Chateau Louis Hotel And Conference Center Edmonton

... when we came over some 2 months before.

The next day we hit the famed West Edmonton Mall, what can I say, it is a very big mall!

After all the excitement of the mall we lunched on Whyte Avenue. This was where we had our first outing with Barney the bear. Barney is the mascot of the class of schoolchildren taught by Kristina’s brother Simon in Hamburg. We have agreed to have him travel with us, and he will send email ...

... I would've gone anyway. I just wouldn't have been able to work or stay longer than three months. So I guess what I am really celebrating is having some security in Japan.

Whatever the case it is an amazing feeling. The only thing stading between me and Japan is the 1200km between Edmonton and Vancouver.

So I'm back home for the moment and like usual everyone who kept asking me when i was coming home or gave the impression of missing my company Has made very little effort to spent time with me.
I've been spending most of my time on the computer reading random articles on the internet as well i've taken up a new hobby reading books lol i know some how i've become a big nerd with no friends....

roughly 4 years ago i set out on ...

It has been an interesting few years and I want to thank everyone who supported me along the way. I have certainly learned alot :) As many of you may have already noticed, I am no longer blogging at TravelPod. I have officially left the Expedia/TripAdvisor/TravelPod family as of last month. I appreciate all the opportunities and wonderful people I met along the way and for that, I am ...

... neighbor told me that I merely had to walk across the street to my polling station. I was glad that I ran into some candidates who were canvassing the neighborhood who gave me brochures. I am glad that I get to have a say. I am glad I am finally taking responsibility. "I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something that I can do." -Helen Keller

... the Canadian embassy to find out that, they Aren't very helpful to Canadians abroad, and More or less The only option He had was to Get a temporary passport, Which is only good for the flight Back into Canada, Thus after only 2 short weeks sending my friend home. I had to make a rush decision (due to seating space available for last second flights) I did eventually have to Go back to Canada for a couple of personal affairs and just to get a new ...

Thankfully it warmed up, so I didn't have to wear all my clothes as I feared might. The morning we arrived just happened to be a cold one. After our last stop off, when we were getting a taxi from the station to our hostel, we were both looking out of the windows and studying what we saw carefully. Both praying that this place was more up our street. During that taxi ride, I was hopeful that Edmonton had more going ...

... around hugging kids, and dancing about. My Mom came with me and to be honest, I think she did a better job than I. I have a lot of fun with this kind of volunteer work but I had no idea my Mom would shine the way she did. Now I know where I get my performance skills and charisma from. I couldn't help but just smile proudly that she was having such an charming effect on all the crowd, young and old alike. It was close to 30 C that ...

... We took a shop at the local supermarket before settling in for the night. As I don't watch TV as a regular habit, it was really quite a treat. I found it interesting that I was more amused by the commercials than regular programming. The imagination that would strive to snag my curiousity and my interest was challenged only by my dreams, the ultimate in creation technology. Friday night, we perused the store finding tea, spinach/feta perogies and my very ...

Well today I decided to just come clean with a bunch of things that I had been holding onto for years and years. It was strange to talk about it so honestly and matter of factly...but it really seemed to work. I feel a little bit lighter though still quite terrified of the reprocusions. What dare I ask, could be better then just being the truth. Not having integrity ...
