So I go to China for a month and come back to what? A damned transit strike? Are you kidding me? I have to work on Tuesday morning, flush with jetlag! I can’t drive. I can’t bike. My eyesight doesn’t allow for those sorts of luxuries.
I can’t leave you people alone for a fucking day without shit going wrong, can I? I should just stay here… I’ll trade sit down toilets for good transit any day. —中断

Those toilets are better for you too. I wish we had the option to stand here. China does a lot of things right, but a whole lot more wrong.
beats my trip out west in… ’04 I believe…
flew out to vancouver for a week… and arrived the day after their transit strike started.
Gotta say, I didn’t get to see a whole lot of the city…
but the parts around the hotel, well I knew them pretty damn well after that suck-taculous week.
“I can’t leave you people alone for a fucking day without shit going wrong, can I?” Le chuckle, I must say I enjoyed that line op.
什么一样,中断的巴士服务?

That’s all I can say in Chinese. I figure I better at least be able to ask for food and compliment someone if I find myself stuck somewhere in China, or the South End of Halifax.
well, your highness, if you would have stayed put, this shit would not have happened at all. we need your omnipotence to let us lackies run our miserable serf lives for you. please be more curtious in fture, by not going away again, and everything will be just, honky dorey.
LMFAO Mel. We don’t miss Sebaceous that much. You don’t have to take up the slack. >; )
OK OP……..Yes, it is all your fault. ***wink***
If you can afford to go to china, then you must be able to afford a taxi. Unless, you were so reckless to spend your last fourty dollars on your trip to china, if so, you reap what you so
will blame you for everything, okay ob? dal may go on strike, that’s your fault too^^
you should contact the union..they are looking for someone new to blame.
haha! OMF you guys it’s just a joke 😀
I just don’t want to come home.
How is the strike going? I fly into halifax at 2am on Sunday morning… In beijing now.
and yeah.. i can afford to cab it for a few days but it bugs me to have to pay for one after a long trip where i DID spend a little more than i had planned to. I’m not the best negotiator in the world.
I’d like to come home to a completed strike but at least I don’t have the expense of a bus pass this month. Given all the treking i’ve been doing, i might just walk to work for awhile. Can’t hurt..
That is the spirit Kramer & welcome home on Sunday!!
i_k, why the hell did you go to china, there are enough chinese people here to make life interesting. just kidding babe, hurry home, we misses ya.
If one can afford to go China then he can afford taxi
