EXPLORING CHINA
In the summer of 2015 I got a chance to spend two and a half weeks in China. Although it is impossible to explore this vast and diverse nation in a mere few weeks, I did get a peak at some of the marvalous cities, monuments and places this country has to offfer. With limited time in hand, I focused my efforts on two main cities: the ancient capital of Nanjing and the modern-day capital Beijing, with some interesting detours along the way.

BEIJING
After moving to Westboro a few years ago, I have come to genuinly like this part of Ottawa. The drive to work went from a 45 minute fury-session in traffic, to a leisurely 5 minutes cruise down Churchill Avenue. Groceries are a no-brainer, with the Superstore a few blocks away, and eating out has never been easier with lots of great restaurants on Richmond Road, with a good mix of specially food boutiques. Those are all things that I came to appreciated pretty quickly after the move. The drive to work went from a 45 minute fury-session in traffic, to a leisurely 5 minutes cruise down Churchill Avenue.
