's capital

CANADA | Sunday, 17 Feb 2008 | Views [578]

Hiya folks. I've been a bit busy (and had pretty much no access to the internet), so I haven't updated in a little while. Well, it's not even a week, but it feels like a while. I've gotta get used to not having the net, I can't imagine having unlimited ... Read more >

Toronto and Niagara Falls

CANADA | Monday, 11 Feb 2008 | Views [732] | Comments [1]

I've spent a few days in Toronto, and have nothing to really report on it. I am a boring shit! I have been mostly working, so except for a couple of walks, I haven't really done much. Toronto has a kind of a Melbourne feel to it, I guess you could say ... Read more >

Viva Las Biodome!

CANADA | Saturday, 9 Feb 2008 | Views [1128]

Viva Las Biodome!! Ah, good times. If you don't understand, I don't want to be your friend anymore. Or, seems as only 2 people I know will only get it, think C-grade films. Not just any C-grade film. A PAULY SHORE C-grade film. Oh yeah baby. Bidome.... Read more >

Montreal walking tour

CANADA | Monday, 4 Feb 2008 | Views [763] | Comments [4]

Bonjour! I am sitting at my hostel in Montreal, which classes itself as an 'Alternative Backpackers', and it has an understated funk to it. The walls are all painted different 'gently bold' colours, if that makes sense. The staff are fantastic, cruisey ... Read more >

A stroll through QC

CANADA | Thursday, 31 Jan 2008 | Views [454]

As the title suggests, today I simply meandered through the streets of Quebec and enjoyed the moderate weather (by Canadian standards). It is very European, at times I felt like I could have been in Rome, you know, bar the French diffusing through ... Read more >

A bit of Banff

CANADA | Thursday, 24 Jan 2008 | Views [498] | Comments [2]

A brunette is walking along a track when an elk jumps out. Start of joke? Possibly. Both brunette and elk have minor aneurisms and severe palpitations? Yup. I think that the brunette was too busy looking at the icy track because she had ended up on her ... Read more >

More Schmalgary

CANADA | Tuesday, 15 Jan 2008 | Views [478] | Comments [1]

Why am I writing again? Because I can donkey, because I can. Three notes on Canadians: * Their light switches are upside down. This is mildly frustrating. It would make good fodder for C-grade comedy. * Canadian men LOVE Australian accents. Particularly ... Read more >

Calgary goodness

CANADA | Monday, 14 Jan 2008 | Views [594] | Comments [4]

Well, I'm here and alive. Aren't you all relieved? I'm sitting using the FREE internet in my hotel and thinking about how bloody sore my back is. Well I had an awesome trip over that ran according to plan. Except for the oxygen leak in the fuel tank ... Read more >
