Canadian Idle

It has been roughly 2 months since I left Korea. I would be lying if I said that, at times, I didn't miss the place. Mostly I miss the fact that you are never more than 3 minutes from an ATM or 7-11. But other than that, the transition has gone smoothly. I will mostly credit this to having something to do back in Canada. School starts in 5 weeks. Also, the fact that Korea wasn't presenting anything new. I got a little bored. Content, complacent, bored. Sure. It happens.

I went to Cambodia. A lovely, tragic, stimulating country. A cure for my itchy feet and another country crossed off the list of SE Asian destinations. It rained a bit, I got a sunburn, conversed with a German journalist about our solutions (although we pretended not to have any) to the world's problems. Ate too many green curries. Pined for India, the mother of all travel destinations. Shopped in Bangkok. I'm such a jet-setter.


Vancouver for 3 wonderful, hectic days. Family, old friends.

And now back in Tamworth. I destroy chicken coops and haul rocks. Spend too much money on fossil fuels. Again, I haul rocks. Canadian cigarettes are $9.75 a pack. I do chin-ups in the garage. Did I mention the rocks? American visitors, good times. Cribbage championships. I am neglecting communication with too many people, perhaps I am in hiding. Content, slowing things down, getting ready for Toronto.

Peace, eh.
