Map generated by interactivemaps.org. I was looking for an application that could do cities also (that didn’t require me to sign up for a blog) but didn’t have any luck.
So above is a map of the countries I’ve visited thus far, and all of my travel has been in the past eight years (since I turned 21). The last big adventure was Europe 2004, and in 2006-2007 I travelled to India (specifically Bangalore, now apparently using its traditional name Bangaluru, with a brief visit to the Golden Triangle the last time I was there), Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Atlanta Georgia (Alpharetta to be precise) for work.
The past twelve months has seen me exploring Canada (mainly places around Toronto including Ottawa and Montreal), Cuba and New York City.
360 Panorama at Beijing 2008
This is a really cool 360-degree panorama taken at the Beijing Olympics.
You can use your mouse to move up-down-left-right. So cool!
Sunrise Biking
After getting to bed at 12:30am, four hours later I was up and on my bike. Yes, I’m insane.
Actually I joined three other insane people, after stopping by a gas station to pump up my flat back tire, downtown at McCaul and College Streets for a sunrise bike ride.
We rode through University of Toronto, through the Philosopher’s Walk, then headed East on Bloor past the Royal Ontario Museum, onto the Prince Edward Viaduct bridge where we stopped for the sunrise.
After admiring the brilliance of a radiant morning sun we rode to Tim Hortons on Parliament Street for a quick coffee, and then to Riverdale Park/Farm where we parted ways.
I then took a leisurely ride home, stopping at a couple of parks to watch the early risers performing their morning ritual of tai chi at Riverdale Park East and Withrow Park. Before arriving home I got some banking done and bought some groceries all before 10am. Wow this has got to be the most productive Saturday I’ve had in a long time!
It was DEFINITELY worth getting up at 4:30am for!
Saltimbanco
After a 15 year hiatus Cirque Du Soleil returned to Toronto. I was fortunate enough to catch the show last night at the Air Canada Centre with Neesa and her brother. This was my 3rd Cirque Du Soleil show (I saw Quidam in 2004 and Verekai in 2006, both in Sydney) and as always it was a feast for the senses!
