Fresh angles

It seems really odd to be writing this blog now. It feels like adding one more scene after the movie credits have already rolled. I mean, I’m back in Canada. That’s like neutral territory. I’ve been keeping this travel blog and now I’m not really traveling, not the same way. Why am I writing? What do you want to hear about? Hi, um, I got my taxes done this week and I found a good price on avocados? Okay, I guess there’s a little more going on than that. I came over to Bowen Island last weekend to stay for…

December miscellany from Tiruvannamalai

Dreaming of a what Christmas? All of December, I kept being confused by friends’ posts on Facebooks showing off their Xmas trees and talking about holiday plans, and inside I kept reacting with “already?!” There have been zero cues here for anything that sets off any kind of holiday spirit for me.

The flights on Air Asia were just shy of abysmal. I don’t expect a free meal on such a cheap flight, but charging for water is inhuman; even cattle in transport get free water occasionally. Not being able to put your seats back is pretty unpleasant on a four-hour flight (we were in…

A traveling companion, and a week of settling in

It’s almost the end of my third week in Bali, and there’s been lots of odds and ends to report. One was an inevitability: I got pretty sick last weekend, as one does in tropical places, the night after my horseback ride. I don’t really know exactly what it was I ate and can wave vaguely at a few possible suspects. My digestive system was in full revolt on Saturday night, and I spent all of Sunday weak and exhausted and mostly sleeping, but then Monday I was surprisingly chipper and back to normal, just being super, super cautious with…
