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.

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...

Cameron Highlands - tea, tea plantations, clouds, tea leaves, some more tea

I decided my next stop would be the Cameron Highlands which is in central peninsular Malaysia. The elevation there is a lot higher so it was nice to cool down a little but from the heat that I have been used to every where else. One of the main attractions is the tea plantations. From here you can buy a cup of tea and watch them from the balcony harvesting the tea leaves and throwing them in a basket on their back. Some very nice views. You can also go walk among the tea fields where we tried cutting some leaves. Very nice balcony at the cafe. The other thing that people do is go to the look out point which is at the tallest mountain in Malaysia (so all the signs said) When we got there we discovered that it was super foggy so we couldn't really see much.   And here are some clouds that I thought were interesting enough at the time to take a picture of. On the way back to town we found ourselves becoming extras in a Mal...

Pai - Updated with pictures

I like Pai. (pronounced "bpai", say the b and the p together) Its a quiet little town, not very big, which is good cause I seem to get lost here a lot. It's a really interesting dynamic here. Everyone is super chill. all the locals just mozy around or hangout at their shops. There are lots of westerners (hippies) that seem to have just moved here. And then there are the tourists. Only the good ones though, none of the people who are just in Thailand to party (everyone in Bangkok). About every other store/stand that you see here is a T-shirt shop. They all have various shirts saying things like "Love is Pai" and "762 turns to Pai". Basically everything here celebrates that you made it to and are in Pai. All the restaurants and guesthouses have "Pai" in their name. "Pai Country" "Pai Love" "Pai Cabana". its really fun and everyone here jokes around. There's all the cheap hostels in the city but then in...
