Top 5-Most Unique Countries on Earth
By Lee | 
10 Comments » Unique is a matter of opinion but one place that is indisputably the strangest place in the world to visit is North Korea. The Turkmenistan picture is of the mind blowing marble capital city of Ashgabat. I had to sneak the picture of the cathedral in Malabo, EG because photography is illegal. Being in Bhutan is like being in another millenium with nobody there and of course the heartbreak of perhaps the most random place I’ve ever been to in Juba, Southern Sudan. However, these places are all unique and to me stand out above the rest and there are plenty-believe me.
1. North Korea

Top 5-Cities in Canada
By Lee | 6 Comments » In honor of my trip to the Vancouver Olympics this weekend, here is my top 5 Canadian cities, not including amazing places like Banff and Whistler, etc. I reserve the right to change my mind after this weekend! Also, I will have a full report Monday or Tuesday with pictures from the Olympics. By the way, if my top choice of Calgary surprises you as it does most people when I tell them, it’s because I’ve spent a ton of time there and really love the city. Have a great weekend. I can’t wait to see some hockey!
