Home!

I'm home!
actually ive been home for a while now
I was planning on coming home on the 14th of April and I wasnt going to tell anyone and i was going to wait for my mom at arrivals because she was going to Toronto to visit my sister.
I told a couple close friends and of course almost everyone ended up finding out.
While hanging out at my friends place I decided that although it was amazing there and the beach was wonderful i decided to see if i could make it back a bit early.
I changed my flight for $15 dollars and was heading home on the 9th.
I took an overnight bus back to Bangkok and spent one night there before flying out.
The day i was set to leave i decided that i couldnt stand that city any longer so i left for the airport 5 hours early. While waiting in line to see if i could drop my bag early they asked if i was travelling alone at the baggage check. I said yes and he asked if he could move me to an earlier flight because the one i was supposed to take later would be delayed and i would miss my stopover in Hong Kong. I said of course and i got a security escort right through the airport all the way to my seat on the plane. We took off a few min later and everything was great.
I hung out in Hong Kong airport for 4 hours and then hopped on a plane again had some dinner and then fell asleep. when I woke up i think i was somewhere over Alaska so I slept mostly the whole flight. After some breakfast is was a couple hours and then we landed in Vancouver.
As we came into the city we did a big loop around and it amazed me. So many lights and everything was so clean and organized.
It felt so amazing to be home, i literally couldnt stand still while i had to wait in the line for customs and what not.
When i stepped outside i forgot how nice and clean the air was.
i took the skytrain home and then a taxi from the station to a couple blocks away from my house and then walked the rest of the way.
I went to the front door and rang the doorbell and my surprised parents greeted me.
The next few days were spent going around to all my close friends houses and surprising them because no one knew i was in the country!

Even though im home and it feels amazing i will keep updating with videos and memories and other little things that i find interesting.

Thanks for following, its meant so much to me to know that while i was gone there was people at home who put the effort in to keep up with what i was doing.

Chiang Mai to Huay Xai

I've decided that I'm done with Thailand for now. From the hostel we signed up for a mini van to take us to Chiang Kong, the border town for Laos, and see what we could get up to there. We lucked out on the van and got the seats right at the front so we got a whole bunch of leg room. So it was Nisha, Selena, & I and then the rest of the van was filled with 8 other guys from the UK and the driver. This was one of the best road travel trips I have had so far. The driver let one of the guys plug in his ipod so we were listening to more western tunes and we had the most random conversations the whole time. Along the way the first rest stop we went to was part of a cashew nut factory. I was really surprised how big the fruit was and how small the nut you got was. Inside there was a huge room with samples of all different flavours of cashew nuts and of course i tried them all and didnt buy anything. The next stop we made was at the white temple.

Bali - Ubud and Kuta

Bali is beautiful I wish that we could have spent more time there but we ended up getting stuck on gili. To make up we spent 3 nights in a place called Ubud and did a day tour where we saw soooo much. We saw a traditional Balinese dancing. it was really cool cause there was no instruments. The men who were seated all around chanted and made a whole bunch of different sounds it sounded like there was music coming from all around you. They also made the setting by changing how they were sitting and moving around. at one point they turned into a snake that was transformed from an arrow that was shot by the evil king. afterword there was a man who was dressed as a horse danced around on burning coconut husks. i didnt really understand the reasoning but it was impressive all the same. We went to a bunch of different temples which were all very intricate. Harvested some rice with some old ladies who tried to charge me for it after. The s...

Than Tan Hotsprings - Hue

After an over night bus to the city Hue from Hanoi and checking into a hostel me and some people who were on the Halong Bay tour with me decided that we should do something with our day and that we were going to go to one of the hot springs just outside the city. We asked the lady that worked at our hostel and she said that she could book a taxi for us. We decided that we could get one cheaper somewhere else so we wandered down the street only to find out that we couldnt. So we went back to her and asked for the taxi again. 10 min later a minibus came to pick us up. We thought it would be better anyways because some taxi's cant be trusted and thought this was a safer option. The drive there was really long. we went through little villages and many dirt road. 45 min later we arrived at the hot springs. I read online that there would be some sort of entrance fee which we were fine with but once inside the building by the gate we thought something was off when it said it was 170...
