Culture

We went to the Salvador Dali exhibit at Exco with Joy today. Its an impressive building on the northside of the city. The exhibit was surprisingly popular and interesting. Salvadore was an interesting guy. They put in all of his famous quotes, like "you cannot make anything without copying something" and other such profundities. The best one was,

"When he fell into the circle of mostly Marxist surrealists who denounced as enemies the monarchists on one hand and the anarchists on the other, Dalí explained to them that he personally was an anarcho-monarchist."

Last night we went out to see the last show of a rock group made up of foreigners here, some of whom are going home. The place pretty much only had foreigners, including a number of people from Ottawa, and many from Canada. I'm becoming more and more surprised by how many Canadians there are here. It seems basically 3 out of 4 are Canucks. Some Irish, soms scots, a few americans, a few kiwis, but all in all its us northmen dominating the scene. Later we went to dancing, which was thrilling as always. Everyone else seems to love it, so there yougo. Commune, the first bar, really is vastly over-rated...

Also we went to a western restaurant with Joy this evening. Chicken quesedillas all the way. Kind of feels like cheating, but sometimes you need a rest.
