In Ottawa
I am sitting in snowy snowy ottawa right now on a computer in my hotel. From my previous post I've realized that some people don't even know what I'm talking about. So I recently got accepted to an overseas internship helping the developing world set up their internet infrastructure through a volunteer organization called VSO. I will likely be in Africa sometime in the near future doing just that. Right now though I am in our nations capitol and in a couple days I'll be in Quebec for training.

Right now though I'm starving because my plane in Toronto got cancelled and then delayed so I am extra late right now. Also I have to work on a feature for Streethawk while I'm travelling and some Discorder reviews. So I should go try and find someplace that's still serving food. If I have time I might walk down to look at the parliament buildings.

Jordie out

Sweet! Africa was fun. At one point I flew into Africa Airport and hung out with the African president in downtown africa.

Where in Africa? Which country (ies)?

Man I hope my African experience is as good as yours. I didn't put more than that because I don't know yet, but it sounds like Uganda and Ethiopia are most likely. I hope I get to learn some African

Ottawa? Awesome I was there last feb but it was -30. Take the tour, they tell fantastic lies about the importance of the Senate.

if you don't have poutine at least thrice in Quebec all the good your doing building the internets will be squandered by the former evil.
