  1. Saudi Arabia was fascinating and I'm now in Sanaa, Yemen, experiencing the most colourful country in the Middle East. Everyone is friendly.
  2. Tomorrow I fly to Jeddah for the final stage of my tour around Saudi Arabia. It's been remarkably easy going and the Saudi people are good.
  3. I'm currently at Jeddah airport in transit to northern Saudi Arablia. Our tour consists of only four of us plus guide so we're seeing a lot!
  4. My trip to Saudi Arabia is going exactly as planned. Biggest surprise yet was the new Metro system via Dubai Airport - super high tech.
  5. I depart for three weeks in Saudi Arabia and Yemen today. I'll post updates here from along the way whenever I have easy internet access.
  6. BC-owned pet supply company Bosley’s sells genuine rabbit fur cat toys from Chinese fur farms. Chinese fur producers skin rabbits alive.
  7. Nanaimo poet Kim Goldberg will launch her new book Red Zone on Sunday, Sept 27, 2009, at The Vault Café, 499 Wallace St, Nanaimo, at 1 pm.
  8. Canadian politicians who claim to be environmentalists while ignoring the commercial seal hunt are just opportunists and hypocrites.
  9. The schedule for the Paul Manly SPP Film - National Victory Tour across Canada is on http://www.youmespp.com/screenings/
  10. Japanese government allows a hunt of 20,000 dolphins a year. Dolphin meat is consumed as a delicacy but most Japanese have never eaten it.
  11. Although bile farming is illegal in Vietnam the practice is widespread. The mental and physical torture bears endure is difficult to imagine
  12. The Canadian government has allowed big game hunters to kill more than 600 polar bears over the past 10 years. It's happening right now.
  13. British Columbia has the lowest minimum wage in Canada. New Brunswick increased the minimum wage to $8.25 per hour this week. In BC it's $8.
  14. This afternoon the Pacific Gardens Cohousing Community got an occupancy permit from the City of Nanaimo. My congratulations to all concerned
  15. "The day will come when men such as I will look upon the killing of animals as we now look upon the killing of man." -Leonardo Da Vinci
  16. I just posted my new Cook Islands Travel Guide at http://cookislands.southpacific.org/
  17. BC-owned pet supply company Bosley’s sells genuine rabbit fur cat toys from Chinese fur farms. Shame on Bosley’s.
  18. Canadian commercial seal hunt FAQs: http://blog.gonanaimo.com/seal-hunt-faqs
  19. I love this Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) parody: http://bit.ly/MlbuS
  20. Protest this Saturday, August 22, 2009 in front of Lumiere Restaurant at 2551 West Broadway and Fuel at 1944 West 4th Ave, Vancouver, BC.
