Life is simply full of funny incidents and characters. Just today, i was being locked out of my AVM room due to low battery input from the door. There i was standing outside the room with rachele with a pot of cooked potatoes and hotdogs soaked in loads of amount of oil - gross. It takes a whole 30 mins for the technician to figure out how to open the door with the main ket * he is using the physical manual anyways wow i'm surprised i thought they are supposed to be efficient* and yeah we ended up being the experiment of the first case of locked out door due to low battery which even the master key is unable to open but need to open with a computer programme. Thanks for the first experience dear GOD on my wonderful exchange!
And the potatoes do not turn out right - it's supposed to be cylinder though - turned out mashed up. But nevertheless it's cooked - appearance wise of my first experimental sweet and sour potatoes with hotdogs - gross the aftertaste awesomeness! I think i need to get real potatoes next time round. Too humble to take a photo of my first attempt!
Finally had my ideas together for my project proposal plan for China Industrial Relations. Got to get my act together and not fail the 2nd round of test this time - pathetic 0.25 marks away from borderline. But apparently this module is hard to digest but at the same time pretty exciting and interesting to read on.
The weather is brilliant, 28 degrees on the weather radar, as we head down to our perfect getaway roadtrip, a 6 hours drive and exactly 327km from the town of Winnipeg, to the famous international peace garden. The drive is pleasant, although long, but we could see lands and lands of farming - crops of wheat, sunflowers and hays. Everything was basically flat, only occasional forestation to shade us from the shining sun.
The international peace garden concept was intended to represent a celebration of peaceful coexistence between two nations, the United States and Canada, illustrating to the world their commitment to world peace. The peace tower stands at 120 feet high. The four columns symbolises the four corners of the earth, from which thousands of immigrants arrived in Canada and US in 1800s and 1900s. Two columns stand in Manitoba and two in North Dakota, facing each other in two similar but separate societies. The 4000 miles long border lies in between is the longest undefended boundary in the world.
A botanical garden encompassing 2,339 acres of nature's beauty housing two pristine fresh water lakes, scenic drives, formal and wildflower displays, waterfalls and large variety of North American birds and animals. Not forgeting a peace chapel, displaying meaningful remembrance of Sept 11 as well as a Bell Tower, which rings every 15 mins during warmer months in remembrance of 2 sons of their loving mother.
