Tomorrow we’ll be strolling around town, taking in the sights and sounds of the city.

Well, has it ever been an eventful past 24 hours. As some of you may have gathered by now, our vehicle, that majestic (yet lethargic) Dodge Caravan, is now a heap of useless metal, filled with random trinkets and alot of uncooked rice. Yesterday, as we were driving out of town to our staging area [...]
Never ending hills, incredibly unpredictable weather, and smiling faces. That was our Newfoundland. Although we spent but a week in Canada’s newest province, it was an eventful one for all concerned. Day one: food poisoning, Day two: car breaks down, Day three: freak snow storm, Day four: our truck stop doesn’t exist, Day six: run [...]
What an eventful first couple days it has been. Day One: Yoon-Sik and Myself wake up with food poisoning after having our “last meal” and watching Sidney Crosby return in spectacular fashion.

November 13th. That’s the day we leave Vancouver, bound for St. John’s in a car; Only to depart St. Johns a few days later, heading home to Vancouver on a bicycle. It’s exciting times to say the least, and it truly is crunch time. I always envisioned this as a race against time, one where [...]
Hope. By far it is the most powerful thing in the world. It can inspire, encourage, and light the path ahead. It can change any situation, from something truly dire, to something with the potential for brilliant success. Over the past couple weeks, we have hit our fair share of obstacles. Unresponsive potential sponsors, the [...]
Things are picking up, and as they do I get more excited and nervous by the second. An adventure like this isn’t just exciting or challenging, its absolutely terrifying. That said, I can’t say I’d rather be doing anything else. Over the past week we’ve been attempting to secure further sponsorship, funding, and more equipment; [...]
LOVE IS BETTER THAN ANGER. HOPE IS BETTER THAN FEAR. OPTIMISM IS BETTER THAN DESPAIR. – Jack Layton He may have been the greatest Prime Minister we never had. He was certainly a hero to Canadians, and indeed the world. A true fighter, incredible individual, and exceptionally brave man, Jack Layton will forever be [...]
