Year of Travel

Last year was a great year of travelling for me, including my work abroad. Here's where I got to:

Belgium
Australia
U.S.A (Florida)
Spain (Barcelona & The Canary Islands)
Italy (Milan)
Switzerland (Zurich)
Liechtenstein
Austria (Innsbruk & Salzburg)
Ireland (Cork)

A busy year, let's hope this year is just as fruitful.

My plan to go to Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan this year has been somewhat thwarted by having to replace my broken laptop so that will have to wait until next year. However, still some other cool trips in the pipeline:

Germany (for work and holiday with Housemates)
Qatar
Oman
Italy
Switzerland
Romania
Iceland for ATP
Denmark
Morocco

Here's to an adventurous year

Recommended Listening - Volume 5

It's been a long time since I was last here. I've sold a lot of CDs and purchased a lot of records. Here're some of my picks from the past six months:

1.

Viet Cong - Cassette




A few guys from another great Calgary band, Women. Their new album comes out today. Excited.




2.
Bâton Rouge - Totem



French band with great ear for melody with a DIY edge.


3.

坂本慎太郎 - ナマで踊ろう



Shintaro Sakamoto's second album Let's Dance Raw. I was introduced to his previous band Yurayura Teikoku by a good friend in Japan. I've been a big fan of anything he's done ever since.





That's it for now, life is going well, see you soon.
