by Bertha on 09. Feb, 2008 in Canada 2006, Travel
It’s Annual Fly By Night Theatre show is coming up. I mentioned this last year when Adam surprised me by taking me there. It’s great entertainment with some amazing aerial feats! It’s also the same people Charlene and I took our Tast of the Circus class with. Fly By Night an evening of music, magic, […]
Oil Kings
by Bertha on 03. Jan, 2008 in Canada 2006, Travel
Last night Charlene and I went to see the Oil Kings in action. They are the Junior team that plays at Rexall and their tickets are pretty cheap (although Northlands still charges you 10.00 to park!). We sat in row 5 for $30.00. I was surprised by how young these guys are. 16 year olds! […]
Addicted to Facebook?
by Bertha on 27. Nov, 2007 in Canada 2006, Travel
I seem to spend a lot of time after work checking out everything on Facebook. This social networking site sends me emails about the things that people have done thereby compelling me to log in and snoop at what everyone’s doing. I upload pictures and get to see and trade pictures with others. The best […]
Birthday Party Plans
by Bertha on 17. Nov, 2007 in Canada 2006, Travel
I’m wondering if anyone would come this year. It’s been a quiet year in terms of my university friends getting together. I haven’t planned many events and am wondering if anyone will come now that a long time has past…
Akihabara
by Bertha on 13. Oct, 2007 in Japan 2007, Travel
Back in Tokyo and we stopped off on our last whole day in the Akihabara region where all the electronics come cheaply. It was very busy with neon signs and hawkers and many advertised Duty Free. We walked into a small alleyway market with tons of little transitors and other electronic gagety thingies that would […]
Kyoto by Bike
by Bertha on 11. Oct, 2007 in Japan 2007, Travel
I got to Kyoto station about 4 hours earlier than everyone else and so I stored my bag in one of the lockers and wandered around the station and area since the LP said that it:s worth a look. Well, the Skywalk across the top of the station was a dissappointment because you couldn’t look […]
Okayama and Kurashiki
by Bertha on 09. Oct, 2007 in Japan 2007, Travel
I took the train from Tokyo station to Okayama on the super express to meet up with my friend. After getting picked up from the station, he took me around to see the sights briefly before we went to his grandmother`s restaurant for dinner. It`s a small restaurant with many regulars so it was pretty […]
Vicki`s Wedding Party
by Bertha on 08. Oct, 2007 in Japan 2007, Travel
Vicki`s wedding was really neat. Since everything starts basically on time here, hers was punctual too. Unfortunately for me, I jumped into a cab with a driver without GPS or any concept on how to read the map to the wedding even though it:s supposed to only be a 3 minute cab ride. My 15 […]
Harajuku
by Bertha on 05. Oct, 2007 in Japan 2007, Travel
So, yesterday the 5 of us wandered to Love Hotel Hill near Shibuya where we are staying and saw some interestingly colourful “hotels” where you rent rooms by the hour or by the night… Japanese people sometimes use them to crash if they have drunk too much and can`t make it home. The windows have […]
