I’m sorry, but if a person can not figure out the metric system that’s ignorant. Probably Packers or Cowboys fan. You do realize that not everything we have in this country is the best. It is OK to adapt.
“It freezes in the winter. That takes it off my list”
Pansies! OOhhh it’s 55F, I will have to put on my North face jacket on. Weak, Weak, Weak. -20F wind chill separates hunters from gatherers. I lived in “Dull”as for three years, that my friends is crappy weather!
I just returned from Shanghai last Sunday and I think the city, country and culture are fabulous. My two young daughters are learning Mandarin, Polish and Spanish and it will only be a plus in their development as a human being. The more languages a person learns the wiser he/she becomes.
This report is a joke. I grew up in Poland and we all had full day kindergarten, you had to know the times tables to get into first grade. We had biology by fourth grade and chemistry by sixth. One of my daughters attends an all day kindergarten in a top Chicago public school (Yes, I know I know don't waste your time with the indoctrination theories). She loves it she is learning Mandarin everyday and has math homework everyday. Trust me this will not hurt her in the long run only it will help.
I will be flying from LHR on 8/16. Hesitant? Yes. Scared? No Way! But I guess no Spirytus (192' proof) in my carry-on. I hate those freakin creatures with their cabs and blowing things up. Ugly too, the whole lot.
