Still my favourite pic after all these years. Not a single soul behind me in this shot of the Great Wall. Hard to believe it was a decade ago when we started to wrap up the 2008 Beijing Summer Games.🥇🥈🥉#Mutianyu

Honoured to be invited to the Republic of Korea National Day Reception this evening. With over 60 years of diplomatic relations, Korea is Canada’s 8th largest trading partner, but what stood out tonight was some of the art work that may have inspired the “KPop Demon Hunters”…1/2

Another fun 4km “Walk with the Mayor” together with our community friends this morning, topped w/awesome pancakes by our firefighters. A perfect way to kick off the day on the right foot. 1 more left next month to close out the year. Join us! #pancakes #walk #burnaby #burnaby365

Sadly this train is slow and the USB ports are already old too. Trains in Asia and Europe go twice as fast and efficiently, new and spacious. We can at least say this new American train is faster than driving…or is it?
For the first time ever, an Amtrak NextGen Acela train just pulled up to Union Station. It had left Boston at 6 AM this morning, taking roughly 7 hours to make the entire trip.

The cessation of hostilities of the Korean War was signed 72 years ago. Fewer & fewer veterans are present each year so it’s a privilege & honour to be in their presence. …1/2 @BaltejSDhillon
