Where I stayed
I ate my way through Ottawa. These people sure do know how to eat. I had some great dinners here, and excellent baked goods. Highlights of the trip: all the cool people I met at the conference, the food, the creepy hostel which use to be a jail, and the museum of civilization. The museum had a show on all about the pre Incan people called the Sican in Peru. Great gold metalworkers! At the show, this guy comes up to me and starts speaking Spanish, thinking I was a student I guess. Once we used broken French and English, he told me he had never hear of the Sican, and he was from Peru! This is a pretty new area of interest then.
BTW, I have no pics of the actual conference as most people are super shy about cameras and I can never get any good ones, so I give up.

Iwent on a short trip to China and Japan for six weeks. last time I was in Harbin in 2004 which was in the far north. This time I am hitting Beijing, Xi an, Hong Kong and Macau. Japan will be very meaningful as I was there in April of 1992...wow. Dave will be meeting me there and we´ll hit Tokyo, Kamakura, Kyoto, Osaka and Gifu City where we are staying with friends. Second trip that I blogged was to Princeton NJ and Ottawa, for conferences. Different than the first but still a lot of fun.... full info
