Well, I finally got over my "culture" shock from being in the US which means that I am no longer converting prices into Canadian dollars. (And I no longer have to be really careful paying for things because the money here is not all the same colour). I am hoping that my last entry did not sound anti-American as I believe that the people cannot be held responsible for US foreign policy especially when it looks like many of them do not agree with what is going on with Mr. Bush's crew... My guru had this site posted on her site with a special note to me and I must say that it did make me a little more hopeful that this war will not happen easily. Give the country a face and people are less likely think of those who live there as monsters or evil.
My week has been uneventful mainly because I spent the whole time stewing over the lack of organization that one of my bosses had at the office. This meant way too much pressure and overtime. It did teach me one thing though... if the bosses don't have the foresight to keep things running smoothly, then I shouldn't really worry about it either. After all, they are getting paid the big bucks and get all the glory when things look great, they should also take responsibility when their lack of good management skills cause a breakdown. Once I learned that, the stress pretty much disappeared!
Last night, I went to the National Geographic Imax Theatre at the Royal BC Museum in my city. We saw the IMAX film India Kingdom of the Tiger and I must say that it brought yet more tears to my eyes. I love when the message that we are all responsible for taking care of the planet and all her creatures. We are ultimately responsible for the destruction of the ecosystems that we live in and these kinds of films help to spread that message. The film itself was not one of those cute Disney-like films but brought the message of the tigers and how man and nature and these tigers are intertwined. I must admit though that the depth-of-field for those cameras must be quite small. However, you should check it out. It is quite beautiful.
I think that is it for today. I am at an internet cafe doing this today as I didn't have time to update this week.
PS I just wanted to say thanks to Takara who commented in my last entry. It's good to know people are reading... Keep in touch, alright?
