Last night was fun. Enjoying the different perspective. We asked a law student from the number 1 law school in Russia whether “legal ethics” was taught in law schools here… her response “what is that?” hilarious. In Russia, you do not need to attend law school to be a lawyer. There is no bar and [...]
It’s a challenge trying to do a post each day. The internet at my hotel is extremely slow, and I can only log on if I get up early. I’ve had a full schedule the last few days. Since Monday I’ve traveled extensively (as extensively as one can travel over 2 days) using the Moscow [...]
I arrived in Moscow yesterday (Saturday 3/13) at 10:45AM. The experience at the airport was weird but understandable. People surrounded us and stared at the 4 blacks in our group of 25. Apparently, blacks do not regularly arrive at the Moscow International Airport. I recently learned that their were only approximately 10,000 blacks among roughly [...]

My mind raced as I thought about sorrel, black cake, jerked lobster and jerked pork. There was also a hint [...]
One-sided, Clovis Thursday, March 12, 2009 Dear Editor, Over the past few months I’ve both been humoured and disgusted by your editorial cartoons. The press plays one of the most important roles in any democratic society, and should be used as a tool to provide objective concise information to the public. That in one week [...]
I’ve been wanting to write for some time, but I’ve been having so much fun work to do. Christmas exams are coming up, and the atmosphere is tense. I’ve been hardly working working very hard lately. (This feature is so cool… I just discovered it. lol) Hopefully I’ll get an opportunity to do a good [...]
published: Tuesday | November 11, 2008 The Editor, Sir: The evening was amazing. A crowd of several thousands scrambled for a front seat view of history. We were a coalition of races, classes, age groups and backgrounds, united under the category of humanity, to one united message – we are greater than what divides us. [...]
