New Blogment

For the last three and a half years, my life has been that of a good-for-nothing transient. I've called five countries home during that time and visited nine others. It has been a good run so far.

One question I get asked a lot is, "Which country did you like the best?" The simple answer is that I have no idea. It's impossible to answer. I didn't see enough of the countries I only visited and I saw too much of the countries I lived in.

Was India incredibly tough to live in? Sure. Was India also the country most likely to change your entire outlook on life? Absolutely. But does that make it the best? Egypt was good and bad in completely different ways. So was Mongolia. There is just no way to compare.

Other questions like, "What was your favourite city?" or "Which monument did you dislike the most?" do come up, so I started to think. What is my favourite city? Which monument did I like the least?

This is the rationale for my newest blogment (others have included Cairo's Champions, Razor Ramblings, Random Facts About Canada): Top 5/Low 5. It's a simple concept. I will take something like "Cities" and then list the Top 5 I've been to and the Low 5.

Call it a shameless attempt at reminiscing (well, I know Ryan would), but this should provide some interesting hindsight into the places I've been and thing things I've seen.
