The morning class was an easy Flow/Hatha – but it was the hardest Warrior II I’ve experienced. I think it was the fact that the teacher took the time to explain the alignments and postures in great detail. This was not only helpful as a student, but also as a teacher myself, trying to learn Read more about Nectar Yoga B&B on Bowen Island – Day 3[…]
I didn’t sleep much, but that’s not because of anything to do with the B&B. I just don’t sleep well when I don’t have my own bed. Since I finally fell asleep past 3 am, I slept through 2 of my alarms and woke 10 min before the morning meditation/yoga class. I quickly got ready Read more about Nectar Yoga B&B on Bowen Island – Day 2[…]
My yogi friend told me that her friend had a yoga retreat on Bowen Island. I was surprised to see that things were pretty much booked for the next 3 months, so I had to wait, but it’s good since I’m able to go when the weather is the best in mid August. With the Read more about Nectar Yoga B&B on Bowen Island – Day 1[…]
For breakfast, I decided to go to Mcdonald’s. After all the sweating, maybe I was craving some salt, lol. I then phoned up Expedia where I had booked the hostel/hotel through to complain about my experience. I still had 2 nights left and I had left because it was unbearable. I now looked at all Read more about Montreal – Day 9[…]
I woke up un-rested, but still wanted to check out Montreal. I walked around Old Port where it was now like a little amusement park with a ferris wheel, zip-line, and a lot of fun stuff for kids.

Up early again to get to the VIA Rail Station to my next stop: Montreal. This time, I decided to take the bus, saving me almost $14 compared to a taxi. I was concerned as Google Maps had shown that the bus stopped super far from the station and the route went all over the Read more about Montreal – Day 7[…]
I arrived a bit too late at 9:50am to see the Changing of the Guards at the Parliament. It is an approximately 30 minute long ceremony. The ground is packed with tourists with their cameras and cell phones, all wanting a piece of the action. If you’re thinking of doing the Parliament tour right afterwards, Read more about Ottawa – Day 6[…]
It was a nice, hot summer day. My app told me that the temperature was 26C, feels like 30C. From 11am-2pm, I attended the Free Ottawa Tour. There were about 20 of us, and the tour guide was really funny, with lots of great interesting facts. The heat was a bit of killer, but it Read more about Ottawa – Day 5[…]
Time in Toronto went by really fast. Now I was already leaving. I said goodbye to my friend whom I was staying with during my stay in Toronto, and headed towards Union Station. Once I got there, Union Station was a huge mess at the time. It was a bit hard to navigate without clear Read more about Ottawa – Day 4[…]
In the morning, I went to check out my host friend’s company that he worked at. I got to meet his co-workers and office environment. His coworkers were interested in asking questions on how the friend was when he was a child, as I had known his since we were 9 years old. Afterwards,I got Read more about Toronto – Day 3[…]
