243
There is an internet rumour that 47 graduated 243rd out of 366 at business school. We don’t know that, it’s just a rumour. What is certain is that he didn’t graduate top of his class, contrary to what he claims. I previously thought that we should call him 47 because he’s the 47th president of […]

Photos
These are all the photos I’ve posted on my blog. My favourite things to take photos of are mountains and waterfalls. Washington State I’ve made a bunch of trips to Washington State, where I have relatives. These 2 are trips where I was gone for a week and a half and saw lots of amazing […]
The two funniest plays I saw live
I’ve seen a few plays here and there but the two that stick out in my mind were extremely funny. The Frogs by Aristophanes Aristophanes is an ancient Greek playwright who wrote comedies and we have 11 of them still. There was music included at the time but that music has been lost. Even if […]
