Totally agree Lise.  I diss my own kind very often.  I'm thoroughly disgusted.  For example, their manners.  Gosh, I could go on and on....

Tell me about it. They're so gawd-damn materialistic (my sister in HK can attest to that) and not to mention arrogant. They cake to survival of the fittest but you don't bring that kinda BS to Vancouver and expect the rest to put up with you.

I could have sworn I'd seen this before, and I had....right here, in fact, back in June.

The real trouble with reality is that there's no background music.

  Never give up hope, Kitten. You never know what's round the corner.

Not knowing what's around the corner can also be a cause for pessimism.
Thousands of years ago cats were worshipped.  They have not forgotten.

I agree, but I am of the opinion that if you look for bad things you find them, and vice versa.

I prefer to look for good things, such as a chance to spend time in the British Isles.

LOL, I dont know about driving. On one hand you can say bad drivers, on the other hand look at china, it was mayhem but theres only been cars available for a few years now and everyone seems to have one. Everyones not used to it, give it a generation and I am sure there will be no problem. In my opinion thats part of the problem with richmond, and everyone seems to blame asians for bad driving cause thats the visible majority. Theres some bad drivers everywhere in every race. That being said I avoid richmond at all costs (along with downtown mind you), but I do love Richmond Sushi...

  Uh, purelife. lol, what do you mean by iron ring on my finger? and oh great another vancouverite?

  Anyhow, back to the schoolwork.

Hey Russ, heard of Richmond Sushi.... that place any good? Where the heck is it? We tried to look for it one day then gave up. Do they have all-u-can-eat?

People can't drive here. I think is an epidemic everywhere to be honest.

 Earlier, you mentioned that you were upgrading your Engineering courses.  And I found out that Engineers wear this little iron ring on their pinky finger to distinguish that they are Engineers.  

 What I meant from another Vancouverite was that I'm from Vancouver as well and I just post on this Seattle forum because I don't like DV as much as I used to.  It's just funny to see more and more Vancouverites are on here, that's all.

Wow, those photos have been haunting me all day.
And then a weird thing happened, I dropped by my local library and wandered over to the manga shelf.
My eye was immediately drawn to a hard cover book that seemed out of place.
It's called Pyongyang: A Journey in North Korea. It's a graphic novel from this Quebec artist named Guy Delisle, and the thing is simply amazing.
He makes the same sort of observations as the photographer this thread is dedicated to, but it's so very cool to see the same things in cartoon form.
Plus, the insights are a little more in-depth since Guy had to work in North Korea for 2 months. The book is dark by its nature, but the author's humor shines through on every page.
Highly recommended. Go to your library at once!!! The Great Leader commands it!    ;)
 
For thou art with me; thy cream and thy sugar they comfort me
Thou preparest a carafe before me in the presence of Juan Valdez
Thou anointest my day with pep; my mug runneth over
Surely richness and taste shall follow me all the days of my life
And I will dwell in the house of coffee forever.

I don't know if I'd find it tenkani anything written by a Canadian or about Canada is banned in my library.

  Only funny thing at the library is that next to Bill O'Rielly books is George Orwell's novels. lol
