The travels of Justin

We were just outside our friend’s house for about 30 minutes waiting for someone. Here’s a few interesting things we noticed:

• A Bently
• The sign that measures sound also reports on SO₂ (76), NO₂ (76), and PM10 (99).
• A 2-level dragon vehicle that looked like it belonged in a parade drove by with a band playing gongs or something. They had a big sign and we guess that the noise was to attract people to read it. My favourite detail was the beautiful 5-foot tall vases on the upper deck.

Yesterday, the electrical connections on our trolley bus came unhooked in the middle of a busy intersection. The lines were tangled so all the men, including us, got off the bus to push it forward a bit. Still tangled, they were not certain what to do, but I managed to grab the handle and wiggle the wires free so we could continue our trip. Too bad I still had to pay my busfare.

Last night I had a hip-hop dance battle with my German friend. He wanted to be extra cool and was smart enough to know that dancing against the guys in the centre of the floor was only going to end up bad. Those who know me will agree his choice of competitors gave him an easy victory. It was a great night of dancing and we didn’t make it home until 5:30 AM.

I think we’re going out for Nepalese food tonight and Ryan and I are going to try everything we can to have Italian tomorrow. Somehow we started talking about cannelloni and now I really can’t get it out of my mind.
