GASP

my first year in europe has come to an end. fortunately for my sanity i am staying here next year. (so most likely i'm retiring from games yak yak yak).

however, i've been reading all y'all's news from North America and I'm ashamed to say that I have ZERO idea what is going on. is anything different over there? please explain how north american society has changed since Aug 25 2007.

and i remember coke was $1, gas was about $1/L, and they hadn't yet finished the extention on my old university building.

:iiam

ps i'm flying home via Frankfurt, Germany... and will be having a frankfurter in Frankfurt. it's just something pointless to do, yet it will fulfill my life to some degree. (i also need to have a hamburger in hamburg and a berliner in berlin.)

Oddly enough there's been little talk of offshore drilling for Coke; prices on that tasty beverage haven't regulated much. I have no idea what gas prices are like in Canada (which is I assume where you're from, based on the usage of liters rather than gallons), but here in Florida, we're looking about about $4 to a gallon, which if I'm doing the conversion right, isn't much different from $1/L. And as for your university building, I have no idea where you've been going to school, but chances are the extension is still a work-in-progress.

Society's pretty much the same. My girlfriend was in France for the last few weeks, and the only thing she didn't know about was the announcement that Obama would be our Democratic nominee. But that's not even relevant to your country.

Good luck trying to fit in.

for the love of god, they're BELGIAN fries: when American soldiers arrived in Belgium in WWI they heard French (French being the language of the army at the time) and assumed they were in France, hence French.

have they invented purple monkey dishwashers yet?

Actually it refers to the French style of cutting and frying since traditionally they were juliane cut potato slices.
