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.

On the Victoria Clipper

We arrived in Vancouver Island via the Victoria Clipper and met up with our long-time friend, Nellie accompanied by her youngest granddaughter, Rachel. We settled into our room and went to the local duck pond with Rachael and picked her brother, Ethan and sister, Clare, up from school. We had fun climbing on the school playsets with the other (smaller) children. Over the next couple of days we checked out a bunch of sights whilst staying with Nellie and her daughter, Karen and son-in-law, Steven, around Victoria including the Cowitchan Cultural Centre which had a bunch of displays about t [View Full Entry]

Tahiti?
Actually, it's Highway 11, near Fengbin, on the east coast of Taiwan.

I am not a deceitful person, but one of the things I love about language is how it is hypothetically possible to mislead a person by telling the truth. “Next week we will be living on another island that is five thousand kilometres (as the frigate bird flies) from Hawaii, where French is one of the official languages.” Is anyone thinking “Lucky guy! Now he gets to live in French Polynesia!”? Well, it’s a long way to Tipperary, as the old WWI song goes, but it’s even farther from British Columbia to Tahiti than it is from Belgium to Ireland. We [View Full Entry]

After Working and Saving - Here I Go! . . .

Autumn in Ottawa

For close to 2 years now I've been working on the cruise ships. And pretty much whenever I've been home between contracts I've been working. Tour Guiding, Teaching, doing parent presentations, and various other things that have come up along the way. Finally, after all that work and saving, I have enough money saved to go travel on my own. And tonight I am leaving - for South Africa!! I've got nearly 2 months planned. Which seems like a long time. Until I look at all of the things I'm trying to do and I realize I'm barely going to fit [View Full Entry]

My plans to go to a friend’s for thanksgiving unfortunately fell through and so spent the weekend on campus. Luckily enough however, my friend Anna also stayed here and so one crisp, autumn, Sunday afternoon we went for a walk into Coots Paradise, the nature reserve adjacent to the campus. We followed a path behind one of the residences into the woods and down to the lake. Now I’d heard that autumn in Canada was amazing but to be honest it didn’t exactly sound that remarkable; I mean leaves change colour in England too. However, when you put thousands of these [View Full Entry]

Canada (Vancouver)

North America » Canada » British Columbia » Vancouver

De reis begon met mijn vlucht naar Vancouver. Het was even beven (in letterlijke zin) bij aankomst. Ik was herstellende van een week feesten in Groningen, afgesloten met het welbekende Martini, om 5 uur sochtends de tas inpakken en voor ik het wist zat ik in de lucht. Op de vraag van de douane wat ik kwam doen en waar ik heen ging kon ik geen antwoord geven, en slechts een ticket over 4 maanden terug uit Costa Rica tonen. Na een groot rood kruis op mijn papiertje kreeg ik alles behalve een voorkeursbehandeling en begon hun showtje. Veel checks later [View Full Entry]

How did I get here?

"Failure's hard, but success is far more dangerous. If you're successful at the wrong thing, the mix of praise and money and opportunity can lock you in forever." Po Bronson I've never seen my greatest fear so succinctly summed up into one sentence. For years, I have struggled with the societal overtones of wealth and material possessions, which are in stark contrast to my personal objectives in life. We are taught, inadvertently, that money is it. If you have money, you are set. And not to downplay the joys of having money, it certainly helps, in my short time as an [View Full Entry]

What a day What a day... Yesterday, that is! My sunday nightshift was an interesting time.. I had a talk with my boss in the morning that essentially set me free! We have a pretty big problem at work hiring and keeping employees at the top end. It is a subject that i ask about constantly. We are being overworked, so i want a solution (though i have mine!!) that will help everyone else out. So i had a conversation that went something like this: "Hey Bob, whats the status on hiring shift engineers? any progress? any interviews?" "Why yes Ryan! [View Full Entry]
