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.

15.11.2005, 20:00 Uhr - Toronto Downtown

North America » Canada

Das isser!
Schick...

Endlich geschafft - vor ca. 2 Stunden habe ich im Hotel "Bond Place" eingecheckt. Der Flug war relativ unspektakulaer. Ich hatte gluecklicherweise - nachdem ich meinen ganzen Charme eingesetzt habe - einen Platz neben mir frei und konnte mich ein bisschen breit machen. Bequemer war es dadurch aber auch nicht... Nach 7 Stunden und 10 Minuten hatte ich dann endlich wieder festen Boden unter den Fuessen... Witzigerweise habe ich ueberhaupt nichts von der Landung gemerkt, weil draussen eine einzige Nebelsuppe war. Bis kurz vor dem "Touch Down" hat man nix gesehen. Kein Wunder - fuer Toronto gib [View Full Entry]

Pinch me..is it really true??

North America » Canada » British Columbia » Vancouver

Welcome Home Bonnie!
Nick and his "friends" had a little welcome home party for me in my unrecognizable room...

It's almost surreal Surprised my whole family, with a ring on the phone. Pinch me! I can't believe that I've been home for about 24 hours now! It's been great. Yesterday, after finally pulling into Via's Vancouver Station and then having to wait for ages for my baggage to come out I headed towards Main and Terminal to catch the bus home. I tell you, that bus ride home seemed almost as long as the previous 26 hours I had just spent on the train from Edmonton. lol I got off one stop before my stop since I had two last [View Full Entry]

A sweet goodbye!

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

Fashionably Late
ladies and gentlemen... JEROME HAS ENTERED THE BUILDING!

I arrived in Victoria to meet the boys (GRANT and HODGE) for a nice little goodbye shin-dig. The ladies were of course loving every minute of me being there and everyone was pretty happy that the two losers were finally leaving town... seriously. [View Full Entry]

Will I like it or hate it?! Check back here frequently - I will update my travel blog as frequently as possible, and hopefully include pictures. Cheers, Eileen [View Full Entry]

The long road home...

North America » Canada » British Columbia » Vancouver

Wet and rainy view from the train

I am homeward bound Three hundred and nineteen days To circle the Earth. Six hours of sleep, contorted on a two seater train seat. I'm surprised that I actually feel refreshed after a big stretch or two. I guess the excitement of getting closer and closer to home has helped. It is currently 06:34. No idea where we are since it's still really dark out and I can't see a thing except the outline of various trees. Hopefully we made up some time last night so that we're not too far off the time table. Oh hey, there's water and mountains [View Full Entry]

Leaving on a Jet Plane

Charlie the Cactus
Having already grown strange claws, what will he look like when I get back?

Two Days before I leave, and I thought I would just send out a quick hello and goodbye to all my friends and family I am leaving in Calgary! My trip is mainly 2 parts: 1. A trip to Nexen's CPF (Central Processing Facility) in Yemen - Work Stuff 2. A side trip to see Sarah in Spain - Fun Stuff In between I have stopovers in London, Dubai, and Frankfurt. Hopefully a weekend in Paris will happen too! I'm really looking forward to both aspects of my trip because for one, I finally get to see all the people in [View Full Entry]

I'm catching the train home!

North America » Canada » Alberta » Edmonton

View from the train

Wake up? No, not yet. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. It's now 7! Time to catch my train. The train has arrived early...just like me. I didn't sleep well from 5-7AM 10 for fear I would sleep through my alarm and 2) the Dutch girl in the bunk below me kept talking in her sleep. If you're going to talk in your sleep at least have something juicy for the rest of us that have to listen to you. haha It was interesting though that she was speaking English is her sleep! Anyhoo, I had most of my stuff packed up last [View Full Entry]
