Virtual Visa or Mastercard cards are digital versions of physical debit or credit cards. They are primarily used for online purchases and offer several benefits:

Security: Since they are virtual, they reduce the risk of theft or loss. Many virtual cards allow you to set spending limits or even single-use numbers, which can prevent fraud.

Convenience: They can be generated quickly and used immediately, without the need to wait for a physical card to be delivered.

Anonymity: Some services allow you to create a virtual card without linking it directly to your personal bank account, which can add a layer of privacy to your transactions.

A little about me...

My name is Peter Fong and most of you will not have heard of me before, but sometime over the past 20 years, you may have tried some of my desserts, cakes or croissants.   Prior to enrolling into the PIDP program at VCC, I was the proud owner and pastry chef of Ganache Patisserie in Yaletown.  Opening the shop was my vision to “bring a little bit of Paris to Vancouver” and becoming established as one of Vancouver’s premier pastry and wedding cake shops was a dream come true.  However, with my lease expiring at the end of October 2023 and the total upheaval in our business due to the Covid-19 pandemic, I decided to close the business and pursue a career in teaching.  

As part of the curriculum of PIDP 3100, this blog will chronicle my journey through the program as we explore andragogy and what it means to be an adult learner.  On a more personal level, I will look at my experience in returning to academic studies, differentiating my time as a student at UBC over 30 years ago from my time at culinary school and then my career working as a pastry chef and business owner.   And having recently been hired by the Vancouver School Board as a Baker supporting the instructors in secondary school culinary programs, I hope to gain more insight from the beginning of my new career in teaching and education.

Katie had always been a well-behaved girl, with a normal life. But one day, little did she know that it was all about to change.

On that day, she was shopping with her friends when a handsome, young male Police Officer came over to them.

"You lot better hadn't get any funny ideas” he said “you do know what happens to disobedient teens, don’t you?” The girls seemed confused, but he’d walked away by know, so they just carried on shopping.

But as they were leaving, someone shouted “Catch those teenagers! I just saw them stealing”. The girls were horrified, but before they could protest the Police Officer and his colleagues swooped in, handcuffing them all and leading them to cages in the back of awaiting police vehicles.

After a while, the vehicle stopped and the back doors were opened by the handsome, young male Police Officer. He grabbed Katie by her handcuffs and led her inside what looked to be a grand, old country house.

As they approached the building, the two grand double doors were opened by a boy, who looked not a day over eighteen, dressed head to toe in a Royal Marines dress uniform; polished shoes, white gloves, the lot. His head and face were shaven, his expression was non-existent, he had no distinguishing features apart from a credit-card sized ID badge that dangled from his trousers, with a picture of what could’ve easily been mistaken for a soldier.

Katie was led upstairs, into a small dressing room with clothes hanging on the wall. “I expect you to be wearing those by the time I re-enter this room, Recruit. Do you understand?” He questioned, gesturing to the uniform hanging on the wall. Katie felt compelled to respond with “Yes, sir”. He left the room.

She began to put on her new uniform, starting with a navy blue t-shirt, then a navy blue jumpsuit. But rather strangely, there was already a tag on her uniform with her surname on: “Wilson”. She didn’t have time to contemplate it though, so she quickly slit on and laced up her heavy and restrictive leather black boots and put her Sailors cap on. Katie noticed some polish in the corner of the room, so she put some on her boots just for good measure.

That was three years ago. Today, LH Cdt Wilson won the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award for most obedient cadet. How things change!
