In Shanghai for the Week (Aug 8 – 16)
I’m back in China for a week August 8th till the 16th and wondering if anyone else is out in Shanghai this week? There are a few of us already meeting during the week for some good eats, good talks and maybe even some good fun 
So comment back if you are in the area and feel like meeting up, I’m around People’s Square…
Manchester UK for the Weekend
Holiday time is in short supply but my good friend Mark finally had some time as he just finished teaching. So I booked a quick flight out to Manchester as after almost 10 years Mark and I will get to again share in an adventure.
Mark and I met while traveling around Europe & Africa and then later we traveled around Canada and the United States. So many stories about what we got up to will make the blog in the coming months while others will only live in our memories.
Philippines Boracay & Manila
I spent over 6 years right beside the Philippines but sadly only made it there once, this post was from my 2007 trip that took me to the capital Manila and to a very nice beach resort area called Boracy. It is reposted it its original format but with the addition of videos from the fun had in Boracay.
After a few eventful days and nights in the Philippines I am on the plane heading back to Singapore for my last couple days there. The Philippines was great and it was made even better by an incredible bunch of people.
Souel, South Korea
This is an old post that has been updated with new comments in (brackets) hope you enjoy and if you do get the chance I do recommend traveling to Seoul.
Well I just finishing up a 2 day stay in Seoul, South Korea. Seoul is interesting, very costly, along the lines of Japan costs (I have later found out that South Korea and Japan are very similar in culture and style), but minus the Japanese system and cleanness.
3 Days in Fort Lauderdale
I have been to Florida once before, but that trip was in Orlando so this 3 day trip to Fort Lauderdale was really different. This recycled post has some new comments in (brackets) and I hope it interests you, while Fort Lauderdale might not.
Well it was really nice to be back in a humid and hot climate, even if it was just for 3 days. This trip was for corporate reasons and I spent most my days and nights working. It wasn’t all bad as it did allow me a chance to meet some really talented people.
Niagara Falls – Maid of the Mist
Great story from a quick trip to Niagara Falls, with some updated photos from the trip and some new comments in (brackets). Highly recommend spending some time in Niagara Falls.
Last weekend my buddy Troy and his Wife, who where on their honeymoon from Thailand stopped by Guelph and we decided to explore the region. This was my first time having guests in Guelph, so we headed up to Niagara Falls. This was the first time for Troy’s wife and me seeing Niagara Falls. Tory had been before but he was only a kid so it was a great new experience for us all.
Quick Trip to Halifax, Nova Scotia
This post is about a trip to Halifax and about spending the 2007 Canada Day there. Updated comments are in (brackets) as this is a recycled story from a past blog I created.
Business took me up to Halifax on the Friday before Canada Day and I decided to stay till the Monday and celebrate Canada Day in Halifax along with some friends from Genie Knows.
White Water Rafting on Ottawa River
Great team building activity and a lot of fun even for just a weekend adventure, this recycled post has some added comments in (brackets) and hope you enjoy and get the chance to do some white water rafting yourself.
Last weekend went camping and white water rafting on the Ottawa River. It was great to get back camping and the white water rafting added even more elements of fun. The only thing that slowed down the fun on the weekend was the 8 hour bus ride from Guelph to the camp. Its makes spending 12 hours on a plane seem like heaven as on the bus there is no one feeding you snacks, even less room to walk around and limited entertainment.
Wedding in Belgium
Great story from the summer of 2007 about my buddy Steven getting married. I met and worked with Steven while living in Thailand.
What an interesting week I spent in Europe as my really good friend Steven (not me) was getting married. Since I travel around the world a lot this friend and I have something unique in that over the last 5 years we have seen each other and kept in touch regularly which is very rare for him and me (2 years later we still are keeping in touch, a record for me). But we both lived in Thailand and ended up working in the same ecommerce company, so even when I moved over to Singapore it was easy enough to get back to Thailand and say hi.
Thanksgiving in Cuba
Not American thanksgiving but the Canadian, which happens on the 2nd Monday in October. This story is from my 2007 thanksgiving, I have also updated a few things, enjoy!
Holidays for me often are not so much fun as usually I am far away from family, but this year for Thanksgiving I headed off to Cuba. Even going alone to Cuba it ended up being great as I’ve never been and had always wanted to go and see a true communist country in operation.
Travel Photos
I have created a centralized location for all the photos from the stories within the Travel section. This public photo album also contains photos from yet to be released stories and has extra photos from the current stories.
When I started traveling around the world in 1998 I was one of the few people that had a digital camera and lucky for me as now I can share those photos with you. Here you will find photos from all over the world, in the future I will hopefully be able to organize them within the album by country and by date/trip.
