A colorful day!

The event was "Wacky outfit day" I believe, and we saw a few.


Amy's flute debut.

As we all know, Amy's not just a pretty face. Witty, intelligent, and humorous, she also plays the flute. Amy joined The Taylor's orchestra and played the flute for a performance called All That Music. Four nights on a musical journey. After a nine plus year hiatus, her performance was very impressive.

Vietnam

These shots from Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Cat Ba speak for themselves.
The job interview for this company is quick and simple,
one question.

Imagine our Canadian infrastructure electrical safety techniciens, touring this area. Ouch! 
 That ladder is made of bamboo poles.
                                       
Those little rolled up packages were an awesome snack. Sticky rice I think it was called. And this lady was so nice.
 That's talent. After taking this shot, I yelled 'HUGE SNAKE', he looked down and all the beggars ate for free.
 Our hotel view.
Below are remanents of the American war at the Cu Chi tunnels located approximately 70km northwest of Ho Chi Minh City centre in Cu Chi Rural District.  The Americans ate their karma in those tunnels for waging illicit war against women, children, senior citizens, food supplies, agriculture and the very fabric of the Vietnamese culture.
                               
 Traffic...and this was light.

I'm a Millionaire...TWICE

I was a millionaire twice in Vietnam. It was awesome. No kidding, look at the picture. Five hundred thousand...times 2. Read em and weep baby. Every time I went to the ATM, I brought an empty bag to carry the load.
One Canadian dollar is equal to 19,000.00 dong. Dahhhhhhhh!

Penang staff trip...very nice!

Our employer, Taylor's, sent us on our second, all expenses paid weekend trip. This time we enjoyed Penang which is situated in the north-west section of Malaysia. We crossed a 13.5 km long bridge to reach Penang. The bridge is called the Penang Bridge...imagine that! I met my twin in Penang.

A bit of meditation in Penang. The Buddha behind me was tickling the back of my neck. I had a tough time staying focused on my meditation word which was "tickle". I think Buddha read my mind.
The head of a turtle sticking out of the water. A nice "zoomed" photo.  Isn't he cute?
Yeah...I'm note quite sure what's going on here. Is it a team building event? Are they posing for photos? Are they playing turtle rugby? Or is it a mating match? However, it was a cool shot.

More Canada! I love my Home & Native

To BBQ or not BBQ, that was the dilemma! Getting behind a BBQ after spending a year in Malaysia's heat...ouch! I really had to think about that...course I was hungy after flying for 20 hours; my arms were tired, and I had built up quite an appetite, with Amy on my shoulders the whole way.
Some pictures are simply awesome and this is one of them. Scott and Peyton happily bonding!

Mitchell the Halo King!

Canada...home again! Ahhhhhhh

Melinda, Jazz and Ella.
M & M, hanging out.
Kim and Amy; best friends for ever and ever amen! What an  awesome friendship they enjoy. And they're cute too!
Amy's first sip of Timmy's Coffee after a full year without it. The fella in the car directly behind her, was looking at her as though she was nuts...until I explained that we had been out of our 'Home and Native' for a year, then he sighed and completly understood.
I think my sister was happy to see us back in Canada!
Awwwwwww...what a nice auntie and a sweet baby!


Lexie, our up and coming beautiful Canadian...

They made me wear this or I couldn't get any food. 
...Yeah ok, I vote for Lexie, she's much prettier.
