Britishness

Just a little FYI tidbit: In the UK there is one security camera for every 12 people, the highest rate in the world. Everyday 190 different cameras watch you and most of your day spent on CCTV.

I bet George Orwell is rolling over in his grave.

I went to Society Fair, which is like SAC Fair and joined up for the Hayek and Italian Societies, and Pulse Radio, which is LSE's radio station. I might be able to do tech work and DJ again which would be fun. It was really sad to see that at LSE all the extracurriculars are run independent of LSE (the Student Union here is actually a separate legal entity) and they collect dues and fund themselves. It's really too bad Georgetown keeps such a tightfisted and stifling control over its clubs. I think I will find out more info and write an editorial to The Hoya, little good that may do.

The last group I joined was, The Isle of Wight Society. A interesting lad by the name of Ben, a native of that nice Isle, really convinced me to sign up, despite my reluctance to join a group of such dubious nature and purpose. Especially if one of your biggest members is a Canadian from outside Toronto. After signing up, I realized this was a man club with a bunch of fun hooligans (sorry Isle of Wight people if you are reading this!) but a good excuse to meet British people and other nationals like Czechs, get around London, learn the roads, and go to pubs to get sloshed on red bull and bourbon, or just pints. Either way, it's going to be fun.
