Vancouver - Number 1 City to Live in The World*
* according to a commission of orcas, most probably.
Can anyone tell me why there are three Canadian cities in the top ten of this ubiquitous list? This is a country where the temperature reaches the chilling depths of -40 degrees celsius. The national food is something called poutine, which is fried potatoes with cheese curds. That's right. Curds. I can only estimate at the criteria established for judging who makes it, and who doesn't, on this list. The ones cited are infrastructure, availability of goods and services, and risk of terror attacks. They failed to mention, however, 'country whose military forces wear the spiffiest uniform' and 'country most likely to have six beavers per rural acre'. That would definitely put Canadian cities ahead by an unfair mile.
Check out this link. It's quite funny who will honour hairy-chested Welsh studs these days. Will there be lots of panty throwing by frenzied women? What could possibly revere him better?http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/wales/3577171.stm
My last long weekend in Korea passed in a nicely warm glow. We visited the zoo, where it became clear exactly how many children and strollers there are in this child-infested country. We also saw hippos. They were wallowing. Mike was devastated because the beaver display, where when we last saw them, they were industriously building an aimless dam, had been removed in favour of some irritated looking turtles. We also went to Jogyesa, a temple where previous royal family members souls are said to be held in stone tablets concealed within grandly built shrines.
I have never seen the Buena Vista Social Club but I saw a performance last night at Ewha Women's University, The Bar At Buena Vista and was suitably impressed. The music was chilled and one of the original singers, Reinaldo Creagh, is a stunning 87 years of age and still singing. He even threw in a dance. Clearly, Cuban cigars and rum can put in a good claim for the old 'Fountain of Eternal Youth' title. It was really enjoyable. Next month, I am going to see Omara Portuondo so I will be a veritable expert concerning Cuban music. Well, I will know one of the singer's names.
