Back to reality – Sydney style
There’s nothing like returning to work after a long holiday to bring you back down to earth with a bump. After spending a month in Indonesia and one week in Rarotonga in the Cook Islands, the holiday is over, the tan is already fading and returning to work has been a shock to [...]
Post-Holiday Québec Carnival: the fun doesn’t end after New Years!
When thinking of what to write for this month’s post, I was quite stumped. I figured there would be far too many articles floating around everywhere on the web regarding the holidays. So how about what happens after? How to spend the remaining winter months? Personally, I will be spending the months of January through [...]
Celebrating the Moon
Once upon a time the world was surrounded by ten suns. These ten suns burned brightly, so bright that the crops burned. Houyi, an expert archer, saw the suffering these suns were creating and shot down nine of them. The people cheered and celebrated him. And with his beautiful wife, Chang’e, he lived happily.

Beautiful Summer Sun!
One fact that is definitely true of Canada is its distinct seasons-while they might not be split into equal quarters, each one comes with its definitive ‘sign’ of emergence. The groundhogs of spring, dresses and no jackets of summer, the beautiful colours and dropping bicycle numbers of autumn and, of course, the snow and ice [...]
A NYC Summer
It’s been over a month now and I still have so much to see! But so far, I’ve explored Prospect Park, Central Park and Taste of Times Square. So far food has been the name of the game. Parks are fantastic–especially if you organize a picnic with friends. And, well, as a Frisbee player, wide [...]
Burning Midnight Foam
Burning Midnight Foam By Megan Nothing starts a day off quite like a cafe americano (one of the many styles of coffee found across Spain) and pan con tomate (the sadly misunderstood catalan food of favor created by smothering tomato, olive oil, and salt on bread) before a bus ride to visit Valencia to witness of [...]
