The non-american thread

Postby Straylight » Sun Nov 23, 2003 9:56 pm

I start this thread in the upe that some non-americans will respond.

I expect that this thread will sink to the bottom of the forum with little or no replies... ;)

PS: Oh yeah, I expect most of the response will come from Canadians (unless the thread gets hijacked :banned: )

-waves- Canadians all the way ^^ Except I was born in Hong Kong, so I'm an Asian-Canadian. I doubt it makes a difference, since I came to Canada when I was 4 ;D

I'm all... New Zealand like. NZ sucks, anyhow. If I had the choice, I'd move to America right now.

I definately plan to move out of England at some point. I do like it here, but the weather's too cold for my liking, and I've lived in another country for 3 years.

After I graduate I definately plan to get a few work placements around Asia... Singapore, Hong Kong, Korea and Japan look really cool (I used to live in Hong Kong). If I don't stay in Asia, San Jose looks like quite a sweet place to settle down.. :)

One more Canadian, this one reporting in from Steeltown.
The scientific method," Thomas Henry Huxley once wrote, "is nothing but the normal working of the human mind." That is to say, when the mind is working; that is to say further, when it is engaged in corrrecting its mistakes. Taking this point of view, we may conclude that science is not physics, biology, or chemistry—is not even a "subject"—but a moral imperative drawn from a larger narrative whose purpose is to give perspective, balance, and humility to learning.

Neil Postman
(The End of Education)

Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge

djnoz- England... -sigh- I've always wanted to go there. Any where near there... Paris is my preferred place. It looks fabulous in the postcards :D lol. Singapore is a good place to work in- the economy's pretty good. The place is really clean too ^^ Hong Kong isn't bad I guess... but Japan all the way ;D

Aibou- Dutch people are so cool!! I've met two in my life, and they had these sweet accents. I want to learn Dutch someday... lol.

I want to live in Hawaii and have a British or Australian accent, and speak 10 different languages :D The Hawaii and accent thing isn't possible, and maybe just 7 langauges... xD

Well I live in America, but I felt the urge to post here. When I get old enough I plan on traveling to England and attending Oxford for about 4 years. I would love to travle to Penbroke. But like going to England and Germany, is what I really want to live in for a decent amount of time.

Visiting Japan is not one of my high dreams but it would be nice to go there, I wouldn't mind. But my real goal is to go to England and attend Oxfard when I am atleast out of college here, I would most likely be about 27 or 28 considering of what I want to take in college, but now I am off topic.

Sorry I posted in here, I just felt the urge. If this counts at all, my ancestors are from Germany, that would be most likely my Great Great Great Grandmother and Great Great Great Grandfather. But I don't know.

Harvord is a great choice. The acadamic achievements that you will make there are outstanding. It is ranked at one of the best in our USA. I am sure, if you try your hardest, you will make it there. Just try your hardest.

Strangly I don't look very Bulgarian, I look European, my Father looks Bulgarian, I have some of his facial's when I was younger but now I just look Euro-American. And I have absolutely NO accent, even though English is my 5th language...


My dad's pastor (before he himself became a pastor) used to go on mission trips to Bulgaria.

Mostly Balgaria is nothing but Orthodox (aka catholic 2.0) (Volt sits quitly waiting for Technomancer to come in and say something) But on topic I don't exactly have a lot of but some freinds who are also from Balgaria and don't have accents nor look foreign.

i have nothing to do with America, except that I study its language and its literature and know of its culture because the country i live in was once colonized by the US of A nearly a century ago. ;) lol, how's that for non-American?
