Mrs. Ralph Fischer has ri tr BY JOAN CRONIN Have you ever sat and' daydreamed on a rainy day or during a snowstorm. of all the far away places you would like to see?. Some period. in our lifetime we all would like to see the world but rarely do, because we cannot afford it, or we are too old to hike and back -pack our way around, This week. I had the pleasure of reliving the adventures had by a strapping young man from Dublin, Stephen Goettler, who has just returned from a year -and -a -half of travel in Canada and abroad. Stephen, the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. George Goettler of Dublin, attended Dublin Separate School and then graduat- ed •from grade 13 at Mitchell District High to continue on to achieve his degree in Georgraphy from the University of Guelph. After graduating in April of 1981, Stephen went to Edmonton and worked in con- struction for four months and also as a doorman at the leading hotel in Edmonton to acquire enough capital to travel on. Stephen journeyed by bus to the West Coast and down into the United States. He spent a few weeks in Florida where he met other young men, mostly Germans, seeing the world as he was. They spent a few weeks snorkling and camping on the beaches enjoying the sun before he flew to Panama City and Lima. Peru, where he spent about four weeks. During this time Stephen took bus trips through the country side and to Columbia and to the Andies. Here a mixture of Spanish and Quechha was spoken, a type of Indian dialect. The poverty in these countries was unreal. People slept in old cars. on the streets and in tents. Finding a job here was virtually impossible as everyone was his own businessman, trying to sell you anything they could find. The 'poor were • STEPHEN GOETTLER illiterate as education was only accessible to the well-to-do class. While travelling in these poor countries, one had to be alert at all times as 'one's belongings wodld easily disappear along with your cash if you had any. Stephen j'emarked that he always wore a moneyobelt in order to carry safely his personal valuables, and hard-earned cash. The climate was very hot and water pollution was high which made the risk of infectious- diseasc extremely large. CARACUS . From here Stephen flew to Caracus, Venezuela, which is a real swinging city. It was qu;te industrial, particularly with its oil, 1t had the .appearance of being very sophisticated but like the previous count- ries, it also had a great deal of poverty. The people here spoke Spanish so any intellectual conversations were impossible as Stephen ,only spoke a little German. French and of course English. He had to11c quite self-sufficient and a fast learner to get, around. Stephen met Up with more young lads with whom he travelled during his five weeks here in'this area. 1n order to see the countryside he took bus trips which were. rattier different from the bus trips here. One would ride on the bus for 20 hours and only cover 200 to 300 miles as the roads were something else. Along with the 40 to 50 passengers on the bus people would also bring their goats (1 guess this is called bringing your nanny along) and their chickens along and they weren't always in a cage either. Stephen then took a flight to Holland -.herehe spent a few weeks hiking and going, by bus through Holland, Belgium, Germany and Switzerland. These countries each held a unique beauty centered around their cultural heritage and geographical structure, and all held one thing in common, which was their friendliness particularily among the rural folk. COMMONWEALTH Before leaving Canada, Stephen acquir- ed a Commonwealth visa, which enabled him to work up to two years as a casual labourer but not in any professional position such as a teacher, doctor, etc., in the countries of England, Northern Ire- land, Scotland and Wales. Stephen then spent the next 10 months working in Cheshire, northern England. First on a dairy farm helping to milk 85 Holstein cows. cutting haylage and with the cultivation of the potato crop. The average weekly earning for a six day -'week was approximately 5120, so to supplement his income he refinished furniture in the evening and on the weekends. His second job was as a woodsman, when he planted young saplings, cut �i underbrush, and prunned trees such as mountain ash, oke; larch and sycamore. When -work slowed down, Stephen took a brief holiday and hitch -hiked across Wales and went by ferry to Dublin, Ireland, Waterf rd, Cork, Connaught, Donegal, Galway, Londonderry and Belfast. Stephen found the people on both sides of the border friendly and hospitable. FALKLANDS When Stephen was working in England, nationalism among the people was high as .the Falklands war was in full swing. On his return home he stopped off in New York for a few days. Teo many people, New York is the glamour spot of •the world but not to Stephen It was huge, unfriendly and the 'hustle -bustle pace was over- whelming. Upon his returning home to Dublin the most obvious question was yet to be asked. "Did he miss home?" Yes, for Dublin may be small but the fresh green countryside, and the friendly atmosphere in the community is heavenly. To be with family and friends is priceless. When asked which country was the most impressive, Stephen calls northern England the top spot. It was quiet, beautifully, green and fresh, apd the most fun was trying to understand the dialects. By now many of you are wondering what would be the reason for a young lad to -'see parts of the world in this manner. Stcphen's answer is quite good. He stated tial he was young, he wanted to pay his own way and he had a great desire to see the world in person and not only from a book. It is also his desire to travel to further parts of the world some day such as China. Russia and Phillipines. Stephen is now working with his father in their furniture' business in Dublin.
