Back in CANADA!

After an adventurous and relaxing time in Thailand I am home. I was hoping to spend more time in SE Asia, but with the combination of being robbed in Bangkok (I am fine) and being really homesick, I decided to come back early. Yes, I am back in Calgary and damn it is cold and snowy. I arrived on March 28th after a 31 hour trip to get home. Ironically enough I had an 8 hour layover in Seoul on my way home from Thailand, which I spend keeping a 18 year old, new traveler from Calgary company. I wished that I slept on the journey, but my excitement and the offer of exciting, new, English movies kept me quite awake.

Now that I am back in Canada, I am adjusting to my life here again. I have not had too much jet lag and have been sleeping on a normal schedule since the night I arrived. I have experienced a little culture shock, but I have been hibernating mostly in my parent's house. I guess I have been spending time mostly with family, but will be meeting up with some friend next week. It has been difficult to to e-mail and update my blog, as my parents have no computer or Internet and I can't seem to get a free, wireless connection on my MAC here. So sorry to everyone I have been terrible at staying in contact with, but I am going to try to updates as much as possible.

As for today, I have been applying for jobs in Vancouver hoping to find something soon, so I can move where it is warm and beautiful. Calgary is too damn cold for me now. However, I am looking forward to Easter weekend and stuffing my face with more Western food. Yum, I have been eating like crazy, but going to Yoga with my mom to balance it all out. I will try to post some Calgary pictures when I get a chance. I will be off to visit my sister Kim in Cranbrook soon, so there should be some great, new pics then.

Take care everyone! :)

I am soooo very happy to have my little girl home safe and sound! I would love to keep her, but I guess she has to have a life of her own. I am so proud of you Lisa and all that you have accomplished. I know there are many more adventures ahead for you and I will always be here for you. Love you lots, Mom
