Our plans have changed and we could really use a ride from the Airport when we come home. Would someone be willing to pick us up at the airport on September 4th @ about 3 pm? We can afford a taxi, but it would much more fun to meet friends and hang out. Please email [...]
The bags are packed and we’re about as ready as we can be. Tina did a great job of rolling our clothes so small that everything fits really well. I convinced her that she probably didn’t need two baseball caps, and all in all I think we’ve packed very reasonably. Tonight we’ll stay with Tina’s [...]
We’ve heard that traffic in Bangkok can be really terrible. I just booked our hotel, the Thai Cozy House, for the first two nights. The clerk guessed that at around midnight, the trip from the airport to downtown Bangkok would take one-and-a-half to two hours. By my estimate that is a ~20 km journey. She [...]
A few days ago, Tina and I left Kamloops to visit my mom. It’ll be much harder to see her on Vancouver Island once school starts, so we decided to hit the road while we’re free to travel.
We left Kamloops with our first priority of arriving at a doctor appointment with our family doctor in Burnaby. In the rush to get there, everything was going great and then…
These photos of Angkor Wat are amazing. I’m so excited!!!
At 10:30 am, Bangkok time, the weather report was 40°C and 89% humidity. It’s now 3:30pm, and it looks like 46°C 71%.

Vancouver (加拿大温哥华) local time is now:
06 Feb 2012 at 11:56 PM
In 2004, Justin left his job in Vancouver (温哥华) to study at Thompson Rivers University (汤普森河大学) and pursue a degree in business, with an economics major. From 2005-06 he was part of an exchange program with the Tianjin University of Technology (天津理工大学) in Tianjin, China. Instead of returning to Canada, TRU World sent Justin to Nanchang University (南昌大学) to study Mandarin Chinese. In both programs he was the first student from TRU to participate in these exchange programs in China and, in total, spent 2 years living in China.
Upon returning to Canada in July 2007, Justin relocated to Canada's eastern city of Halifax (哈利法克斯) and transferred to Saint Mary's University (圣玛丽大学) for a year. Justin is currently taking a break from school after having moved back to Vancouver to work, save money, and practice Chinese whenever possible.

I shall pass this way but once; any good, therefore, that I can do or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer nor neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.
