Cultural differences

Tomorrow's the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre. Here's an article in the Globe and Mail about one protester who was jailed for 10 years for throwing eggs at a portrait of Mao...what a crazy world we live in. Sometimes I forget how privileged it is to live in a free country.

Funny quote from the article though, about adapting to his life in Canada now:

He is amazed by the squirrels that scamper freely in the park, with no one trying to slaughter and eat them. And he is stunned by the traffic.

"Canadians stop at red lights. Even when no one is around, they wait for it to turn green. If only people in China were like that. What a civilized country this is!"

Weird image in my head of ppl chasing after squirrels in the park trying to hunt them down... :P
