Racist apart, its pretty much the Goichi attitude in Kanada no? I often wonder if their lives (Goichis who live in Kanadian burbs, like Mississauga etc) are empty....where everything is perfect....nicely manicured lawn, house with bargain stuff from Sears or some such and so pretentious and worried about who they have for neighbors, who they socialize with. When one makes the social rounds, its rather sickening. And the conversation is often unbearable, the cheezy jokes and the labored humor. Ofcourse, everything comes alive with a drink or two, ofcourse consumed in some deep discounted crystal!!!
Am only visiting this place and say, so empty, so plasticky, so perfect.....aye, I feel sick already!!! I mean, where else can one go once the house is stuffed, the booze cabinet overflowing and the pants size don't keep up with the growing waist. On the other hand, I'd rather stay away from the drunken, unruly and noisy Brits for neighbors for sure, racist or not. Sometimes, one has to look at oneself, rather than the neighbors...though the neighbors wife won't be that bad!!!!!
