Yeap, it’s official, I’m in Canada, taking part in the Worlds Debating Championships 2007.
Staying at the Sheraton in Vancouver. Room isn’t as good as should be expected, but anyway, since I’m not paying, probably shouldn’t be complaining.
The organization is a bit messy, but I guess I couldn’t really complain about that either, since there are 339 teams in this year’s competition. Took us a good few hours to get registered and checked into our rooms.
But I was able to sneak out and do some walking around. Vancouver’s very clean, and the street’s quite quiet too. That doesn’t mean that there isn’t traffic or commotion; just that the cars are very orderly and refrain from honking.
Witnessed an interesting demonstration today too, in front of a fashion store. A girl was wearing only underwear, protesting against fur clothes that the store allegedly promoted or something. The temperature was quite cold, so I admire her courage. A policeman stood nearby.
