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.

Crash landing in Vancouver - Stepped off the bus with 1.5 pesos - (thinking that my last little budget didn't leave much to spare) - called Mike collect - "Hey, its cousin Charlie, got in a little early . . . nope, can't get on the skytrain, don't got a dime . . . alright, thanks, see ya soon" - Met my Uncle outside the bus station - First stop on the tour: Main and Hastings - a bust must have sent a couple dealers running, and tossing their rocks - fiends were tweakin' out, searching the sidewalks for a little [View Full Entry]

Canadian visit home...Vancouver, Kelowna and the Island

North America » Canada » British Columbia » Vancouver

Stanley Park
The walk...the talk...the tankers behind.

So here goes...having postponed putting this site together for the last 5 months, I've finally got my act together. Ironically, I am no longer in Vancouver (sitting in a Cairo internet cafe) but it's best to start this site properly, with the amazing couple of months that I spent at home. This was the first visit in 8 years to be more than 2 weeks, which meant a proper catch up with friends and family all over the place. But as I want to crack on to where I am now, I'll try my best to keep this short and sweet! [View Full Entry]

Winding down in Banff

North America » Canada » Alberta » Banff » Sunshine

Night Skiing
The girls after night skiing at Sunshine. With $2 burgers and drinks it's no wonder we have big smiles on our faces.

This is my first Travel Blog page so please excuses spelling mistakes, grammar mistakes and any other kind of mistake that will appear. This is my third time righting this little blog, there are a number of excuses one being this computer I'm on has really high virus protection on it and the other being that some times I can just be an idiot. So basically my last two attempts at a journal covered the highlights and lowlights of Banff. They where a bit more detailed than this one is going to be. I have about 10 days left in Banff [View Full Entry]

The Quest for the Holy Mall!

North America » Canada » Alberta » Edmonton

Jason has his monthly bath.
Take your jumper off Jase...

Well in the last 8 days I we have traveled almost 3000km through landscape ranging from tropical forests to desert wineries to glacier fields and back again. We got a hire car and then tented along the way. Was a bit wiered being on the wrong side of the road! Highlights were: The Rock Mountains and the engineering needed to create a road through them. The wildlife including wolves, moose, deer and birds (eagles, osprey, quails and ducks) but unfortunately no bears despite Jason’s reassurance that we would soon see one… The fried halibut and chips at a shop claiming to [View Full Entry]

Sasquatch in them hills

We are now in rainy Jasper. Since we last wrote to you from Vancouver we have explored far and wide. We picked up our campervan on the 5th of May and I bravely headed out into the traffic - on the wrong side of the road and car of course! It was manic, 4 lanes and then 5 all going around 100k/h heading who knows where in such a hurry. We made it to the ferry terminal at Twassen about 40 minutes later - nerves completely shattered. We took the ferry to Vancouver Is, about 2 hours. We drove from the [View Full Entry]

Anyone for golf?
teeing off on the 9th

After a stop over in LA I arrived in Vancouver where - following a delay of around 1 hour waiting for my bags - I was met at the airport by Jason, a mate from Uni. We then got the bus to Whistler where he lives and on the way saw some incredibe scenery. Spent the next week or so in Whistler where we did some biking (cross country and down hill), skiing, tennis and general tourist stuff. Also went on a Contiki tour canoe trip which was great evern though it was about 10 deg and raining. The punters werent [View Full Entry]

The Trip Begins

North America » Canada » Ontario » Waterloo

Engineering

I am on my way! I leave for the airport in a few hours and I thought that I should take care of a few things first. The first and really only thing to take care of is writting this journal and sending this page out to everyone. Lets start this story at the beginning so everyone is on the same page. the story so far... After suffering a devistating defeat at the battle of graduating from the Univerity of Waterloo, I have found that I have to one CSC (or Complimentary Studies Course) over the summer term, which would make [View Full Entry]
