An adventure is simply an inconvenience rightly considered.

My Triumphant Return

Well i'm back from my journys. got back this evening at 7pm. it is now 1am and i'm only just getting ready for bed. it's been a very long day, getting up at 5am, travelling for a couple hours by car, then 6hrs by bus and then spending all evening unpacking, doing laundry and getting ready for work tomorrow!
boy, what a day.
anyways, i'm back and will try to post pics and stories as soon as i can, but i've got a lot of work to do so it may not all happen until the weekend.
peace.
Rob

PS. Here is an updated map of all the countries that i've visited in my lifetime. i have a bit of a criteria that i use when judging which countries i've been to and it is roughly as follows:
I have to be able to remember being in the country (so my trip to the United States when i was super young, doesn't count thus no US on this map)
You have to actually enter the country. So Zimbabwe doesn't count, even though i went past the border control of Zambia and had my photo taken by the "welcome to Zimbabwe" sign. And...
You have to actually spend some time in the country. As such i don't count Singapore or South Korea, both of which i had a 1hr layover while flying to South Africa and will have the same going back.
So here is my map...

Have you truly been all over Canada? Like been in every province? Not just flying over them, but actually in them. prove this to me, i demand it.

I just think its silly if they include canada as a whole if you've only visited .5.756423467% of it. And it shouldn't just count automatically if you live in the country.

Also, I'm glad you're back and internet connected. that rocks. but what would rock better is if you came home! come on, who needs nice weather when you can have the unpredictable weather of Edmonton!!!

mua ha ha ha ha!
