JIt'
was
once
thought
that
travel
r
was
for
the
rich
and
bored
but
times
have
changed
drastically.
f:In
the
19th
century
the
rich
travelled
to
Italy
ana
ureece
to
do
the
required
'
Tour
of
Europe
that
every
wealthy
person
was
II'-
expected
to
do.
During
their
'trips
though
they
also
took
the
?
required
souvenirs:
frescos,
stat
ues,
mosaics
and
of
course
eve-

nothing
but
the
equivalent
of
20th
century
LOOTERS!
Now
that
there
is
nothing
left
to
loot,
they
let
us
look.
We
get
to
see
the
rebuilt
the
columns
that
used
to
be

the

and
the

Ahhh,
what

The
travel
experience
does
not
have
to
be
like
this
though.
If
you
hit
the
right
destination
for
you,
you
can
have
the
holiday
of
your
life.
Usually
the
holiday
of
your
life
will
end
up
being
the
least
likely
place
you
could
imagine.
Most
people
picture
their
best
holiday
being
on
a
secluded
beach
somewhere
hot
with
the
perfect
somebody
of
their
dreams
laying
sexily
by
their
side
(or
is
that
just
me).
No
one
is
really
too
poor
to
travel,
they
just
don't
have
travel
as
their
top
priority.
But
if
travel
is
at
the
top
of
your
list
then
you
can
do
it.
I
am
not
saying
that
everyone
has
money
in
the
bank,
I,
for
one,
know
this
to
be
the
truth!
Over
the
last
three
year
I
have
travelled
to
Tunisia,
in
north
Africa,
Greece
and
The
Czech
Republic
and
I
have
only
spent
$1000
on
travel
and
accommodation.
If
that
number
looks
big,
take
into
consideration
it
costs
over
$500
for
someone
to
fly
return
from
Randy
says
that
the
group
is
really
more
live
performance
oriented
because
there
are
so
few
outlets
for
Christian
music
in
Canada.
One
of
only
two
Canadian
Christian
radio
stations
is
based
in
Vancouver
and
they
play
mostly
contemporary,
"adult"
directed
Christian
music.
He
also
has
found
that
compared
to
the
United
States,
everything
is
a
little
less
glitzy.'There
is
a
much
larger
audience
in
the
United
States,
and
that
has
partly
to
do
with
the
fact
that
there
is
very
little
media
for
Christian
music
in
Canada."
he
said.
Which
is
a
shame.
In
general,
Canadian
Christian
music
tends
to
be
more
than
just
in
your
face
Christianity.
The
message
is
more
subtle,
and
in
the
case
of
Hokus
Pick,
the
station
powers-that-be
at
Z95.3
in
Vancouver
gave
them
massive
amounts
of
air
time
over
the
summer
because
of
it.
Randy
feels
that
music
makes
quite
an
impact
and
pulls
and
example
out
of
a
hat.
"Take
Kurt
Cobain,
for
example.
Kids
are
so
wrapped
up
in
music
today,
that
when
Kurt
Cobain
killed
himself,
a
lot
of
teenagers
tried
to
join
him.
Music
embraces
all
of
the
problems
and
all
of
the
triumphs
of
trie
world.
It
lets
Prince
George
to
Vancouver
unless
you
go
student
standby
where
you
aren't
guaranteed
of
getting
there
when
you
want
to.
For
the
$220,
or
so,
that
you
pay
student
standby,
you
can
fly
from
London
to
Rome,
Budapest,
Athens,
Prague,
Paris,
and
most
other
places
in
Europe.
If
you
get
there
at
the
right
time
and
go
to
the
right
places.
If
your
destination
is
more
'exotic'
such
as,
Eastern
Europe,
Australia
or
Asia
your
best
bet
as
an
independent
traveller
student
under
26
is
to
check
out
an
STA
(Student
Travel
Agency)
or
a
Campus
Travel.
A
must
for
any
student
travelling
is
an
ISIC
card,
this
is
an
International
Student
Identification
Card.
This
card
is
essential
because
you
get
many
discounts
on
accommodation,
dining,
and
sightseeing,
it
is
recognized
all
over
the
world,.
It
is
valid
for
15
months.
Don't
worry
if
you
are
not
a
student,
if
you
are
under
26
years
old
you
basically
get
Reckless
Faith
by
J.
Cole,
Editor
While
I'm
rushing
myself
on
deadline,
the
eerie
glow
of
my
computer
screen
is
the
only
thing
that
is
lighting
my
room.
Suddenly
my
phone
rings,
jolting
me
out
of
my
typing
cadence.
It
rings
a
second
time.
I
dive
towards
it,
hoping
it
is
one
of
my
writers
saying
"Eureka!
I
have
found
the
story
of
the
century!"
Instead,
I
hear
a
very
polite,
ultra-Albertan
voice
coming
across
the
receiver.
"Hi
I'm
Randy
Bailer,
from
Reckless
Faith.
You
wanted
to
interview
me?"
He
asks.
"Uh,
yeah,
I,
uh,
oh,
my
questions!
I
left
them
in
the
Press
office!"
My
heart
sinks.
I
am
so
excited
about
this
interview
though,
that
I
do
not
even
remember
which
band
he
said
he
represents.
"You're
from
White
Heart?"
I
ask,
knowing
as
the
words
come
from
my
mouth
that
I'm
wrong.
His
accent
is
too
Canadian.
I
grope
for
the
light
switch
and
in
doing
so,
also
find
my
notebook.
I
don't,
however
find
my
questions.
Which
is
okay,
it
turns
out,
because
Randy
is
like
me,
and
very
chatty.
Throughout
our
interview,
we
you
know
you
aren't
alone
out
there
when
you're
struggling.
We're
trying
to
be
positive.
I'm
not
saying
I'm
trying
to
be
a
savior,
but
I'm
trying
to
say
something
life
affirming."
I
am
impressed.
We
went
on
to
discuss
lyrical
content.
"I
don't
like
music
where
they
beat
you
over
the
head
with
the
message.
Our
music
isn't
like
that.
The
message
is
there
for
you
if
you
want
it,
but
the
music
is
what
should
really
grab
you."
Our
impromptu
interview
ended
with
Randy
saying,
"We're
all
really
looking
forward
to
playing
Prince
George.
It
will
be
out
first
time
here
and
we're
really
looking
forward
to
it."
I
thanked
him
effusively,
and
face
flushed
with
excitement,
I
hung
up
and
looked
at
my
notes.
I'd
enjoyed
our
conversation
so
much,
I
had
hardly
taken
any.
I
turned
off
my
computer,
and
rushed
to
the
Press
office
to
type
up
my
draft.
I
hope
I
didn't
misquote
you,
Randy.
