where in Vancouver do u live dude?

[Wadaay]

These plans are ancient history.

[James Dahl]

Downtown, as of a week ago. Before then I lived just east of Commercial Drive and 3rd.

[James Dahl]

From 1936 to 1941 this was how East Africa was administered.

nice city, i stayed near Jericho Beach for a month or so back in 98

[James Dahl]

It is, though it's changed a lot in the last 10 years and the city's not as nice as it once was. Hopefully the next decade will be better.

the map kinda looks like if ethiopia were to colonize, just include the british SL and we're set...lol

james, are you a history major by any chance?

[James Dahl]

No, though some day I'd like to go back to school and get a history degree.
I did quite badly in school due to a learning disability that, quite specifically, makes it more difficult for me to memorize particular sequences of information. As this is all anyone is asked to do in elementary and high school I did not have good enough grades to go to university, even though I actually knew and understood far more than my friends and classmates who did go on to university.

I have found ways to deal with this and move on in my life to a quite successful career, but I always wanted to go to university, and it's my one real regret in life.

ah interesting, i got a mid term for a sub-saharan african history class im taking so i was wondering if you had extensive knowledge of the southern and western part of the continent aside from the horn?

[James Dahl]

I do! I know something about just about every part of Africa, ask away.

[FAH1223]
