Okay, My sister didn't have a job when I bought this plane ticket and decided to fly out and spend a week with her and her new baby.

Oh, but that changed a few days after I bought the non-refundable ticket. She's at work right now, as she will be for four of the seven days I will be here. Now I'm stuck in her hot house, with her chunky monkey baby and my mother, who thankfully is dealing with all the baby duties.

My dad sent two dvds with my mom for me. One of them is called Baraka. I'll just tell you what is says about it on the back cover:

Baraka, an ancient Sufi word with forms in many languages, translates as a blessing, or as the breath or essence of life from which the evolutionary process unfolds. A transcendently poetic tour of the globe, Baraka was shot in breathtaking 70mm in 24 countries on six coutinents.

Set to the life affirming rhythms of varied religious rituals and nature's own raw beat, Baruka is a visualization of the interconnectedness humans share with the earth. Spanning such diverse locales as China, Brazil, Kuwait and major U.S. and European sites, among others, Baruka captures not only the harmony, but also the calamity that humans and nature have visited upon the earth....

I'll tell ya about the other dvd later....

For shopping, you can go down Richmond for a lot of bargain stores. Lots of restraunts down Richmond too. If ya wanna go see a movie, the is a movie theatre on Dunvale which intersects with Richmond. There's also a few museums here: Musuem of Fine Arts and Museum of Natural Science. Natural Science has a lot of neat exhibits, like Imaxes and the Cockrell Butterfly Center. Not too expensive. The Menille(sp?) Museum is free; it's a display of Dominique Menille's personal art collection. If you want attractions that are more specific to your liking, just respond.
As for Churches, We have St. Sava which is Serbian. St. Michael the Archangel is OCA. Annunciation is a Greek Cathedral and there's 3 Antiochian Churches: St. George, St. Joseph, and Forty Holy Martyrs. I attend St. George...so go there and meet me! For directions/addresses, IM me or email me and I will give them to you
