Vancouver. Again!

I blogged rather indignantly about this last year, when Vancouver was assessed to be the best city in the world to live. I was dubious about the claim and am just as dubious now. After all, this is from the country where news headlines like 'Beaver kills six men by repeatedly thwacking them with its tail' are a regular occurence.

However, on the upside, Melbourne, Australia, was number 2 and this is where I am considering going to university next year. This is all up in the air, of course, and will depend on whether any university will want to accept someone who has spent the last three years of her life doing as little as possible. Then again, that is pretty much the Australian dream. Why do you think there are so many beaches?

I have been smote by Korean flu once more. My Korean American neighbour, Cheong, advised me to cover myself up with as many blankets as possible and sweat it out in a night. Which is not a pleasant vision. Especially considering that I just had the crap kicked out of me in tae-kwon do by two men with muscly legs and little mercy. Trust me when I say I sweated.

One of my students compared his Korean teacher to a dog today - as a compliment. His logic was 'I like my dog and my teacher reminds me of a dog - ergo, I like my teacher.' To be honest, I have had worse chat up lines than that one so I feel that he is on the right track to a successful life.
