To Moti-ram!

I land in Brisbane in an hour! It will be 7am in the morning here, while in Calgary it will be 2 pm on September 14th. I am in the future!! Are you impressed?! The flights were pretty uneventful and went by really quickly. I kept dreaming I was traveling with you, maybe because I have some of your items so close to me at this time <3! I am slowly realizing that I will be traveling alone and that scares me a little. I am sure I will meet people just like me though and it will all get better. I am hoping to meet people that can teach me a lot of things, show me around, and can go camping and climbing with. Woke up this morning to a beautiful red sun rise that puts me in a really positive mood. Tokyo airport was not as exciting as I thought it would be and not as dangerous as everyone was thinking either. I think the excitement was lacking because I was stuck in the International part. In other parts of the airport you get watch some performers do some tricks. It would have probably been more fun if I had some one along with me. We could have ooo-ed and ahhh-ed at the green pay phones or something ridiculous like that. I have to say I am disappointed, I figured traveling in to the future would be cool. I mean look at Back to the Future and Doctor Who, they definitely make it all look cool.

Anyway... I should pack my things up and get ready to be in Australia! Considering it’s almost the same as Canada there won’t be too many cultural differences. At the most there will be some funny accents,the use different words for certain things, and some funny saying. I have been on the plane for a long time and am landing in country where the main language is english, and it’s clean and there won’t any crazy diseases. There will be lots of deadly animals though 0_0!
I am off to gallivant across Australia!

To the people in Victoria;

A little bit of a delayed entry but let’s see if I can put it all together!
- 2 minutes on to the ferry I am convinced my sister is going to kill me
- 5 minutes on the ferry I realize that she just needed fresh air
- 10 minutes on the ferry I see a lady walking around with a stuffed octopus(it looks like a Ood head from Doctor Who!!), so I had to talk to her about it!
15 minutes on the ferry it hits me that I won’t be seeing a lot of you for a long long time! Solution: stuff my face full of fries and try not to think too much about it.
Get to Vancouver and realize my sister has Calgary rage when driving. Solution: Put on my i-pod
Night time I realize I am going to a country where I won’t have people I can hug randomly. Solution: Massive panic text out

Get to Calgary quicker then possible. Yay speeding! Yay family! Yay friends! Yay speaking Hindi! Lots of time spent in Timmy’s catching up with friends and doing another round of good byes( oh boy!) Been here for a few days and my mind always wanders back to Victoria once in a while. So to the house with the purple bra, the kiwi’s, and well the rest of you. You are being missed! Thank you for an amazing year in Victoria. Learned new things and tried a lot of new things while I was there. Continue to be amazing and do some stellar things. Also keep me updated on the world over there.
Now I am off to lounge in the sun while I wait for my friend to show up.

Peace out Victoria!

To the girl known as Order;

My thoughts wander your way as I think about the exciting day I have had today! Kaikelin(my roommate), Ruth and I went to the Salt Spring Island for the day. An Island that has even more hippies then Victoria. We had been talking about it for quite a bit and now it has finally happened.

The day started off nice and early with me being fascinated by a pretty moth, which after about five minutes I accidently stepped on and killed :(. Tragic way to start the morning and I was mortified by the whole thing until we got on the ferry and started heading for the Island. They have a market on in the center of town. Some amazingly delicious cheese and chocolate! We ate our way through the market and had a good time checking out some neat trinkets they had for sale. Ruth and I had made an attempt to learn Thai Chi in the park by following some people who had done it for years. Such strong yet delicately graceful movements are so relaxing for some odd reason. After Kaikelin introduced us to a neat restaurant called “The Tree House”. The mental image I had of this was a a giant tree with a restaurant up in the canopy. It turned out this restaurant was built around a tree! Which more sense then my own idea and looked very cool. Had some more delicious food along with some coffee and chit chatted the afternoon away. After wards we checked out a vineyard( vine tasting, yay!) and a lavender farm( really purple 0_0) .

On our way back home, I got a call from Mayhem about a BBQ. It turned out a trap to get us in to work on her backyard! We helped at little bit and then hid in the front yard till dinner was ready. Kind of mean but then again we weren’t expecting to work. I have found some pretty cool people to chill out with and am at this point baffling them with “beep-boop”.

Happy Belated Birthday to your little sister! Looks like you had quite a lot of fun! I will need more details soon-ish. So, this day has been dedicated to you. I found myself wishing you were here with us to enjoy this day. Miss you and see you soon!
