Tidbits

  • Sleepover at Ikea - Maybe this is the only way to get to the $1 early enough…

  • A ramen bath - Japanese spa with special baths resembling instant noodles.  I wanna play!

  • Old age homes for dogs - 1) Old dogs don’t like to be abandoned at strange places.  2) Playing with young puppies will probably cause the older dogs to die faster due to exhaustion.

  • A remote-controlled pigeon - Oh the poor thing…

  • An article on a brilliant method of teaching grade schoolers about bats and rabies.  I smell a lawsuit.

  • Will trade beer for Crumpler bags.  Tempted by the beanbag and messenger bags…

Our flight left Toronto on Wed, at 5 pm.  A snow storm appeared out of nowhere the night before, and flights started being…

One day international business trips sorta sucks

August 29, 2008 | Travels, Work |

So finally went on my first official business trip last week and I have to say, unless you can spend the weekend there at your own leisure, it’s not particularly fun.  The schedule was like this: 3 am wake up, 3:30 pick up by coworker.  Arrived at airport at…
