As my mind will one day wither to mush, I want to remember the moments that may mean little to you, but a lot of me and the people they took place with. I like my life best when I'm carefree and seeing the world on my own terms.
In chronological order, here is a list of eleven moments (oftentimes in quote form) from my travels around the world. On a cold winter's evening, it can be good to bask in the warm moments that excite you for the international adventures that 2011 may bring.
- "Stop Tappan zee bridge." - The Wong family road trip to NYC to ring in the NYE '06.
- "Off you go." - Herstmonceux Castle, England, May 2006: Happy Birthday Jayme Boyd.
- Sister Jackie Chan & "Cheapy, cheapy: almost free" - Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic, Feb 2008
- The beautiful Italian photographer taking a break from shooting a wedding party, drinking from a fountain on a street in Rome by the Forum - July 2008
- Gord Nixon's son (whose name I don't remember and the UES apartment I will never see) - NYC, May 2009
- Outdoor raves at the foot of Citadel hill - Budapest, Hungary, July 2009
- "I will kill your family." Cliff diving in Ios, Greece, August 2009
- Accidentally being elbow in the breast and laughing for a solid thirty seconds in hilarious pain while the girl behind the information desk awkward chuckles along - Akihabara station, Tokyo, June 2010
- Sitting on a park bench outside of the Hanoi Botanical Garden after refusing to pay 15,000 dong (<$1 CAD) to enter and watching people jog in 45+ degree weather. Then being confronted by what I think is a Vietnamese prosti-tot chewing sunflower seeds - Hanoi, Vietnam, July 2010
- Sprinting through the Venetian in record time. That's two Venetian resorts and not one trip yet to Venice proper - Macau, China (?) July 2010
- The Sunday pool party at the Shore Club; it's like being on a reality show made of douche - South Beach, Miami, September 2010
Where are we going this year?
