Toronto & Vancouver


I couldn't believe that my Toronto trip was over and I continued my travelling in Vancouver.

I had a mixed feeling in my Toronto trip. It's good in a way to see the city again and my friends again. The city is not much different. I picked up my memory here and there when I walked around the streets in the city. Toronto Island is still peaceful, amazing and I met a friendly little black cat who was fond of me on Ward's Island. She's in front of the B&B and waited people to give her some attention.

There were some B&Bs around but I could only imagine only the old people would live there.

I'm a bit surprised that my friend's family stay calm over my friend's sickness. And I feel a bit worried that she doesn't have the medication at all. I remember I cried a few times when my mom broke her arms and I hated to show my feeling in front of her, but I just feel sad thinking how my friend has to go through all this and how hard it is for her family. Anyway, nothing I can do and just hope for the best.

So, about Vancouver! It's an unattractive city. I felt so safe after leaving the airport and easily found my way to the hotel. I'm surprised the hotel is much better than I expected despite all those bad comments on the website.

Then I walked to the notorious Hasting Streets. I tried not to pass the East Hastings at the very beginning but I still started to see homeless people and weirdos all over from one street further. Wow... people took drugs in the back alley so openly. As I walked here and there and I realised the weirdos are not only in Gastown or Chinatown. How come? These people are of all ages, of all sexes and everywhere. Now I find Toronto is a much better city than the West Coast. Of course, Montreal is still my favourite.

I hope I will change how I feel after I see Stanley Park some other days.

Dynamic Change of Media Landscape

Newspapers and magazines do not operate the same way as it used to be. Editorial content was considered to be a very important asset for attracting advertising. Some years ago, I saw some chief editors call corporations and PR consultants for advertising, taking up some of the roles of an account manager. In recent years, more newspapers and magazines judge on whether corporations place ads on their publications before placing any stories on them. An English newspaper here used to run editorial video stories but a recent layoff dramatically cut the resources and made its online team to do "sponsored video interviews" only. That makes the team very commercial and almost gives up their reporting work. Even I'm one of their sponsors, I feel sad. But things have never been the same. Should you quit or stay? I guess that the team might not be there some months later. On the contrary, more Chinese newspapers have been adding video news stories, 100% editorial content. Can they...

Alfresco Dining

The weather is so unpredictable in New Zealand. In the morning and at night it can be below 10°C,  while in the afternoon it is hot like summer at 26°C. The wind direction plays a big role when it comes to the actual temperature. The forecast said 17°C, but I was wrapped head to toe in winter clothes on this summer day.   The sun is always so bright that sunglasses have become essential. If you put your feet in the water on the beach, it is not so bad, but the further you go towards the sea, the colder it gets and the waves get bigger.  In late spring, the temperatures are usually perfect for having a coffee and eating outdoors. Find a beautiful lake, a farm overlooking with snowy mountains, a beach, a pier, or even a park, to lie down and stretch those aching muscles. Bring some chairs to your favourite garden, sit down with a friend and happily have a bite of good sandwiches, apples, and cheese.  I enjoy the luxury of being so close to nature on my travels. It...

Agricultural Show

  The agriculture show resumed in Christchurch, New Zealand after a two-year hiatus. This show has put a lot of emphasis on sustainability with its online advertising although the plastic cups and plates have not yet been replaced with better solutions. However, the organiser claimed that they sourced local and climate-friendly partners, used recycled and decomposted materials as much as possible, and of course donated materials to the community after the show.  I'm glad to lear that such efforts were made to protect the environment.  I absolutely love saying hello to a variety of sheep, cattle, and horses at the show. The food stalls were of great variety and good quality. The selection was excellent throughout the day. There were lots of fun competitions such as gumboot throwing, wood chopping, and educational stalls on recycling aimed at families and serious workers. I hope there will be more shuttle buses and signages in the future.
