Life is a Beach! Asia » Indonesia » Bali » Kuta

Buddha!
Inside every thimble looking structure stood a statue of Buddha. This one had broken in half so we were able to get a real good look at his Holiness.
Howdy everyone! I must say that I have fallen in love with Indonesia even though I have only been here for under 2 weeks. Everyone is super friendly, food and drinks are cheap, and the scenery is absolutely beautiful. Especially after hanging out on the beach for a few days now its definitely going to be hard to leave. But until August 4th comes around, I'm trying to keep the thoughts of not being here out of my head. Our Indonesian adventure began when we flew into Bandung which is located in western Java. We were planning on staying there just [View Full Entry]

Greetings from Malaysia everyone! I figured I might as well start this blog off by wishing you all a Happy belated Canada Day from the other side of the world! It definitely wasn't quite the same celebrating it over here but it was nice to be able to spend it with a couple of really cool Canadians. I believe my last blog ended by mentioning my trip to the Forbidden City in Beijing so I will carry on from there. Built in the early 1400's, the City functioned as the Chinese imperial palace and housed the Emperor and his family. At [View Full Entry]

Seeing how I was having trouble sleeping I brought the camera out and snapped this during the train ride to Beijing.
Good evening everyone! I have made it safely to Beijing and was pleasantly surprised to finally experience some cooking hot weather. The last few days have been 30+ degrees and I have to say that my sun tan is finally coming in nicely. Monday night we departed from Daqing around 8pm on an overnight train ride scheduled to take about 13 hours. The sleeper train was divided into a bunch of separate rooms that would house 4 people each for the evening. There wasn't much to do other than read and chit chat about nothing so we attempted to sleep and [View Full Entry]

Bonjour everybody! Everything is still going great over here on the Asian frontier! Except for the ridiculous amount of rain we have been experiencing. Pretty much everyday it absolutely downpours for hours. I can honeslty say the amount of wet could be comparable to home. One of Jeff's co-workers was talking about how in parts of China it is legal for them to sent rockets into the atmosphere which release some type of certain chemical that induces rainfall. I couldn't explain it to you in any further detail then that, but supposedly a small group of farmers have been trained on [View Full Entry]

Hello everyone! Sorry for the delay of the newest blog entry, I've been too busy living and enjoying life! The computer that I have access to here has been having some technical difficulties as well and likes to shut down by itself without warning. But enough with the excuses, here it goes... I believe I left off mentioning the Foreigner Olympics so I will carry on from there. Just for a quick refresher, the Olympics are where all of the foreign teachers (about 25 in total) from the various schools across the city come to have fun and compete in different [View Full Entry]

I have completely lost track of time, and I love it! After all, I am on holidays. I woke up at 6am the other morning and was shaved, showered, fed and ready to go by 6:30. It was just too bad that everyone else in the city wasnt, including Jeff and Niki! The sun here starts to rise very early, around 3:30am because the entire country of China shares one time zone which is pretty different from home. I guess it's just another thing to adapt to. The last few days have been pretty laid back, not that I'm complaining or [View Full Entry]

Great start to my first day in China. Sitting at the Hamamas Coffee House with Jeff enjoying this breakfast treat accompanied with a fresh cup of joe.
After a 8536km plane ride overseas to Beijing, 1058km plane ride north to Harbin, and an hour and a half train (couldn't find the distance on Google) up to Daqing, I'm finally here! With the help of a couple movies, 3 meals, and a few hours of snoozing, the first 10.5 hour flight went by quite quickly. When we landed in the Beijing airport the plane was greeted by an 8 person team of people wearing facemasks, gogges, and white laboratory coats that walked down the aisles holding a little pistol like device to everybody's forehead. Not only was this unexpected, [View Full Entry]

Less than 24 hours away! Asia » China » Beijing
Good evening everyone! The big day has is almost here, pretty exciting stuff! I'm having trouble sitting here writing a blog right now, the anticipation is killing me! So, to narrow it down for you all, seeing how Asia is a pretty big place, I thought I'd take a moment to give a brief rundown of my actual travel plans. Monday June 1st (tomorrow), my flight leaves directly to Beijing, China at 1:50pm and will take approximately 12 hours to fly across the Pacific Ocean. After sitting through a layover for 5 hours, my next flight is headed northeast to Harbin, [View Full Entry]
