Today is a bit of an anniversary for me. Ten years ago today I left Canada to head to Australia for a year on a working holiday visa. While that trip seems like ancient history the last leg of it, two nights in Hong Kong, changed the way I saw the world. It motivated me to get my degree so I could go out and see the world. Well ten years later and I've hit 11 countries and lived in three.
Anyway, to honour that I drank a VB
but no Carleton Draught was to be found
Anyway, I hadn't actually remember it until last night and it came back. I remember I had all of June 1st in Hong Kong airport. Just my luck, the free internet had been suspended from May 31st. Hard to believe it was so long ago actually.
Before that time I had thought California was exotic (I didn't get on an airplane until I was 14, and it was to Los Angeles). I walked around thinking "palm trees? How can I be somehwere with palm trees?" Well I was only 14.
Anyway, a neat moment to look back on those 10 years. Some good, some not so much, but always fun. I am also happy to note that I actually feel better and happier now than I did then, so obviously whatever I am doing works.
