W.E.M.?! Sorry Dude! Hey, just read your latest blog - sorry you had to go to the mall! I'm from Edmonton, and sadly, it's our claim to fame. I hope you managed to enjoy the rest of the city (not exactly the best time to be there - that's why I'm in Europe), but hey, the Rockies kick ass and they're not too far! Anyway, enjoy the rest of your travels!!!
Well, i guess that waterfall is not so secret anymore, is it? So after promoting your blog and getting it to be published on the front page, THIS is how you repay this opportunity. By showing your arse to the world. Disgusting... yet i cant seem... to look... away...
"Nice" hair cut.... loser Pity about those contrasting bright and dark sides of Vancouver, i thought it would all be just "bright". So much for the "best city in the world". Woo for Perth! Well done for jumping the barrier to check out the storm damage too, i would have done the same thing. Screw the establishment!
je pense que, oui! Hey I stumbled across your blog while updating mine...I live and schooled in montreal for 5 years and yous 8 month summary totally made me smile. Montreal is without a doubt one of the most amazing cities in the world, Im in Buenos Aires right now and I could so go for a pint of Boreal and a plate of poutine!
Found you on random. You definitely captured my exact sentiments of leaving a place that you've been studying abroad in. While the location and length of time may have been different, I can easily relate. I'm almost dreading the "So how was it?" question when I get back because I know there are no words to describe the experience.
The "Twins" photo is slighlty disturbing Understatement of the century now immortalised on travelblog - "I am doing a piss poor job of describing my 8 months here". But yes i understand, it is quite impossible to sum up 8months in one's life, especially 8months on exchange where the experience is seemingly unparalleled. I totally agree on the Changing Seasons point, the seasonsal colours in those places near the Arctic are something to remember. Aaahh exchange, good times.
Our big boy! Thanks, Dan, for looking after??? Tom for us on his birthday! Sounds like you both had a great time. We'll celebrate again when he gets home. Despite what others may say -Eg. Hugh- this is a great blog!!!
:) the elephant sculpture would have been my favourite one too!
i love elephants:)
miss you dan
only 4 months exactly till you get home:)
luv ya
nayy. xox
Top stuff Nice one Dan! I haven't checked your blog since um the Perth entry. You're a prolific writer! Thankfully your usual narcissism has been kept to a minimum. :)
To compare cities, Toronto may not be as good as Montreal but for me when I visited it was a welcome relief from Chicago. The feel was much more friendly and laid back than in the US. We only stayed for a morning, had a very ordinary lunch in Chinatown. The rest of Chinatown was cool though. Did you happen to see a street which has a remarkable number of fur coat stores? I'm surprised you didn't mention the trams, I thought it was just wicked how they go on the roads and ring their bells. But maybe that's because I've never been to any other cities with trams in them...
Anyway enough of filling up your blog with crap because you are already doing an admirable job of that. I'm subscribed so please hurry up with your next entry.
is that tom...? :P Wow, tommo looks hell different. must have been great to catch up with him over a "few" beers! Hope the socks are working out well for you... :P
Australia does have an ice hockey team, but they suck Great to see that beer played a fundamental part in this blog Dan. Although im sure that it was always a priority, it was never fully expressed until now. The Ice Hockey Hall of Fame sounds insane. Im finally going to play next week for the first time since coming back from Finland, i am almost orgasmic at the prospect (almost).
Happy 21st!!! Glad to hear you had a great night mate and did have that extra drink on me! From the sounds of it I might be owing you quite a bit for that "one extra drink" :P Wish I could have been there but we'll do something when you get back! Looking forward to meeting you in NZ in a few months!!!
July 2006 - July 2007: I embarked on a round the world trip with the small distraction of two semesters of study at McGill University in Montreal, Canada.
November 2008 - November 2009: Embarked on another RTW adventure with the small distraction of working at Breckenridge Ski Resort in Colorado. I spent time in the US North West, Europe and the Middle East.
July 2013 - October 2013: After working for 3 years after uni, its time for a holiday. Europe Bound.
Well that's the plan, we'll see what really happens along the way...... full info
