ok, so maybe Boston's 80's channel, http://player.play.it/player/player.html?v=4.1.25&id=2105&onestat=wbzw-fm , plays Whitesnake all the time. Well, Whitesnake wrote the songs to my life and I love it.
I found a place at the mall where I can get a spinach wrap for about $3. I spent some time talking to a Phillipino at Caribou Coffee. We discussed taxes, coffee vs Turkish coffee vs cappucino and Canadian imigration. He was very effiminate (affeminate,...) he behaved in a feminine way. I think he was freaking out his Indian co-worker a little. It was funny. They were nice. I'll stop back next weekend for a chat.
I talked to my cab driver, BJ too. He's from Yemen, lived in America for a while, and came over for a business deal with his friend. As it seems to happen a lot here, his friend screwed him over and he's driving a cab now. He dresses, speaks, and mostly acts Western. Which if you don't know, we - Americans, are westerns. Asian, Indians, Phillipinos, etc are easterns. I don't like all these categories but they make a difference over here. Anyways, BJ speaks excellent english including slang, inuendo, and humor. He has been a great resource. He's always telling me to be a good. Ha Ha. He's muslim and wants me to be behave. Cab drivers know all your business. They are the ones taking you places in the middle of the night that you shouldn't be going to! LOL. He is tolerant and willing to educate and discuss issues with Americans. I think I've mentioned him before. He's going to help me buy a new phone this coming weekend. You see as a Westerner, and as a female, they will charge me the most. I go into the store and pick out what I want. Then leave. BJ will go in after me, ask for the same thing and get a better price. I come back in and finish the deal. I want the Nokia N97. big bucks and cool stuff. But I'll have it forever and it will work in the states too when I get back. I will be able to blog from my phone at any time too. I will also be able to chat on IM. I'm excited.
