Malaria

There is a blood drive at work today, I tried to give but they wouldn't let me! Apparently I have Malaria. Everyone who has been to China in the past 364 days has Malaria. I don't feel like I have Malaria. But if I have stepped outside of Hong Kong in the past 364 days then I have Malaria. I tried.

I have a potential trip to Columbia, if I step out of Bogota, I will also have Malaria for a year. I'd better not go!

Dallas

Hi All,
I'm just finishing a project in Texas and I've been incredibly busy to the point where I haven't updated this site recently.

I've had a few interesting weekends here but as a whole, Dallas really isn't that exciting. I went to the Fort Worth stock yards with my uncle Bill a couple of weekends ago which was interesting. We saw a few texas long horns which you don't see in my home province of Alberta. We also went to a bar for a tequilla shot. This bar had these cool saddles instead of barstools.

A few nights ago was our qualification. We went to a Brazilian restaurant where we had a massive all-you-can-eat meat night where the waiters would come to your plate with skewers of meat. Later in the evening we had a few beers around the pool and I brought out my guitar. We sang until about 3am.

Last night we went to see Star Trek in the theater. I was disappointed that there were not many costumes there, but I was not disappointed with the movie. I'm spending my weekend watching all of the first ten movies now.

My trip is coming to an end, but I'll keep posting next time I get somewhere interesting.
