My “New” Shorts
For me, pants are highly overrated. I generally spend my time either in the tropics or enjoying the short but sweet summer in Canada. On top of that, one of my favourite daily modes of transport is by bicycle. That said, shorts are the way to go. This deal was cutting off and hemming an […]
Pad See Ew (Stir Fried Noodles)
This week, let’s look at one of my favourite Asian fast foods, pad see ew. Loosely translated, it means fried soy sauce, because the big fried noodles are well coated in soy sauce. This particular pad see ew is from one of my favourite restaurants in Luang Prabang, Laos named Puck Luck. This place is […]
A Journey Back in time on Southern Prairie Railway
On my latest visit back to Canada, my nephew and I went on a little adventure, touring some of the sights in Southwestern Saskatchewan. Though I lived many years close by, this an area I have spent very little time there , especially as a tourist. We covered quite a bit of ground for one […]
London-Paris-Italy by Train, including Eurostar Snap
Trains London-Paris-Italy 2016 I find train travel much more interesting than flying and on my recent tour of Europe I certainly got my fill. London I took trains/tube around London and as far out as Maidenhead. I had hoped to see improved service from my time living there years ago but sadly no. All […]

Canadian Favourites
The green, green grass of home I was back in Canada for a few weeks and a question I often got asked is what did I miss the most about Canada while I was away or put another way what do I enjoy the most when I am back. It’s funny how leaving the place […]

Tribute to RRR

Planes, Trains and Autorickshaws
Click on the photo to see the album I was caught off guard when the madness of India began before I even left Thailand. I booked my flight to India online with the popular Indian airline called Kingfisher about a week before departure. I was surprised that at that time it seemed like there were […]
Chiang Mai, Thailand
My time in Chiang Mai started off on a bit of a downer as my suitcase did not arrive on the flight with me. It’s funny because at the sleepy little Luang Prabang airport that I departed from there were only two planes there at departure time but Lao Airlines managed to put my bag […]
