Filling out forms and forms and more forms
Back in February I wrote about Visa Sponsorship but have just now seriously started the process. I guess procrastinating has won, but I can’t afford to wait any more. My friend Ed has told me several times that filling out the forms and getting... read on
Ottawa bloggers meeting and other Wednesday News
Yesterday was a good day for me. I had a relaxing start to the day which involved packing my stuff up and getting out of the hole that was the University of Ottawa dorm rooms. I have a blog post in draft about it, but haven’t decided if I should... read on

Why Ottawa?
In comments to my posts here on facebook (posts are imported as notes in facebook) I’ve been asked a couple of times “Why Ottawa?” This is a good question and one that I don’t have an exact reason for.
Ottawa is not Winnipeg. I grew up in... read on
Planning for the move - fortuitous meeting with Ed
On my way home this morning from a morning class I ran into a friend I haven’t seen in sometime. Ed is also moving back to Canada, Calgary, in the near future and is further along in the process than I am. We stopped to talk over coffee and I am... read on
Why am I repatriating to Canada?
I’ve been living in South Korea since May 1997 and am for the most part quite happy with my life here. I’ve got a stable job with more vacation and free time than you can shake a stick at. I work 4 day weeks and have 20 weeks of vacation a year.... read on
