Halfway into my first term at Montreal’s McGill University I began to appreciate the Canadian character. What do I like most about Canadians?

The Penniless Pensioner: Misaligned, Maligned but Marvellous (The Final Version):Chapter 8: Minah My 140 Kilo Sweetheart

I discovered FairmontContinue reading “The Penniless Pensioner: Misaligned, Maligned but Marvellous (The Final Version):Chapter 5: Bye Bye Juanita and My Iraqi Sweetheart”
