majiang. its a chinese game; everyone knows it and plays it, so i havebeen told. and now, now i know how to play, and can even play (badlythough), thanks to being taught last night. unfortuantely some of thetiles (like cards) have chinese characters on, including the chinesenumbers. I am not very hot on these; which doesn't help. fortunatelythe other suits in the game dont have this problem, so i just dont usethe suit that i cannot understand!
anyway, i also taught my chinese friends how to play cluekey (i donteven know how to spell it in english!); its a good game that oldpeople tend to play in england -so thats me spreading english culture.unfortuantely i only remembered about pancake day, the day afterwards,although its a christian thing, its only in england (so it seems) so imissed an opportunity. however maybe we will do it if we have ourdinner party (its being postponed).
most of you will have gathered that life is generally very fun andpositive; although i have a bit of a lack of work to do and its aholiday; which combines to just a lot of relaxing and socialising anda bit of boredom but thats ok right now, as life will get busier oncethe students get back from their holidays, my course starts and itactually allows me to see friends more which is great -properfriendships are so much more meaningful!
so i recently read the AIESEC UK new strategic plan; its weird, I havebeen so distant from AIESEC UK, i dont really know what is going onthere any more. its great, that i have finally managed to break away!on the other hand i was very happy that Mark, who was president ofmanchester after the person who was after me, is the new president ofAIESEC UK -first AIESEC Manchester person who has been MCP for a good10 years. unfortunately Bee didnt get elected; which makes me verysad, as she is enormously talented; but i am sure whatever she decidesto do will be even better. it reminds me of when i lost the electionsin 2003 and again in 2004. seems so long ago.... as does seeing somany of my friends back in the UK. I guess i'll try and get home inthe next 12 months (if i end up getting a job here in the summer),and/or encourage everyone to come visit me in the Summer (its cheapeverybody! -just last night i had to pay a 3 pounds taxi fare whichkills me and broke my budget!)
enough reminiscing for now, back to watching friends, then i thinksome cheapass food from the restaurant downstairs, before more DVDs(yay!). Hope that everyone has a great weekend.
