That is because he is from Melbourne.
LOL. I love finding out about these things! He messaged me saying he was glad they were finally gone XD Why don't they like each other?
There was talk of adding interest to the loans, or even privatising them, which terrifies me.
Currently they don't have interest, but each year the loan is indexed (or something similar), which of course causes it to jump up in price...
I just wish that the wage repayment threshold was a bit lower, so that the debt can be paid off, it has been absolutely ballooning over the last few years.
Yeah, he mentioned about the interest possibly being added. Good luck! o.o
When in reality it's just the opposite, the Americans who travel are the ones who haven't figured out that everything they need is right here inside the Temple of Freedom.
Finally, SOMEONE BACKS ME UP HERE!
(exception: China for me :B)
Speaking of the Temple of Freedom, someone I interned with years ago, Sarah, is moving to Cleveland, Ohio because her husband got this cardiology fellowship at the Cleveland Clinic (he's a doctor). Anyway, she was asking about what Cleveland was like. Someone posted, "Hastily Made Cleveland Tourism Video: 2nd Attempt":
Omg, I died XDDD I sent it to Richard because his hometown is in Ohio, and it's kind of near Cleveland. It's a small, idyllic town with sparkling water and that sort of thing XD BUT he gets so excited if he meets someone from Ohio, especially from Cleveland. If I meet someone from Ohio or somewhere near Cleveland he'll ask me what school they went to, etc. It's like when two New Jerseyans meet for the first time and bond over where their towns are.
I don't know when he'll see it because he's still in Cuba and is on his way to Spain XD "YOU NEED TO SEE THIS, IT'S AN EMERGENCY!!!"
(Some commenters said the video is outdated, but I still love it.)
I've been listening to it all day... even when strolling around Yuyuan Gardens... XD
Before that I was watching a practice debate my Chinese friends, Reshab, and Saakshi were doing. They were debating over what liability the board of directors/company has when it comes to the suicides of factory workers. It was pretty interesting! Their tournament is next week and I might check it out! Saakshi said she hasn't debated in years and never thought she'd be doing it again in China.
I also had KFC for the first time here. Their options are really innovative and not at all like it is in the US. XD I didn't even know what to say so I chose the plain chicken sandwich and some mashed potatoes. But now I can say I've finally eaten at KFC XD
Cleeevelaaaaaaand~
