I did accounting 101. Maybe they didn't get onto GST at the 300-level because it would scare off too many students.

It seems crazy to charge people to see 'their own' damn stuff and then charge them more…

This should include free entry to all exhibitions (not merely a discount like at present) .

The Tate and the Imperial War Museum do this in the UK, for a…

I was there yesterday and did exactly that (along…

unsurprisingly, the…

(I hope those much promised electricity blackouts haven't started by the time I get back. But if we don't have them — won't you be just a teensy bit disappointed after all the advance publicity?)

Here’s the New Zealand daily hydro lake storage graph so we can decide…

I'll be interested to know which musicians you will be talking to. Are they traditional Korean musicians or contemporary stuff?

I have been compiling a cd of Korean Hip Hop for my mate featuring all my favs such as Drunken Tiger, Defconn, Leessang, CB Mass, Masta Wu, Joosuc,…
