World News

It is amazing what you learn when you are in a different part of the world. There is a news program called Aljazeera based somewhere in the middle east. I am more aware of what is going on in Africa and the Middle East. Some of the stories I know is that Japan donated $63 million of rice to Ghana, the troubles in Congo, the earthquake in Pakistan, and locally the upcoming elections. I even know what is going on with the US elections. But nothing with Canada. I had to google to find out who won the elections. And when it comes to sports, it is all about soccer, soccer, and soccer. I do like soccer, don't get me wrong, but I do miss my hockey. I just check the Canucks' site for that. So travelling to another part of the world does broaden your horizons. So go for it! Travelling is the best way to learn about the world.
