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.

Sanjay and Andrew
Sanjay and Andrew at a very delicious going away dinner ... Sanjay cooked

One hour until my friend Sanjay picks me up and takes me to the airport. I am ready and packed and ... very excited. No idea what Delhi is like, no idea where the trip will take me. Holy cow is right! For the past two days as I have been saying goodbye to friend and relatives, I have been taking pictures with my new digital camera. Here are some of them. Bye for now. Next entry will be from India! [View Full Entry]

My bags are packed....

North America » Canada » British Columbia » Vancouver Island » Comox

Hi Everyone! This is my first trip post! True, my flight doesn't leave until Sunday at 1030, but Eric and I are heading to Vancouver first thing tomorrow morning, after visiting my parents. So, I'm all packed (maybe one or two things to remember!) and getting goosebumps. It will be a weird mix of emotions Sunday, as I say goodbye to Eric (he'll be away until next summer) and anticipate grand adventures in India. I land in Delhi at 230am on Tuesday, after a stopover in Taipei. I've got an airport pickup arranged, and I'll be spending the first 2 or [View Full Entry]

North America » Canada » British Columbia » Vancouver

Well here goes! This is my first entry. Disclaimer: some of you may receive this e-mail twice. I can't for the life of me firgure out how to manage the e-mail list and it is not for any lack of trying! Anyhow, I'm off this evening taking the train from Vancouver to Seattle. For those of you (I'm assuming most) who have never taken the train, it is only $25USD and leaves everyday from Main & Terminal at 6pm. It takes 4 hours and 5 minutes. Depending on the border and Seattle/Vancouver traffic, I would suggest this is a bargain and [View Full Entry]

Numbers

North America » Canada » British Columbia » Vancouver

Keeping statistics Is not very fun, but it keeps boredom away! On one of my train rides I started writing down "numbers" of things from my time away this past year. I thought I'd share some of them here with you. * # of notebooks used for keeping notes for this blog: 6 * # of underwear lost: 1. I wonder if it's still hanging there drying in that hostel in Scotland? * # of socks tossed because they've become too scary: 4 * # of pictures taken: over 6000 although the picture count on my camera is currently at 6990.

I will miss the food
Baguettes, really can't be duplicated anywhere else.

Aren't I unpleasantly surprised to see the weather has turned for the worst, and it's -20°C out here. I guess considering the weather that I have seen in Spain, France and Germany, it's not too much of a shock. Let's see, I wandered around Frankfurt for a couple hours getting on trains with directions Hauptewachte and that type of thing... It was kind of freaky walking around and not knowing hardly any German except for Gudentag and Danke but I managed to buy some chocolates and weird euro shoes and I was on my way home. I never made it to [View Full Entry]

It's snowing!

Last night, I was so excited when I see snow... (Refer to my previous post "Snow in Vancouver") Today, when I woke up in the morning and looked out of the window, I was stunned. The whole place was covered in thick white snow! The streets, the cars in the parking lots, the trees, the houses, etc were all covered in snow!!! When I walked out from my residence, the whole ground was covered with snow and people were walking carefully on the snow. The snow was wet, so when people stepped on top of the snow, the snow was compressed [View Full Entry]
