From the Great White North...

Yeah, I'm in Canada right now typing this entry in the hotel room. This marks a few interesting milestones for me:

1. This is the first time I have ever connected to the Internet through a WiFi Hotspot.
2. This is my first entry that I write away from home (other than the very first entry: that was written at my parents' house).

My impression on WiFi Hotspot: it's way too expensive. I'm paying $11 for the right to connect for the next 24 hours with 500 MB data transfer limit. This barely lets you do much. Especially, if I'm connected in the hotel room, I would rather have a free, wired internet connection. I will have to watch my usage, really.

Anyway, I'm in Canada for a business. I'm staying at the Waterloo Inn in Kitchener, Ontario. Because I'm traveling with my boss (a VP of the company), we are getting a pampering VIP treatment from the host plant. They would drive us around, take us out to dine and wine, and they even arranged the hotel accommodation for us. The last time I was here, I had to do all that myself.

I wish I had a digital camera. My camera was lost during my last trip to Mexico. I am currently looking at getting one. One from Panasonic looks damn good, but expensive. Sony cameras' prices are coming down. I need a really portable good quality camera. I want to be able to post a picture on my blog sites wherever I am so that the millions of my potential readers will be able to keep up with my latest adventure.

Yes, it's cold here... The locals are telling me that it's gotten warm. I don't know how anybody gets used to this severe winter climate. I don't really like hot weather, but I guess I would take hot over cold any day.

You know I brought this notebook computer from work: the bigger, heavier one because I thought I needed this particular program for this trip. I found out that the program doesn't even work outside my office. They screwed up when they installed it, I guess. I'm mad because now I have to tote around this damn heavy computer all over the place for nothing! I could have brought my small Sony Vaio in the stylish Booq bag, and save some pain! Oh, well...

I'm gonna wrap up this entry before I end up yapping about nothing all night. I got an early morning tomorrow. Maybe I get a free connection tomorrow, then I will be able to post more, otherwise, you'll have to wait until Saturday night.
