It is done! Some of my travel plans have been canceled others have changed

It is done, the swine flu pandemic and panic definitely has messed up my travel plans and my budget... :-( I had to cancel the part of my trip which would have led me to San Francisco... This means I won't be able to visit Fabio which is bu******t!

But I could not only limit the financial loss and I will be able to stay one more day in Canada. I will now fly to Canada on the third of July. There I will meet Philippe in Calgary where we will have a chance to catch up and to see the Calgary Stampede. After this I will head to Whistler where I will be doing some Downhill-Mountainbiking and enjoying the mountains, before I embark to Singapore on the 12th of July... So it will be a shortened trip and the seven days of "quarantine" in Singapore probably won't be that much fun, but I will be able to have at least some fun before I get to  bury myself in books again... ;-)

And just because it was so much fun last year, some pictures of Whistler...

The swine flu (probably) put a spoke in my wheels

Swine-flu

Most of you know, that I will be studying in Singapore for the coming eight months. To get there I planned a nice little trip via Canada and the United States, visiting some friends, doing fun stuff and relaxing before the studying has to start again... But now the swine flu has put a spoke in my wheels.... I just received the email above. If I arrive in Singapore from the United States I will be required to stay at home for seven days...

This probably means I will have to cancel at least part of my travel plans! Currently there are some emails flooding through the pipes to find out if this is the last word or if it will be possible to somehow get tested and not to have to stay at home but I'm not too hopeful.
