Started snowboarding recently. It’s good fun, even though I suck at it! Lorri on the other hand is a natural. She zipped down the hill while I was rolling around like a turtle on my back. I can’t even get back to my feet when I fall down.
Still though we enjoyed it so we got ourselves some gear today. Although I couldn’t find a helmet to fit my comically large head.
Gong Hei Fat Choi! This year for the Lunar New Year celebrated in China, Korea and Vietnam, we had a Chinese Lion in the office in VMware.
Went out last night for a few drinks and I was introduced to “Pub Golf“. Basically you have to drink a designated drink in as few goes as possible in each if 9 bars. You lose points for drinking with your right hand, going to the toilet in certain bars and other such stuff. It’s good fun!
Anybody ever been on the express walkway in Toronto Airport? I’d so much fun I nearly went back to do it again! This video doesn’t do the speed justice.
A short video showing our view of UFC 135. The atmosphere was brilliant. Americans are loud!
Went to Niagara Falls over the weekend. Really enjoyed it. I thought the Falls would be bigger but I guess you hear so much about it that it’s bound to be slightly disappointing. Having said that once I really sat back and looked at it, it’s fecking huge!
What was a pleasant surprise was the town itself. It was “Tack-tastic”. Ripleys believe it or not, A moving Movie Theatre, Guinness World Records, loads of arcades (some serving alcohol) and loads of other tacky places. Didn’t get to even see a portion of them so I’m definitely going to go back some time. It’s only an hours drive from where I am living to it’s easy.
Also did the Whirlpool Boat. I’d advise anyone who is in Niagara Falls to make the short trip to Niagara on the Lake to do the Whirlpool Boat. Great craic. Unfortunately no photos or videos as the camera would have been thrown overboard.
Relatively busy weekend this weekend. Went to Canada’s Wonderland, went bowling in the 5-pin bowling lanes in our Condo, watched the All-Ireland Hurling Final and went for a few drinking downtown.

A short video showing some of the beautiful weather we’ve gotten in Canada since we moved over.
I made a short video with a few random images and clips from our first month in Canada. I actually have 25 minutes worth of stuff so I’m going to break it into a few videos, of which this is the first. We spent most of the month just finding our way around so the clips are a bit random as there was no big event or anything like that. Still enjoy the sights of Canada with a few Irish related clips thrown in for good measure.
