A tip that i learned during this trip - exchange Taiwan Dollars in your home country, otherwise do it at Taiwan airport. If...

'Twas the night before Halloween and ghosts were yet unseen as Sir Belvedere rode upon the moor returning from a recent war covered in blood and gore no Nobel Peace Prize for him just more weightlifts down at the gym but first he'll stop at the inn. "Some pumpkin soup!" he said with glee as he ate some jam from the jamboree. I'm afraid the king gets the soup and you are but a dupe said the...

The new memoir by the retired Chief of the Defence Staff has certainly been extensively leaked to the media ( Update : actually, since it's available online , more likely the publisher simply distributed copies). The first story, by CP's Murray Brewster, is the best: Hillier argued for Kabul , instead of Kandahar deployment: memoir Hillier describes PMO as one of his toughest foes Hillier's fiercest...

A memo from the past. For you of little patience Go to 12:17. How anyone who knew anything about the Russians could not have predicted this is beyond me. Putin sized Obama up and came to the conclusion that he had a nice smile. Hillary went to Moscow and met the wrong man. Clinton said she would have liked to have seen Putin but that their agendas did not coincide. Putin left for a trip to the Russian...

Matt Taibbi on Obama's Nobel Peace Prize: More likely the Obama critics who believe that Obama won this award for not being George Bush are right as well. The problem the international community had with Bush wasn’t that he believed in war and the use of force, it was that he believed in the unilateral use of these things. Bush did not believe in the use of force as an expression of a whole society’s...

30 Sept - 3 Oct Next, we stopped for two nights in Biarritz, after a bit of a debacle getting there - it's only about 50km from San Sebastian to Biarritz, but we had to change trains on the French border, only to find the train wasn't running and the staff in the station told everyone the wrong info for the replacement bus... Eventually got there without too much more excitement. We stayed in a cheap...

You may have noticed from my recent inclusion of the "posts in progress" box, as well as referring to posts yet unpublished in other posts, that I'm falling a bit behind with my blogging. Obviously this isn't catastrophic: there are more important things than online recordings of my time in Canada, but I still find it distressing. I have 42 drafts in my posts list, most of which I have removed...
