  • Paris wrap-up

    My 9 days of vacation is going to an end.  Back to Ottawa's family berry picking weekend.  Fun...  I didn't realize Europeans like North America so much.  To them, it is a country of progression, a country which leads the rest of the world in thinking and technology.  They love american stuff from tv series and movies to songs to american fashion.  We like Adidas, they like Nike.

    My folks' old schoolmates have travelled around the world.  They concluded that Vancouver, Sydney, and Melbourne are the top three cities to live in.  Factors include weather, comfort, crimes, medical, access to good stuff including asian food so believe or not, USA didn't make it to the list.

    Vancouver seems so boring.. It is my hometown.. Hometowns are always boring.  I would rather live in crappy cities then.  I just can't imagine living in one city for life.

    Went to wedding, London, Paris.  Wrap up on everything I wanted to see and do in Paris.  Good, I never need to go to Paris again.  Only practical trips for the next year.  Met so many youngsters and had a decent time. 岁月无情。

    Insanity doesn't have to be a tendency to scream or go bursurk... Nothing wrong with some insanity in life.  Might not reach the 'highest medium', but at least one can enjoy life... as long as you know when to keep yourself grounded.

    I love my coworkers.  Such nice, capable people with good integrity and ethics, but kept those to themselves.

    Torturing myself by listening to french radio.. sooo nostalgic..  Instead of avoidance, I welcome it.  I am sadistic.
