Despite me just getting back from Japan only two months ago I am off on my travels again, I had always wanted to go hike the Rockies in Banff and when I found out that a new chum from Kyoto lived near there I got myself an invite. Despite the train breaking down on the way to the airport I got in there time for a 9 hour flight direct to Vancouver, I stayed at the airport and straight away caught another flight to Calgary and despite my body clock saying it was 04:00 in the morning met up with my chum Josh for a few beers. The next day he took me on a 2 hour trip to Head-smashed-in Buffalo run, this was as gory as it sounds, especially for a veggie!! Up until 2 ... read more

2 days and a bit and we are off to Morocco. Tests are all finished, marks are in and now we can relax and enjoy ourselves on our great adventure. Our adventure starts when we get to Frankfurt and travel from the airport into head into town by train. We have almost 9 hours here so we have decided to explore this city as best we can in the time we have. Some will go on a walking tour and see the famous sites on foot, while others will take a tram tour; with a sampling of Frankfurt Cider which is now famous around the world. We have a few students who will visit with family and friends who are in the Frankfurt area. Then back to the airport for our second portion of our journey ... read more

I can't believe that it is less than a month and we will be on our way to Morocco. Only a few weeks left of classes and then final exams and off we go. We have looked at a few choices for activities while we have our layover in Frankfurt. There is a walking tour, a tram tour and just shopping. This break will be welcomed after our overnight flight from Calgary. I think we will sleep on the plane from Frankfurt to Casablanca. We are all getting anxious and excited and there has been many long dresses and skirts bought by the girls. Even Steve has a new outfit!!! That's it for now. More to come in the next week. Countdown has begun.... read more

Well.... guess this is what its come to. I've never imagined the day that I would write a "blog" ...to which I'm not i'm still not getting what it means. I have to be wary of this slippery slope... God forbid I do a "tweet" on a thing called twitter... and we're now at the point where Facebook may have overstayed its welcome and is waiting to be extinct by a newer form of social media. Undoubtedly something bigger, faster, stronger.... or something with more smiley faces and twinkle graphics. In 3 weeks, I will be be taking off for a new journey for 2014. Those who know me, this isn't anything that unusual for me. I've travelled a lot... and seen a lot. "Those who know, do not have to see... but one must see, ... read more

Geo: 51.0451, -114.063Our trip to Asia is done like dinner, and shockingly, we didn't leave this continent 10 lbs heavier! I'd like to say it was because we practiced supreme self control while eating here, but it's more likely because of a few days of food poisoning that helped knock off about 5 lbs! There were lots of eats in Asia, and with a few small exceptions, most of it was very good, and a lot of it was even spectacular - it's true what they say about the food here, that the selection and quality are mind blowing. Previously, the most intense and celebrated food cultures I have come across in the world were in Europe, with France and Italy at the top of the list. But while there is a definite love and appreciation ... read more
