So, I’m back in Canada. My PC is still set to Turkish time, I have one watch with Toronto/Montreal time, another in Vancouver time (not surprisingly, the one I’m wearing).
Somehow, I feel like I’m straddling a number of time zones, jet lag is only somewhat at bay as I’m adjusting to the 8 to […]

Oh well, the flight over was pleasant enough, and […]
Well, I’m in Budapest, which is beautiful and cosmopolitan, and comparably expensive to most of the places I’ve been. I suppose this is not a surprise considering where I have been. This city has a magic to it, the people are friendly, and while this is probably one another area where speaking English without […]
