52 hours... That is how long it took me to get from the hotel in Vancouver to my home in Denmark, but I will get back to that later... I got the most of my final week at UBC with the final dose of beautiful sunsets and good company. And we finally got some snow! We had a great snow ball fight in the streets of Fairview and enjoyed the scenery at Wreck Beach one last time. Eventually it had to end though, but not before our trip to Whistler was over. I checke...

Hey Time for a quick and maybe last update from Vancouver (don't know if I will have time to do another). Anyway, hope you have enjoyed following my experiences at UBC in Vancouver. I have now gotten past the first three exams last Thursday, Saturday (!) and yesterday. It was quite a challenge as the first was quite a boring subject and took forever to get through.

I will start out with the short version of my trip to Hawaii from November 6 to November 12 (those ...

In other words, we should be spending most of our ...

Hi, Since my last update, I have realized that the sunny days are fading away in Vancouver. Therefore, I decided to get the most of them. On September 16 we went to the beach again for another (and maybe the last) beautiful sunset. In the following days I attended yet another football game at the Thunderbird Stadium, which unfortunately was the day when all the UBC teams decided to start losing. Also, I finally went by the UBC Botanical Gardens between two rai...
