Whistler is a great place to visit, especially if you’re a tourist. There’s lots of shopping, food and a different way of live 2 hours by bus north of Vancouver. I went up to visit my brother and to catch one of the paralympic events at the Whistler Olympic Park. We had free tickets to … Continue reading Fresh air, snow, and mountains

Never too late for photos…
Just got back to Vancouver a couple of days ago and was able to catch a little Olympic fever. Yes, I’m a couple of weeks too late for the main event, but the Paralympic Games will be starting soon. I was in downtown Vancouver yesterday and even though weather wasn’t the greatest (i.e. rain, rain … Continue reading Never too late for photos…
L'amour…
It’s that time of the year again… where love is in the air, chocolates and flowers fly off the shelves of stores, and passion and romance peak…yep, it’s Valentine’s Day (Feb 14). If you’re wondering what all the fuss is about, Wikipedia and the History.com website might be able to enlighten you on the Day … Continue reading L'amour…
Going for a stroll
For some reason taking photos in Timor-Leste isn’t as relaxed as other places – well that’s what it seems for some of us amateur photographers. After spending over a year in Timor, I’ve chalked up approximately 5 rolls of film and probably a total of 500 photos from friends. To get out and take more … Continue reading Going for a stroll
Data Can Be Cool.
Anytime you hear the word “data” or “statistics”, the image of a geeky-looking guy (probably with a pocket protector) probably comes to mind. We’ve come a long way from this image and hopefully the idea that data is boring and only for nerdy people will change. Technology has come a long way to both help … Continue reading Data Can Be Cool.

Happy holidays for some
Tropical Cyclone Laurence hit Northern Australia this past week which also meant a bit of rain in Timor-Leste. Too bad it wasn’t raining to put out this fire… but then again people usually use this part of the street to burn trash… it’s not an uncommon sight… there isn’t really a systematic way to get … Continue reading Happy holidays for some
Flying – a great way to start a birthday!
Words can’t describe what a wonderful present I received from friends for my birthday. I was told to sleep early because I would have to wake up early the next day. Even though I knew it had to be something related to my birthday, I didn’t really expect much – at the most, it would … Continue reading Flying – a great way to start a birthday!
Greek Photos
I’ve just uploaded some photos from the Timor-Leste -> Bangkok -> Athens -> Santorini trip… You can check them out here. In case you haven’t read about why I went to Greece, you kind find the short blurb in my last post.
Wedding in Santorini
Just finishing up on our trip to Greece to attend my cousin’s wedding in Santorini…. I think I’ve had enough souvlaki, gyros, and greek salad for a life-time. The trip has had it’s ups and downs – the nauseous boat cruise, the historic Greek ruins, and the olive oil. But the highlight was definitely seeing … Continue reading Wedding in Santorini
