why I love them...
Sara: It’s hard to explain to somebody how intimidating America truly is and I have to say I have lots of people I love very deeply that live in the United States . .
Tegan: A lot of our family . . .
Sara: Family. Yeah, like and we really, really, really love the United States, but foreign policy or even relations between Canada and America and there’s some bullying. I know a lot of people are scared to say that, but there’s just some straight out bullying going on and it’s hard . . .
Tegan: A lot of that has to do with just the general size. How many people live in the U.S. It’s like 240 million or something like that.
Sara: But India’s got billions and they’re not walking around doing that.
Tegan: That’s what I was going to say. I know I’m just comparing Canada and the U.S. [...] You know for every one thing they have in Canada, they have a 100 of them in the U.S. There’s just so much going on here and I think that can influence a lot of the dynamic. Like, when I come into America, I feel sometimes very overwhelmed by how much there is and how much choice and how many options. I spent a week looking for these plastic zip lock bags. They’re called space savers.
Sara: I’m talking about foreign policy and like . . .
Tegan: It took me week to find them . . .
Sara: And you’re talking about plastic bags.

– The Blow
I GOT SCAMMED IN A DAOIST TEMPLE.
serenaisis:
It was in China, which means I probably should have expected some level of scammage, but the fact that it was in a temple just made it so much worse.
Didn’t mean to laugh at your pain but I did… hehe. Explain further though. Scammed to what extent?

WatchThe french site La Blogotheque is possibly the best of the ‘one-take live music video’ series. Other awesome ones include:
Shoot the Player - Australia version shooting around Sydney in places like Hyde Park. The Kaki King videos are particularly awesome
Yours Truly - More than music videos they also have a little blogging and such. Their Holly Miranda videos are what inspired me to...

uts library
crookedcages:
You fail me. Money, card reloader thing is ‘Out of Order.’ So I ask the librarian where else I can load my card and she says that there is only one machine in the entire building and that I have to walk to UTS tower building to reload. Fuck off.

Goodbye Beijing!
serenaisis:
Embarking on my first weekend trip away from Beijing to Shaanxi province, an ancient city called Pingyao to be exact. It was the financial capital of the Ming (I think) dynasty until the dynasty was overthrown. It was also where Zhang Yimou’s “Raise the Red Lantern” was filmed. Chinese history ftw!
Fingers crossed it is awesome.
Sounds awesome! History related travel is always...
