i have 15 minutes left on my internet cafe time, so i’m gonna try and write AT LEAST 120 words per minute (not gonna happen). that is not to say i doubt my typing skills. of the skills i have, i am not hesitant to boast about how well i type. i am fast, accurate, and dynamic. i wish they had conventions for typing. it would be the lamest convention ever – so boring – but i would do pretty good.

anyways

- brits really seem to LOVE canadians. they make fun of our accents. they want us to say words so they can laugh at us. so like… i was talking to one about a car that drove past. laughter. they asked me to say it again. “car”, i said. more laughter. they said it themselves, prounouncing it “cah”. never before has my boring drab accent provoked laughter. it is great!

- other travellers who do not speak much english are really apologetic. there are a few really nice french travellers at our hostel who ALWAYS apologize when they cannot think of the proper english word in conversation. i ONLY speak english. i make no attempt to learn their language. and yet they politely apologize for learning english! seriously nice people round here.

- i woke up in the middle of the night in the dorm room (14 beds), and realized i was talking in my sleep (which i do almost every night). i tried to remember what my dream was, hoping it was not too embarassing. i then remembered i was talking to my old dog. i looked down. i had my blankets in a pile. i was petting the blankets in my sleep like i would pet a dog. geeeeeeeeeeeeeeez

- i cannot handle people snoring.

that’s it for now! see you monday!
