we had our usual post-class drinks tonight and the big tv screens which usually have the hockey on were showing the US election. there were people cheering and booing and hanging off the balcony. i was all excited cos i thought they were engaged with the political process. turns out it was a drinking game (take a sip if someone says 'iraq', etc.). still.
us grad students were very interested. see my explanation of the goverment system, in true pub style:
as i said to bbb, you'd never tell it was the election of a foreign country. the two are so intertwined. when we left it was looking very close. it still makes me nervous to be so close to america.
