Vancouver Travel Blogs

Background: A land of vast distances and rich natural resources, Canada became a self-governing dominion in 1867 while retaining ties to the British crown. Economically and technologically the nation has developed in parallel with the US, its neighbor to the south across an unfortified border. Canada's paramount political problem is meeting public demands for quality improvements in health care and education services after a decade of budget cuts. The issue of reconciling Quebec's francophone heritage with the majority anglophone Canadian population has moved to the back burner in recent years; support for separatism abated after the Quebec government's referendum on independence failed to pass in October of 1995.

We made it to Vancover at about miday, found our hostel and are now just chilling and can finally upload a decent amount of pics!! The journey was so scenic, too many lakes and mountains to possibly take pictures of. The whole 20 hours or so we were following the river fraiser which is the longest in Bristish Columbia and so the train track dipped in and out of the mountain cliffs through these crazy tunnels. Its so beautiful here and in Jasper the bars, cafes, resturants and shops are all so canada themed that it sometimes seems like everyones taking [View Full Entry]

Hello again all! Well I started a new job the other day. As much as I enjoyed my time at Vancouver Coastal Health, it wasn’t really for me. The work environment was a little different to what I’m used to and ultimately things weren’t busy enough to keep me occupied. So totally out of the blue I got offered a job at Davis LLP, a national law firm with its head office in Vancouver. Doing legal accounting like I did at Mallesons, my job will be to relieve for staff on leave or otherwise occupied with the roll out of their [View Full Entry]

Another great YVR layover. I decided to walk the seawall this time instead of renting a bike. I got up this morning and after a few cups of coffee and some fruit. I dressed and headed out for the walk. The weather was fantastic, the sky was mostly clear and the it was cool and dry. What a contrast to a few days ago in Cancun where it was 96 degrees and 100% humidity. After the walk I met up w/ my First Officer, Brett Gaylord, and we took the "Aquabus" over to Granville Island for lunch. We ate at the [View Full Entry]

Hello all, I guess it’s been a while eh? A lot of fun and crazy things have happened since our return from India and Thailand, so much so that we haven’t written a peep! So sorry, mea culpa, but I have good news: I am about to set off on another trip (yes, I know…..yayy me!). I am going to Oaxaca, Mexico for two months, and the best part is that I am getting school credit for it! Yup, that’s right, not only did I get into my number one choice for the one year teaching program, but I also got [View Full Entry]

What a RUSH!!!

 North America » Canada » British Columbia » Vancouver » YVR
The volunteer work at Koeye Lodge, British Columbia with the Heiltsuk First Nations was incredible! It was far better than what I imagined or expected. I'll try to recap everything I did there while waiting for my flight to Taipei at Vancouver International which is set to depart at 2:20am. It was unfortunate I could not keep the blog updated while I was there, but the Koeye Lodge where I did my volunteer work was on a remote British Columbia coast with no telephone access and limited satellite Internet and electricity. Anyway, here's the recap of what I did. July 27, [View Full Entry]

Subtleties, sticking out like different colored water. Starkly visible from above as you fly overhead and watch murky brown change to a deep blue. Not gradually, but all at once. A pronounced line clearly marking the difference. Swimming in it is a different story... the change is harder to see. Vancouver, North America, and the world outside. The differences that may seem so subtle, but in ways indicate the vastness between different exposures to what it means to be alive. The ferry, it's giant mass cruising across the ocean. Eerily smooth and silent. The only indicator of the work [View Full Entry]
