This is an account from 2012 (approximately), the first time I visited the Waugh street bridge was with my parents on our way to Austin for my a family wedding. Needless to say, the experience was long, but necessary. We drove for about 2 days, and spent about a week in the states overall. We left Canada from the border of Buffalo, New York. We were travelling with a family car, sedan. nothing breath-taking, but quite relaxing and comfortable for the kind of drive we were doing. Nearly a decade later, my family (now including my wife) returned, only this time we were arriving in Austin to visit my Uncle and Aunt after the birth of their first son (figure 1and 2). This was my wife's first time visitng the United States. (Figure 1, Sam, Carm and Lily) (Figure 2, Carm and Lily) All the trip and details aside, I wanted to take a moment to recognize the nature of this place in Austin Texas. This particular bat colony is one of the biggest in North America, (see included images fo...
Where in the world can you see tigers, Siberian tigers, lion tigers (ligers) and even white tigers?! Well, for starters, china and Russia. Yes,! In china, mainly the north, there are Siberian tigers, the thing about these beautiful and endangered species of mammal or big cat, is that they reside in a conservatory park. This is known by expats as the Siberian Tiger Park in Haerbin. The place the live is hot in summer and Thunder Bay sort of cold in the winter, by that I mean, the cold is quite dry to many other places, the feeling is such, you can get warm, and when you are warm you stay warm.

The tiger park lows for amazing pictures, real life experience and the opportunity for people to bond between nations over the fascination of beauty that a certain creature has. The tours are started in a bus through the park, you feel like you are in Jurassic park and like if the bus dies...well so will you. The people you are travel...
A fever of 103.5 Fahrenheit, what do you do; you are in china, fairly alone, feel like you can overcome it but start to get kind of worries because it has been getting worse? Last night I took my chances and made my first and hopefully last visit to the emergency room here in jinshitan, it is on the barbecue street just around the corner from Suzan's. I had this angelic and incredibly sweet nurse Lushun who took right good care of me, she help me get everything I needed and got me comfortably hooked up to the healing process. I still don't fully understand what I have, probably the flu, and I still don't know what was in the iv or shots I got, meh, next day I am in my own bed and bl feeling a but better, granted I felt a bit better the first time I got this fever and took a rest :s Stupid sickness screwed up my last get together with my girlfriend before she leaves for Florida today, she was having none of it, she said I wasn't allowed to cook with such a high fever las...
