This third and final part of Terrian Journals Origins is introducing and in some ways accounting for what is about to happen next. The story centres on living as a newcomer in Toronto for four years, from four distinct vantage points, and goes far beyond, stretching to California and leading straight into the Terrian Journals writings of Rio de Janeiro. Chance encounters, situations, and circumstances lay the foundations for what is about to happen in all future volumes of Terrian Journals.

On the eve of a worldwide pandemic, and during its first months, thoughts in adventure and thoughts from adventure continue in this volume of Terrian Journals: living as a newcomer. Adventuredates include an inside look at hospitalization in Nippon, from a patient's perspective; a foray into Việt Nam; and the COVID-19 quarantine experience in the Tokyo "hot spot". As these real life adventures continue in familiar and unfamiliar settings, Canada's ruling bureaucracy attempts to declare the Terrian Journals series a work of fiction. Oh ya!

These pre-Terrian Journals writings range from childhood to early adulthood. Comedic prose and serious essays reveal thoughts on life, death, identity, individuality, societies, cultures, partisanism, etc. The contexts and inspirations of these writings are not always apparent or known. The common feature among the writings is the writer alone.

Get this book and it will get to you. It's so funny that you won't be able to hold it up. Read the one or two liners out loud until everyone around you is laughing. Listen to yourself and you'll laugh too. The stories told in this volume can make you laugh and cry at the same time.

Why is the world in such a mess? Why are pandemics, climate change, trade wars, terrorists, dictators, arms sales, nuclear weapons, and combat going unchecked? Why are they free to threaten human life and to severely hinder human progress? This volume offers an explanation in a satircal yet serious way. It's about the boundaries preventing us from uniting to solve our common problems as human beings. We need to work together instead of perishing divided.Together we can solve the world's problems. Artificial walls divide us. Let them fall.
