Canada Day on Parliament Hill, a Will-and-Kate sighting, High Tea with friends and a great camping trip – terrific weekend in Ottawa to celebrate Canada’s 144th birthday.

In which yet another bird takes a crap on my head.

Bats like the look of me too: my 11th time being crapped on by a flying animal on this round-the-world trip.

Documenting the 10 birds who have crapped on my head in just over two years of round-the-world travel.

Before jumping into my Burma coverage, I need to share a disturbing problem I’ve had on my round-the-world trip: birds love to shit on me. On this round-the-world trip alone, 9 birds have crapped on my head.
