Having been introduced to the joy of jumping photos in York, I now find it hard to keep my feet on the ground for very long, so Kelsey and I went and jumped in front of the Olympic Cauldron.

The Top 7 Ways to Die in Canada
7. Frisbee golf
Apparently this is a sport here. Frisbee golf. For real. It raises a lot of questions. And also a whole new area of hazard.
6. Cyclists
Well, I wasn't expecting to be hit be a cyclist today... But now I kind of am.
5. Ski lifts
Well, this looks safe.
4. Forest fires
I really feel like this should be a bigger sign.
3. Falling rocks
Oh good, unpreventable death from above. My favourite kind of death.
2. BEARS
I'm sorry, there's a what now?
And the number one way I'm likely to die in Canada, the land of frisbee golf, two-wheeled death, treacherous ski lifts, forest fires, death from above, and loose bears?
1. Crossing the road
The cars keep coming from the wrong side. And they are going to kill me.

Jet Lag and Self-Portraits
Jet lag is not my friend. A combination of the eight hour time difference and not having had a proper night's sleep in about two months is making it hard to have the energy to go adventuring. But I persevere, because I am an ADVENTURER. An adventurer who takes daily naps and goes to bed at 8pm, but an adventurer nonetheless.
Anyway, when I'm awake to see it - and, no doubt, when I'm not - Vancouver is beautiful and sometimes sunny and full of pirates and tiny dogs.

The Illicit Satsuma
Hey look, I'm in Vancouver!
I've been planning to get to Canada and the States for years, and I finally decided that now, when I have time and a little money right after my degree, was the time to go. Sure, I've had no time to plan (thanks to my dissertation) and haven't had a proper night's sleep in two months (ditto), but whatever, EXCITING AWESOME ADVENTURE. Right after I take another nap.
Until two days ago, the extent of my planning was messaging my North American friends to let them know I was coming, and booking a one-way ticket to Vancouver. No travel money, no other plans, nothing. Thanks a lot, dissertation.

Finish and Klaar
The beast is vanquished. I have moved back out of the library (and now out of my room, too). We now return to your (ir)regularly scheduled blogging.
