Just way too many people and I would also have such long face as well if I have to wake up so early and go to a crowded place during my day off.

Too bad! Wendy's burgers taste much better than McD's.

Don't like hot spring and all those. It is just too hot for me. I prefer the water to be around 15-20 degree C even in winter time when it is below 0. It pretty much wakes me up.

1st impression - evil elf.
A dubbed version of House, that is odd. The snobbishness of Dr. House would probably be lost in translation.

Thanks! GW.
I do not know why I always take the route that goes to US though. Actually, up to the point the US custom pretty much recognize me. I prefer Ottawa more than Toronto as I actually spend a lot of my time in Ottawa. Toronto, it just that I have an office there. But, still observing people in the terminal is quite entertaining. Same as when I observe people on the train.

MBA? Basically, just 3 basic principles, Customers want the best service/products for their dollars, stock holders want the highest return for their investments and the employees want the best benefit. It was just basically balance those things out. However, recently it becomes, jack up the short term profits and get the highest bonus you can get and jump ship before it sinks. Ignore the wails and morals of the employees. Out source everything to low paying countries even though they could not support the products.

If only they have direct flight to Toronto or Ottawa. On the other hand, I enjoy sitting at the terminal and observe people. They are really fun to watch.

When I graduated from university (many many moons ago), I had sent out over 100 resumes and after a while finally landed a job. Switched to another job after a year. The second one was fun, I had to travel a lot in many places that you normally would not travel to. I can only say that university degree does help you to get in the door; however, as many have already know what you learned in university is pretty much useless in the real world. It only proves that you have the ability to learn. The company also expect that (at least when I interview people, I would not expect them to know what we do, but at least they have to know what they have been doing), company will re-train you to the post you are hired anyway. The only advantage from University educations is the method you gain from studying and projects.

Is it Spanish or Catalan? My brother-in-law lives and works there. He told me that they do not speak Spanish there, it is Catalan and people there regards themselves as higher social class than the rest of Spain.

Christmas, holiday and sleep in. Never like turkey, too big and tasteless. Prefer fried chicken anytime over turkey. Of course, my wife will cook the turkey as usual and I will only eat the thighs until she uses the left over for some other dishes like fried rice, etc.
