Happy Easter! (I heard that only 43% of the population in UK knew the meaning of Easter, though.)
This is the first time in almost one year to update this page. Well, I should keep your English-speaking folks informed, shouldn't I?
Well, I'm now in London, studying at UCL for a year. Y'know, about Bentham and all that. Actually at the moment I'm reading Rawls and Dworkin and Nozick and others on distributive justice. Fascinating topic.
A while ago I went to Munich for a week. You can enjoy some photos that I took at this page.
With these preachers of equality will I not be mixed up and confounded. For thus speaketh justice unto me: "Men are not equal."
THUS SPAKE ZARATHUSTRA
BY FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE
Bloody hell, I'm freaking out. Two essays in one week. What am I gonna do?
`I'm so glad that I'm living in the USA.' All right, Mr Chuck Berry, you admit that it's your sheer good brute luck that you were born in the USA at that particular time and became one of the legendary rock'n'rollers (What if nobody appreciated blues or jazz or he was born in Japan?). So you should give out money to those with bad brute luck...
In the morning, it's great to listen to U2's `Where the Street Has No Name.'
I find Assam tea and English Breakfast (with a lot of milk) taste good for me. Some Japanese people go for Earl Grey, but I find it a bit too weak.
Just my luck. I'm still struggling with my first essay.
Hungry. My stomach is craving for Chinese food, but these days I don't eat proper lunch. It's for saving money and time, but this obviously can't go on for so long.
Finally finished writing one essay. But it's rubbish. Rubbish. RUBBISH.
Yet the life goes on. I have to start writing the other essay immediately.
Sometimes it doesn't help much to know that I know nothing...
Just my luck! Only half a day left and 2000 more words to go!
New words: midget (dwarf), broken home (divorce), put one's foot down (settle, resolve)
I made it! I've handed in the two essays! Well done!
I bought a plant. It's called authentique lavender.
I don't know why it's called authentique, though.
Just my luck! Late for Jurisprudence class by thirty minutes.
`The case is nothing to do with blocking access to medicines, or price fixing. It's about patents (ie profits). Patents (profits) do not block medicines. They (profits) stimulate research and development.'
`This is not about profits and patents, it's about poverty and a devastating disease.'
`Japan's interest in role-playing tends to infantilise women, with its veneration of cute, small girls. This continues in the way Japanese teenagers dress today, with their pigtails and cartoon colours.'
Seen Bridget Jones's Diary. Hilarious, but not that special. Somehow lacks Britishness.
London Mayor Ken Livingstone said to Bob Kiley, a former CIA agent: `I can't believe that I am trying to recruit a CIA agent.'
Kiley answered: `Well, I find it hard to believe that I'm going to work for an unreconstructed Marxist.'
`Unreconstruted' is a funny word. I've seen another application today: `the two most unreconstructed bands on the planet, Oasis and the Black Crowes'.
Watched Life is beautiful on vcd yesterday. Fantastic. Bravo. Ciao.
One of my wisdom teeth started to ache. It's terrible and I have to see the doctor (British doctor!) soon. Just my luck!
Saw a Korean film called Joint Security Area (JSA). Excellent. Hope that film help the two devided countries to reunite themselves.
He who fight monsters must take care not to become one.

Watched Thirteen Days with friends. Blimey, it really was an American film!
