I am an american 我回台湾的时候

It's times like this that I feel like a complete American. 3 reasons. One... still dont understand celcius, have to convert it to farenheit to know how hot it is now. Second, I'm driving and the speed signs dont mean anything to me cause its in kilometers, not miles. The fact that my van's spedometer is in miles don't help at all!! And lastly, the Canadian election. Why are we having an election? I have no clue (well, better idea now after talking to my friend)

So the current prime minister Paul Martin of the Liberal party inherited the position after his predecessor stepped down as the PM. So naturally Paul Martin, given that he's in the same party, automatically became the PM. With this power, the idiot calls for an election, with a good possibility of losing his seat.

Now we have 3 main parties in the election.... the Conservatives, Liberals, and the New Democratic Party (NDP). There's a party from Quebec but no one cares about them cause they're always angry and bitter (because tthey're French!!).

So who should I vote for? Paul Martin from the Liberals looks like a good candidate. A man that could lead a country into war because its only inevitable that Canada be dragged into another war with our American neighbours. Then there's Stephen Harper from the Conservatives. Good ideas, a strong possibility. Well then you got Jack Laydan from the NDP. Funny looking man. Looks like Jack from Jack in the Box because of his bald head and big nose. Can't vote for him!!

So again, why are we having an election? I don't know.... I am so disconnected with Canadian politics. But politic is politic. I remember the time when I was in Laos standing outside a government building. It was the Ministry of Information, meaning propaganda... Well, perhaps these 3 candidates should have a label on their forehead saying "Propganda Machine" because we all know they will not keep their campaign promises. Politicians are politicians. And yes, I am being obnoxious and cynical. =)

Alright, one more week of school left so I better get started on my research paper..... >.<

By the way, I went on a fieldtrip to Abbotsford and visited a greenhouse operation, BC Ministry of Agriculture, McLennan Creek (Organic) Dairy, Fort Wine Company (bought a bottle of wine myself), and Nathan Creek Organic Farm. I've got quite a few pics of the trip posted... lots of animal pictures.

舅舅，我妈说他大概是七月份的第一个新期会去台湾。 那我什么时候会台湾就不知道了。 现在我不能离开大学太久应为我正在等工作机会。我本来想说这个月就可以拿到工作可是教授说应为我是要九月份上班，工作机会要等到八月份，除非现在有很多工作。 现在我有找到了一个工作跟政府，再过一两个星期才会知道他们要不要我。 不要的话，我就要在等别的工作了。

如果说要等到八月份的话，那我就七月的第一个星期回台湾到我小弟去日本玩三到五天然后回台湾。 那带在台湾多久就不知道了。 需要看飞机情况。 我也不能带太久。 大概只能几天而已。 如果这工作要我的话，那回台湾带久就没有问题。

我解释得懂吗？ 我得国语还不是说很好所以大概会说得不清楚。

除了回台湾的事，我现在只有生一个星期的课。 这就后一个星期要写个报告，总共要十张长。 这星期会很忙的。

还有，上个星期三我跟我的学校去了Abbotsford, 离无根华一个小时。 我有些照片。 如果你想看的话， 你需要在上网中间的Photo Gallery, 那绝后是我的照片。 到了时候找Abbotsford, 进去就有几个照片。 有很多动物。

如果找不到的话跟我讲。
