Tottori Sand Dunes and Canada going awry

So today we got woken up at the cycling centre at 7 am... Good thing I went to bed at 11 last night or else I would, yet again, be mucho sleepy for the whole day, like yesterday.

So after breakfast at 8:30 am we went to the Tottori Sand Dunes. It was super duper gorgeous. The weather was sooo perfect. It's basically a GIGANTIC beach filled with hills and tons of sand. When other Japanese people or foreigners think about Tottori, they think of the sand dunes. It was absolutely spectacular... We toook tons of pictures there... Sadly, the IFA only allowed us to stay 20 minutes there. (poo on their heads)

So then we were told that we were going to take a freakin tour of the Tottori Library. We left the f#@^&#$en sand dunes to go take a tour of a library. We walked through the building and they pointed out different sections and that we were allowed to get library cards. Not to mention that this library is FAR away from our residence and the university campus.

So afterward we jumped back on the bus and we headed back to the International Exchange plaza where we had the party yesterday. Guess what we did... we had a 1 hour lesson on how to sort garbage in Japan. We left the amazingness of the sand dunes to take a tour of a library and learn to sort garbage.

So what's the f#$#$@ is going on in Canada. I leave the country for 2 weeks and the people go bazerk. How in hell are they even considering a Conservative government. okay... there is the sponsership scandal, but it seems like Canadians are hearing about it for the FIRST time considering
the sudden reaction. Stephen Harper and his goons are a bunch of red neck social-conservatives that's going to turn the social-liberalism, which a lot of Canadians take pride on, upside-down. I can see issues like same-sex marriage, immigration rights, and minority rights slowly going down the drain. Can you imagine "Foreign Affairs Minister Stockwell Day" or "Prime Minister Stephen Harper"??? The very thought of it makes me want to vomit. So thats my overseas rant. If there's an election this summer, my proxy vote will be there.
