Chinese school

I have been quite enjoying watching " Chinese school" on BBC.

However, I do worry at how hard these students seem to be pushing themselves. Although I know there must be a greater number of slackers who were not profiled.

Having also been very study oriented myself, I do wish that I had failed if that meant enjoying myself with wanton abandon.

I wish I had spent more time doing in my youth even if it changed my CV.

1. - Cooking,
My skills remain rudimentary at best and many of my mother's recipes have died with her. For this I will happily take four I's instead of seven.

2. - Planting trees,
If I had spent time planting trees ten years ago I would have a ten year head start in my alternative retirement plan as well as reducing my carbon footprint. For this I would take a II in English A and a III in English B.

3. - Hiking around Trinidad,
I wish I knew had seen more of this tiny island so I would have a memory given how fast it is changing. I give up Biology completely to know the taste of the soil, the phases of the moon and how to track tattoo.

Caroni Bird Sanctuary Tour

I swear that was a stuffed caiman.

Nice to see the birds though.

Racial Relations

Whilst I do think Harry was intent on grandstanding. The fact is that he was right. I'm losing my indian looking friends and coworkers much faster than my african looking ones.

Do some Indian businesses have racist hiring policies?
Definitely.

Are Indians being systematically targeted by "criminials" ?
Definitely.

No Kikuyu in the Karen District should really say they are surprised by what they are seeing.
