snart bär det av!

Soon I, Emilian von Yarol, will depart on yet another journey to far away lands. This time, and for the second time, I am off to the New World. The far side of it. Not sure why I've always had this irrational and, some would probably say, unfounded admiration and fascination with Canada. The same can be said about my attitude towards Japan. I can't say why and where the feelings come from but I'm seriously starting to believe it's the colours of their flags(!). Red and white for some reason strike a cord with me. But then again there must be other reasons because I don't find myself in the least bit interested or fascinated by the history or legacy of say, Switzerland or Denmark.

When I go there now to discover, like many before me, the grand (in more than one sense) nation of Canada I hope I will not be disappointed, but it isn't a possibility far removed from the incredible. When you've built up your expectations for a number of years then dissappointment is just around the corner.

I, however, doubt that I'll be disappointed. With great company and in a setting like Vancouver I think it will turn out to be one of the best experiences to date. Only time will tell.
