Hooray! We're home. After about 14 months of moving almost every day we are settled back in our little home in Bridgeland and we are LOVING it. There's a ton to do and I'm draining our "not really hot" hot water tank as we speak. It shouldn't take an hour to get wet in the shower, should it? Shovelling snow? Bring it on. Baebs …

The Bonfire

Evan Hu Once you have experienced Japanese toilet technology, your bottom end will never be satisfied our barbaric instruments of waste disposal. Looking forward to your return! Evan P.S. the Japanese wearing surgical masks on the trains and streets are not parnoid about catching a virus or worried about air pollution, they have a cold/flu and are trying not to spread whatever they have to others in public !

Jeannette Hi Jason - regarding your corduroy blazer. Do you want me to check with Mike and Mark as to who they handed it onto after they wore it? I am looking forward to being greeted at your own front door by you and Barbara in your while meditation outfits.

Adele Mansell Hey guys ... I am laughing so much here at Jason's rendition of his meditation woes (its a good question though, why does corduroy have the grooves ??? and whatever happens to those jackets of our youth). I am glad that you have managed to fit in as much as you have, having your haircut by choosing which celebrity you want to look like, using all the public transport, Barbara using her charades tactics to mediate between warring factions - its an amazing read! I can't wait to see you - as you know I will be in Cape Town when you get back, but will catch up with you on my return. Safe journey guys ... tever happened to the corduroy jacket...)l... I just love your blogs and the photos!

Erica, Kevin, and clan Merry Christmas, guys! We have been enjoying your updates, and thinking about all the fun (squat toilets and saliva incidents excluded) you guys are having. Winter has hit the West Coast - the positives being last night's Raclette feast and a half, and the 30 m toboggan run we have in our backyard. Safe travels, and looking forward to having you back on this side of the Pacific soon! Erica, Kevin, Eva, and Will

Dayna and Jeff Merry Christmas you two. Loving the stories and the pics. I'm so sorry but I can't stop giggling about the spit incident. I know it must have been traumatic, but so funny to us (well me anyway). I also love the socks - makes it ALMOST cool to wear socks with sandals - hope you bring a pair home. You can start a trend! I went out skiing with my parents this aft - gotta get in shape for your return. The golf course is fantastic. Jeff is snoozin' here on the couch but I'm sure he'd say hi. Our favourite neighbourhood vietnamese shop is closed for SEVERAL weeks so we'll be going through a bit of withdrawal here. Have some pho for us! See you soon! Happy and safe holidays...Dayna

Joe Stojanovic Barbara, try a squat toilet when u are drunk and the guy before you didnt quite found the hole...if you know what I mean. The goal is not to puke or s*** yourself or fall into sombody elses s***. Its hard Im telling you!!
