I'm back!

Hey guys,

Sorry for the (massive) lack of updates as of late... life's been very hectic! Anyway, Dawna and I have officially moved to Masan, South Korea to teach English... and we've opened up a(nother) blog up at dawnagilad.blogspot.com!

Add the blog to your bookmarks as it's the main blog I'll probably be updating from...

And thanks to all for the well-wishes on this journey of ours... it's helped us along the way.

mmm, life

Okay, so this is *ideally* how I'd like the next few years of my life to work out.

1. Go to South Korea with Dawna in August 07 for a year and return in August 08. Our time there would have paid off our university debts and made us some extra bucks.

2. Upon returning to Canada, live somewhere with Dawna until January/February of 09. The time here would be spent with me working full-time somewhere and saving up some cash. I'll also be training for my cross-Canada walk/bike-ride with Bryson.

3. Fly out somewhere east with Bryson (either Nova Scotia or Newfoundland) and start the walk right after we touch the Atlantic Ocean.

4. Walk/bike ride across Canada starting in January or February of 09. *Hopefully* wrap up the journey somewhere around June or July of 2009 in British Columbia by taking a dive into the Pacific Ocean.

5. Find a way home (probably fly) to Ontario, spend a week or so here and then fly out to El Salvador to learn Spanish at the Escuela Guazapa. Dawna and Sasha would have been here for a month or two already, and I would have joined them on the whole thing. Spend 6mo-1year in El Salvador.

6. After El Salvador, move back to Canada and get my Masters Degree (either in Ottawa, or somewhere in BC) in International Development, or something similar.

7. Get married somewhere.

This of course, can change anytime.

Walking, walking, walking

Okay, it's official. Bryson and I are walking across Canada in Spring 2009 (although this might change). We are starting out in the East and ending up in the West.

Wow!

Holy crap, I'm engaged! This... is... awesome.

Exciting Times in Waterloo

So I'm here in Waterloo and Bryson is at work. This means I'm here at his apartment... by myself.

So let me guide you through a little story called "Entertaining Oneself."


I'm Bored :(



Oh wait, I found my 4th Corona!



Is that the Hookah Dawna bought me from India? Should I smoke some of this non-intoxicating heavenly substance?



I sure should!



Mmm, bliss in the form of delicious smoke!



I'm so not bored! :)


... and repeat for 3 hours till Bryson gets home.

Greetings from Canada!

Hey, apologies for the lack of updates about the Venezuela trip. I got back to Canada a few days ago and am still settling in, but as soon as I get a chance and get all the pictures uploaded (within a week), I'll update with all the stories.

But in other (bigger) news, Dawna and I are officially engaged! It happened yesterday and we're both ecstatic! Once again, i'll post more details surrounding the situation within the week.

All I can say is that I'm really happy right now. Now to just let my mom know about the non-Jewish woman I plan on marrying. Uh oh.
