There is ALWAYS time for a good cliche

I know everyone does this, but this song sort of exactly sums up how I'm feeling right now.

Everybody's talkin 'bout,
Planet earth
Rebirth
United nations
Good relations
Space stations
Starvation
Radiation
Salvation
Education
Liberation
All we are saying is give peace a chance
All we are saying is give peace a chance

Everybody's talkin' 'bout
Civil war
Revolution
Armageddon
No solution
Are we facing
Vietnam
We don't want to
Drop the bomb
All we are saying is give peace a chance
All we are saying is give peace a chance

Everybody's talkin 'bout
Acid house
Gay spouse
Green house
Heavy metal
Hip hop
Censorship
Has to stop
HIV
AZT
New kids dance on
MTV
With toxic waste dumps in the sea
All we are saying is give peace a chance
All we are saying is give peace a chance
All we are saying is give peace a chance
All we are saying is give peace a chance..

Everybody's talkin 'bout
Amazon's
Trees gone
Cancer cells
From the sun
Middle east
Crazy beast
Rock n rollers
Sing for peace

Free Burma

In support of the pro-democracy protesters in Burma - keep it up - the world is cheering you on. This is a part of the Support Burma; International Bloggers' day.

Note: Saturday, October 6 is the Day of Action for a Free Burma. This is a worldwide event, with protests in major cities everywhere. I'll be in Toronto.

I'd also like to post this email I've just received. People have been emailing companies working in Burma to urge them to pull out until the present military-run government adopts a democratic system. The people at Voyages to Asia were not so sympathetic. In fact they were downright rude. I'm a bit disgusted actually.

Hello,

I travel a lot, and I was just wondering what your company is doing at the moment to support the pro-democracy movement in Burma. Many other companies have decided to pull out of Burma until the current government stops intimidating their citizens and accepts a democratic vision. What is your stance on this?

Thank you,

Madeleine Smith



We send about 500 travellers a year to Burma and will continue to do so, we do not care who you are and what you think.

Wow. I'm not giving up here. For crying out loud, I didn't ask for them to change policy (yet), I just asked a question. I'll be replying to this very soon.

So, have you heard much about the crises in Burma? I'd like to know

week 10?

Secret: I like writing lists.
Truth: I don't generally follow my own lists.
