I first read Animal Farm in HS. Of course, HS was much easier in those days; there were fewer states to memorize, all you had to know about geography is that the world was broken up into either British or Spanish colonies, most science hadn't been invented yet, etc.

And, oh, yeah - I had to walk 10 miles to school everyday in the snow - backwards!

Seriously, I enjoy the differences in English slang and customs among the English speaking nations (since I don't speak hardly any other languages, I don't have the same knowledge base of other countries). Living in the Pacific Northwest as I do, I frequently get up to Canada. Besides calling elevators "lifts" and having a different floor numbering system in buildings, my favorite part is being able to legally buy aspirin with codiene over the counter

I think these pills are called "2, 2, 2s". They sure help after a weekend of 8 rec games.

On my side of the country getting up into Canada usually
means you're gonna be talking mostly French. Well,
maybe French Canadian. "Par-lay voo fran-say, eh?"
