Birthday Dinner!

Hey hey!


I went out tonight for my friends birthday. Her birthday was a few days ago, but we just had the dinner tonight. It was really fun. The birthday girl's meal didn't arrive. I tried to be polite and not eat until she got hers, but I ended up eating my fries. After we paid we sat there for a good hour just chatting. It was really nice. What is better than good friends and good conversation? 


Before that Sean and I went to the Conservatory! I didn't know we had one! It was really cool! I saw plants from Asia, Australia, Mexico and South America. We saw trees that grow bananas, coffee beans, oranges (but they were not in season yet)  and lemons. I was very surprised to see that in Northern Ontario! I know it was in a conservatory, but still. There was also a room dedicated to cacti. I don't understand why more people don't go there. It was nice that it was pretty much  empty so we weren't bothered.  I think it would be a great spot to take the kids. I am sure that the kids would like all the pretty flowers and the different trees  and bushes. 


Last night I watched a movie about two guys riding around on a motorbike and just exploring. It made me really want to drive across Canada or Australia. Tonight I turn on one of my favourite shows, House Hunters International. Guess where they are, Australia! Maybe it is a sign! I like to think so. If my sister and I don't go on a trip in 2014 I want to travel around somewhere. I want to travel before somethings ties me down, like boyfriends, kids, jobs, and blah blah blah. 


News:


Anyone remember Egypt? Well Egypt still has to do work on giving justice to those killed or injured during the rallies to kick President Hosni Mubarak out of power. According to reports human rights were abused during the unrest in Egypt. 


Remember Japan? The country with the world's third largest economy? Well at least it used to be. Since March the gross domestic product (GDP) fell 0.09%. Japan has fallen back into a recession. Reports say that  consumption and exports were hit hard after the earthquake and tsunami. It is assumed that the economy will remain weak for a few years but will bounce back. 


Those are my stories and news recaps for the day. Let me know what you think. Three for three! Yay! Although this one is really short. My bad.
