Gosandra travels round the world

How does it feel to come home? good when there's a bunch of people coming to pick you up with a big bar of chocolate. mmhhh. Such happened at Vancouver Airport after the longest day of my travels (due to 16hours addontime from New Zealand). Another thing about coming home is that you don't plan many touristy things, but concentrate on the social part of the city: BBQs, beer, beach, concerts, sushi, more beer...
The main reason for my stay was the University congregation where I officially received my PhD. nice occasion, nice clothing.

My parents joined in the occasion and after seeing the Capilano suspension bridge and kayaking the Burrard Inlet (= tourist program), we were off together to travel down the US westcoast in a mobile home.
