Moira Walker extols the virtues of writing on “The Canadian”, one of the worlds great train rides. I love trains, and it is our primary mode of transport when we are in Europe. As my feet slowly heal from surgery I am still hopeful that the Love-goddess and I will be able to go out to Victoria to spend part of the winter. The plan, at this point, also involves coming home on “The Canadian”… fingers crossed.

Olivia Lee extols the virtues of Hawker Food in Singapore. I thought it best to post something other than an article related to finances… really, the only thing anybody’s writing about these days because of the pandemic… to provide something a little lighter and more interesting for my readers.
