Arviat, Nunavut

“northern lights, very common up here and right in our own backyard”

This was sent from Aida again.. from North of 61.  This is where she lived right now.  When ppl say i’m spunky.. because i’m in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia.. i tell them there is someone even spunkier than I and she lives in Nunavut… the land of eskimos.    Why i think Aida is spunkier.. it’s because Aida is from Malaysia.. and for those who are not aware of this.. Malaysia.. is a hot, hot country.  This must be a 360 degree change for Aida.. but she never once B.I.T.C.H about it.  She just took in all her new experience in stride.  I salute Aida.

“view of town in winter from airplane..literally in the middle of nowhere

See what i mean.. when i said .. Aida is spunkier..!! look at all the white..!!!!

“how babies are carried in the north”

“long and extremely cold winter, this was taken after a blizzard”

Faro, Yukon

This was sent by Kara from The Adventures of Matt, Kara and Baby Hunter in Faro, Yukon thru’ Aida .. from Footprint North of 61.  Kara lives in Faro, Yukon, also a part of Canada..  but really up north very near Alaska.

Post office

Of course we have to have TD Canada..!  my mortgage was from them.

Ahhhh..!! the liquor store.. ours is alot more fancier here.

“Okay, the red’ish coloured building with the blue sign is our recreation centre. We have a large gym, workout room, teen room complete with a Wii, an outdoor swimming pool, and curling rink.”  Kara said.

“The picture after that with the van is the school. It is grade k-12. There is also a library and Yukon College housing in the same building.”  Kara wrote.

Ahhh..!! so Faro has a golf course..!! awesome..!!

“The log building is our tourist info centre” Kara said

“Faro Convenience Store.  And the convenience centre is our only store! But it has a bit of everything.” Kara said.

These were sent by Aida from Footprints from the North of 61 , now Aida is a very special woman.  Why ..??  Well.. actually all women who chooses to leave home.. and uproot in the name of love.. i admire .. and think they are special.. but for Aida.. she lives in Nunavut, now if you know where Nunavut is.. you’ll know how cold it is up there.  I complained so much that Yarmouth, Nova Scotia is cold.. Nunavut must be like 100 times colder.  But boy..! this woman is not only spunky.. but resourceful..  and also very good with her hands and most importantly very adventurous..!!

Here are some of corner brook, newfoundland where she lived for 1.5 years.
