First day of class
Classes commenced today. We had a very interesting lecture on the basic structure of the Chinese legal system. The professor prefaced every comment about the Chinese legal system with 'in theory.' The reality is substantially different.
We were also given our course pack. I remember now that I am not really on vacation. The course pack is 600 pages - the same length as my Criminal Law case book!
The other students seem to be interesting. It is an eclectic bunch. Two students from B.C. One from T.O. A bunch of anglo-Montrealers and the majority pure laine Quebecois.
Tomorrow we are attending a function at the Canadian embassy.
I am still looking for a bar that shows the hockey games. The other day I ran into a guy from Edmonton who attended heroic game 6. We had a couple of beers and talked about what it is like to be so far away from home. The way things are going, it looks like the Oil will be joining Langlois's squad on the golf course fairly soon!
