Follow me through one of the biggest adventures (and risks) I have taken yet in my life. I've quit my job, sold my shit and am bound for Canada with a suitcase, a backpack and the little money I could scrape together in the past few months.

I’m back from the dead (where I didn’t have access to an internet connection would you believe) to share my erotic weekend with you.. When a friend I like to call ‘P-DiddyDumDrum’ invited me to attend a Rocky Horror Picture Show themed party I was reluctant at first as I take some convincing to get in costume at the best of times, let alone when it’s a Adult / Fetesh / Kinky nightclub that we’re attending. As good procrastinators tend to do, I left my costume until the very last day resulting in a half done & half assed costume, but of which I was overall pretty happy with as I was the only one in the group of 4 of us going, that wasn’t showing off a lot of skin, so much so that I risked wearing black jeans with my get-up. After a few solid Pre-Drinks I was ready to hit the club, one thing I wasn’t ready for however was the door security telling me Denim was not allowed and that i’d have to take my pants off to gain entry. With some white lies and false promises I managed to avoid doing so, I just didn’t see Blue Satin boxers with Donkeys on them really fitting the theme. Overall, great night, too many drinks and I would recommend attending an event like this to anyone, but probably best left for those of who have an open mind as there were some interesting costumes, scary people & a fair amount of T & A on display. That is all.

Please note: This is now old news, I have been too lazy to update this before now Locals do not consider this snow but it sure as hell wasn’t god’s pubic dandruff, so I’m calling it snow! For more photos of the little amount of snow and other Canada photos see my flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/bobbylisle

Different to home

As requested by Campbell (otherwise known as C-Drizzle) a bunch of photo’s that show some of the day to day differences between Australia & Canada.

Okay it’s just a light switch, but the messed up part is, this is the switch in an OFF position.. That’s right, you have to flick it UP to turn it on.. WHAT??


Not only are the flusher handles different, the water levels are strange, they are almost full to the top with water.. as a guy, your balls could almost go for a dip.


Not only do we not get this car in Australia, we do not stupidly put the steering wheel on the wrong side of the car (duh! silly Americans!)


This is a domesticated Brown Bear, most households have them as pets


The view from our front yard, ironically I never had this back home and I lived in a suburb called MOUNT Waverley.


The power sockets, of course different, but this shot taken to show the strange ‘double adapter’ that makes two normal points become 6, very clever eh?

Yeah okay, I don’t have a job yet, but don’t judge me.. I haven’t really been trying (now you know that, feel free to judge all you like) But, in all seriousness, I have been applying for a few jobs almost every day, I’ve been pleasantly surprised in the amount of design jobs coming up on Craigslist on a daily basis. On top of that, the amount of replies I have had has been pretty damn good compared to what I am used to in Melbourne where I could apply for 50 jobs and be lucky to hear back from just one. Anyway, time to get serious, funds are running low, debts back home still need to be paid and well, I WANT TO STAY!! So expect some celebration in days / weeks to come as I get myself a job.

The Ferret named Zoey… I had never met a ferret ‘in person’ before, and didn’t really know what to expect, perhaps similar to the rats that Nic and I used to have, only a little more awkward? It seems I was wrong, these little buggers are smart! Anyways, long story short, April (whom I am staying with) decided it was time for her to purchase another ferret (like she’d had many years ago) so we made a trip to the pet store where they had just one baby ferret left. They all seemed to adore her and said she’s one of the most friendly ferrets they’ve had come in, after a little bit of playing and snuggling, the deal was done, April had to have her! She’s just 10 weeks old and weighs around .6 kgs. She’s pretty well toilet trained and can be carried around in public without any problems.. What an awesome pet!! Anyways, just thought I would keep everyone informed of what’s entertaining me here these days :) For more photo’s see - http://www.flickr.com/photos/bobbylisle/sets/72157622958199007/

It seems I came to Vancouver 1 year too late, as last year, they had snow up to thier eyeballs (literally) where as this year, it has only snowed for a few days of winter (just weeks before I arrived). Never fear, there is snow near by, and although I haven’t made my way up to enjoy it yet, I can see it by just walking 1 minute around the corner from the where I am staying. I promised you photo’s of the snow, so here it is.. now stop complaining!

Finally, I am becoming the tourist that my camera suggests I am. We (Myself, April & Linda) decided it was time for me to see some more of Canada’s natural beauty and Linda was kind enough to do the driving. Not even 30 minutes from where I am staying we arrived at Lynn Valley Park to check out the suspension bridge and do a bit of general good old fashioned sight seeing. The place was amazing.. the water is so damn blue & transparent! I hope this is just the beginning of my explorations and that I soon get some nice snow photos for you folks back home.

Stop. It’s Trendy Time. Being on a tight budget as I am, I thought what better time to try ‘being trendy’ then now? I guess there are many versions of trendy, but in this case, to tie in with my budget, I am referring to vintage clothes.. hunt through the op-shops for that tragic item of clothing that when put in the right combination could just be considered AWESOME! So here are my first purchases, the green 70s jacket and tan coloured shirt under it. But the Vans, sorry to say, were not such a bargain.. after breaking my DC’s at the airport on my way here, I needed to replace my daily walkers. That is all.

Home Sweet Home…. Well, not quite. After having a few teething issues with the swipe card system they use in my hostel, I decided to just knock on the door to my room, I was let in by a guy skyping on his laptop, he acted a little like I was interrupting his important business call with his mum, just to find out, my card wasn’t working because I was actually trying to enter the wrong damn room! After a moment of embarrassment, I said fairwell to my mum loving business man and moved my crap across the hall to my new home, decked out with a basin, mirror, lockers and 4 single bunks WOO HOO! After sleeping for over 12 hours, I awoke to the sound of conflict between roomies, it went as follows: Guy1: ‘Why must you tap tap tap and keep me wake while im trying to sleep’Guy2: ‘Dude, it is 12.30pm and you are in a Hostel’Guy1: ‘Yea, but I didn’t get to sleep all night.. you could be more considerate’Guy2: ‘I am hardly making a lot of noise, I am just typing on my laptop..’Guy1: (sarcasm) ‘Sure, you’re right.. you’re a great guy’ [STORMS OUT OF ROOM] Oh Hostels, gotta love ‘em

Australia : Out

The day has come, I have managed to sell, give away or loan all of my personal belongings other than the few items I could squeeze into a backpack & suitcase. What am I taking? Not much!

2 Hoodies, a few pairs of jeans, 10 or so tshirts, 2 pairs of shoes, a laptop and a book or two, that’s it! Oh, and of course my hard drives containing work files and most importantly, a shite-load of movies!

My flight leaves tomorrow around midday, so next time I fire up this beasty old laptop, it will not be overheating due to ridiculous night time temperatures, instead, my fingers will be too frozen to type on it.

See ya on the cold side!
