Midnight
Woke up to find my Murasaki only @ 1/2 battery. Guess putting it on speaker full blast didn't help. At least the room is cooled from leaving the window open all night. And that weird smell is gone too. I now look at the jet tub with suspicion. Seems like we haven't covered all the stuff that they wanted, w/ people starting to leave @ 11:30 a.m. Staffing is not sinking in for me. I'll have to play with it more, but it seems illogical w/ how you attach someone. Well at least the Intelligence manager is now a FSWEP student. Ha ha ha.
13:00
Went to lunch with Jane. She seemed lonely b/c her flight doesn't leave until 19:00 and she already checked out. Ate at the Pho restaurant again b/c it's next to the hotel. Also could drop off all the course material and newspapers. The drive to the Science and Technology Museum was long, and I was probably bouncing in my seat. Good thing I got a museum map b/c it's kinda confusing, like IKEA w/o the arrows. Totally skipped past the canoes, and then went back when I was waiting for an old man to finish reading about the Titanic. Didn't know there were so many ways to join together a canoe. Anyways, a lot of the displays were geared to kids, but it was still good. They had entire trains in there, and I tried to take a shot of one, but it involved 5 shots, and w/o a tripod or a marking line, when I tried to merge the shots together, it just looked wierd.
Actually a lot of the pics I tried to merge looked wierd. I feel so sad I had to stand on the little kid step stool to see out the space shuttle's windows. Took a bunch of pics of different devices and Lego display. Spent a lot of time in the space exhibit. I tried getting onto one of those old time bikes. It was pretty-hard, seat-wise and agility-wise. Took a lot of random shots, which I'm really wishing I'd included a pic of their description plate of. Just stuff that looked neat. Ran out of time as expected since I didn't leave the hotel until about 13:45. Bought more gifts. Nothing for me though. The cool T-shirts were all in youth size. Riding back to the hotel, I passed by a building that was for the Conference Board of Canada. Why?! Seems so Dilbertish.
21:00
Ate at Totoya for their all-u-can-eat sushi. It's a bit different in that you don't order the sushi you want, but the waitress brings the trays of rolls by and you pick how many you want. Then after you look at them all, you can request specifics for seconds/thirds etc. So stuffed but you gotta get your $20.95 worth. Waddled my way to the bank. Had to get thru a bunch of people waiting for the bus. So disgusting with people spitting on the sidewalk, dealing dope and not getting out of the way. Thought I was going to get pickpocketted trying to get through the crowd. Caught a cab as I walked out of the bank, so that was cool. Finally got onto the Internet but it didn't have a USB port in the front and I forgot to charge in class. Crap. Well, charging my phone in the room though. Wish there was some adapter for Murasaki so I don't always have to plug it into a computer.
