Welp, for better or for worse we have returned from our Asian Adventure back to Edmonton to begin 2012 two months late.

The rest of this article is all him as they say* But we take all the credit for forcing him to write it with all the threatening BBMs that we have sent that arrive in the middle of the night due to the time difference.

Classic." - Wanye
