Mmmmm, what will I write about this week??? What have I been doing??? I haven't really done heaps this week. We were quite busy at the weekend as it was a long weekend here so the days went quite fast which was good. On Tuesday, it was a little quieter compared to the weekend. I got to talk to Kelsey a fair bit, we've decided to do a road trip to Whistler in June, we worked out that we had the same days off for once so that will be awesome. And she invited me to go to the movies with her and her sister Ashley to see A Letter To Juliet, Elbie ended up coming too. So after work, they drive us back to res so we could getchanged then took us to their place ... read more

Hey, hey. Well, it's been another week here in the Fraser Canyon and life has been pretty awesome. The night I got back to res, Brian took Alex and I into to Hope to pick up another new girl, Elbie from South Africa, we did our normal thing, doin the shopping, we bumped into Ken and Kathy, so they ended up taking us back to res to save Brian a trip back out there, unfortunatly, that mean't he wasn't coming to our get together. By the time we got back to res, Kelsey and Ashley were there and everyone had already started to drink. It was a good night and rather big for some people. A few people took part in a drinking game, I help Elbie unpack her groceries then let her settle in a ... read more

Hello again I'm working five days a week, so my blogs probably won't be all that interesting for things I do during the day, so sorry bout that lol. I made baked dinner for everyone on Friday night, two legs of pork and shit load of veges. For my first effort for cooking for about eight people, I think I did ok. I knew I was gonna go either not enough of way too much lol. It turned out that I did too much, so looks like we'll be havin pork sandwiches for the next week. I also made dessert, caramel self saucing puddings and ice cream, was really good. Everyone went back for seconds, thirds and forths and then everyone was talking about it the next day which was pretty cool. Ben said that the ... read more

Ok, from now on, while I'm here in Boston Bar, I'm only gonna post one blog a week, for the entire week, I'll write everyday still, but I think if I do one every couple of days, they won't be very long. So, I'll do it this way. Anzac day at home, but here in Canada, they don't have it, so while I was on my lunch break at work, I had myself a little minutes silence, that was about the best I could do. I spent the whole day on the tram today for the first time, I'm getting to know the speech even better, so that's good, soon I won't need my book. I met so many people even a few from Australia. I did get asked by one person, why Hells Gate has ... read more

I know, it's been a fair few days since updating my blog, but I've had a hard time getting internet access. I now have it so I'll be keeping you all updated again. So what I been up to over the last week or so??? I think I left off at being stuck in my hotel room as it was raining. So the next day, it's time to head to Hope. I packed my stuff, went for some breakfast, bacon, eggs and hashbrowns, yum. I went and collected my bags and checked out, climbed into a taxi and I was on my way to the Greyhound Bus Stop. After waiting a good two hours as I was there early, I finally boarded the bus for my two and a half hour bus ride. Note to self, ... read more

I get very few vacation days a year. In fact, only 10 vacation days per year until I work for at least 5 years with the same company. One of the many things that sucks about Canada - one of the lowest number of vacation days per year out of all the countries in the world. Even China is more generous with letting their minions have a rest. Anyway, so we decided to make the most out of our Easter weekend, and rented a car to go out east to the Fraser Valley. After being stuck for hours in horrible Vancouver long weekend peak traffic (and also getting lost several times as every road looks like every other road in North America), we finally made it to our awesome bed and breakfast accommodation near Agassiz and ... read more

Drive the scenic Fraser Canyon with its 7 mountain tunnels through the historic heart of British Columbia & relive the biggest ‘rush’ on the Gold Rush Trail. Hell's Gate Airtram is in a location so unique, the ‘afterlife’ have come back to use it as a playground. Early explorers refer to it as “a place where no human being should venture,” & man & nature battle here for supremacy. ... read more

We left Portland this Morning and we are already in Canada. We had light traffic, especially considering it is Monday of the Memorail Day weekend. We stopped for lunch at "burgerville".It is this great burger joint the have in the Pacific Northwest. We had burgers and fresh fried asparagus. I took a photo of the skyline in Seattle as we went by. It was a beautiful drive. Clear skies with lots of wildflowers. We even saw 3 deer along the sides of the roads. To cross the border, we went on a highway that winds through the farmfields. We couldn't believe it when we pulled up to the border crossing, as you can see from the picture, there was no one there. They asked if we had any produce, we said "some bananas and 4 apples". ... read more
