I will do my best to update more often and regularly. I'm actually in the process of making a photo gallery but the computer isn't cooperating. As for police in this country. I don't have any first hand experience at all thus far (that's a good thing in my book) but I do notice that many people here strictly adhere to the laws of the road. Anne is keen to point out the wrongs of a driver ten metres ahead of her who changes lanes without signaling, my reaction is: "What did he do wrong?" Driving styles are much different. As are other things regarding the legal atmosphere. But that's for a future blog post. Hi all,

I've enjoyed reading your postings. Clearly you are in an inferior country with paper of only the 2 and 4 holed varieties! You should probably just come home now... But if you're not going to then at least have fun. And don't worry if your application gets rejected, worst case scenario they issue an immigration warrant for your arrest...as long as you don't have any contact with the police you'll be fine! People do it here all the time. Then you'll just get a free ride back here :) Hey Tom, glad to hear from you again. I’ve enjoyed reading your postings.

I'm completely against the idea of having only two holes in centre of the long side of a page because the corners could curl easily. Two holes on the outside, at the corners, would be fine, but on the inside... I'm leaning towards no. Adam: Throwing me for a loop was exactly what the paper did. I spent like 15 minutes looking for three-holed stuff. It took me time, first to recognize, then accept the foreign paradigm. I saw four-holed paper and binders everywhere but I wouldn't accept the absence of three-holed so I kept looking and looking. Gen: It'd be great to have visitors. I'm trying my best to convince everyone to come and visit me and see this place. As for the gym membership, all I can say is: yeah I know. I remember the prices in Canada because I always wanted to go. When I heard the price here my jaw dropped and I bought it as soon as I could (I had to wait for a semester card to get the student rate). With the huge variety of things to do at the gym it's a lot of fun and I'm really enjoying it. Alesh: I agree with the neat idea of making things smaller and less space consuming.
