In fact that Mazda 121 we were driving wasn't much bigger than your moped either. At least they speak English in Tasmania, unlike Hawaii where they all speak funny like.

It's pretty sweet. maybe we should get “Inculcators” jersey’s instead? Also, I think that you're not supposed to take the bikes out of Waikiki... They have the http://www.surfnewsnetwork.com here.

Also, I think that you’re not supposed to take the bikes out of Waikiki…

The bike looks like one I hired in BC and rode around the rockies. It was well slow too and didn't perform that well along the Trans Canada Highway 1 amongst the semi's either. Didn't you check Realsurf before heading to Pipe? Then you wouldn't have bothered going all that way for nothing, bro.

Not to be confused with epipsammic diatoms :P UH is pretty laid-back and tromopical. Much less aggressive than UBC (two completely different schools). As for the literal falling apart, the campus is pretty nice, but the bio building hallways aren't airconditioned (which is ridiculous in the tropics) and the whole thing is kinda old, but they have inserted new labs in some spots. UBC on the other hand has a fat new multi-million dollar forestry centre. So I think it would be hard work and snowboarding in BC or full-on beach style with science on the side at UH. It seems like it would be very possible to work with one of the <a href="http://www.hawaii.edu/zoology/faculty/carlon.htm">assistant profs.</a> in his molecular lab. Even though I haven't ever done any molecular work he said, "We can train you up". That might be cool. Get into some indo-pacific goobidaeee/galaxidae dispersal v. vicariance work. To get into UBC you have to get one of <a href="http://www.grad.ubc.ca/awards/index.asp?menu=015,000,000,000">these Killam scholarships</a>. 12 per year for internationals across all disciplines!!!!

On a business note though, how does the UH look? Is it kinda falling apart or kinda sweet?
