I emigrated to Canada from Singapore in November 2006, and Ploy joined me just before Christmas the same year. We live in a town called Kitchener, near the centre of the Great Lakes area and approximately 1.5 hours drive from Niagara Falls. On this page I record some photos and information about the city and the area.

The page was last updated on 6th December 2007.

Waterloo and Kitchener

We live in Kitchener, a town of 190,000 people so the sign says which is joined to the smaller town of Waterloo: they are often referred to together as KW, or together with neighbouring Cambridge, the tri-cities.

Niagara Falls

The Niagara falls are just 150km south east of where we now live, and we have visited them three times now. I have been so fortunate to have seen both the Grand Canyon and now, Niagara Falls; nature at its most breathtaking. Click on the images to view them full size.
