Thoughts and travels of Patrick Lam

Trip Report: Judo Nationals in Christchurch, October 14-16 2022

Finally, I make it to NZ judo nationals, taking 3rd. Designer Cottage was a great place to stay. Plus, Christchurch Tram.

Trip Report: Queen Charlotte Track, October 22-27 2022

Post-punted-paper-deadline trip to Queen Charlotte, plus a stay in Anakiwa. Occasional good views, a bit on the long side.

Trip Report: Banks Peninsula Track, October 3-4 2022

Back at Akaroa for the Banks Peninsula Track with great views of the hilly coast.

September: more research, some trips

Normal month in a non-teaching term. Making progress with research. Executing and planning trips, though not far afield (South Island).

August: staying in Canada longer than expected, for good reasons

Was going to go to NZ on August 6 but finally went on August 21, after a judo grading. I hope that I’ve finished everything for Spring term teaching now finally, and can get back to research (and seeing more of NZ).
