Author: Ian (Australia) [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 02:05:29 11/03/04 Wed I have vague plans to spend at least a semester there in the next few years when I start my doctorate. UBC is an interesting option, because it has a Centre for Australian Studies (where I'm sure I could continue my literature studies) and a Centre of International Relations (my wife's field).

There is a lot happening on this coast Ian so UBC is a worthy idea I would suggest. Both UBC and University of Victoria (My alma) are getting bigger in Pacific Studies I'm Biology and my wife is PhD Anthropology from UBC. We could use your brand of political intelligence and activism. You might be interested in knowing that our ski hills are crawling with Aussies working to stay around the Mountains and the Coast. Between that and the British influence, Captains Cook and Vancouver not to mention the Pacific we'll probably be able to make you feel right at home - except, perhaps sadly that it a beautiful Autumn day with golden leaves and frost covering the fields. Isn't it fgreat to think in terms of the "sun never setting...." and all that.

I love the world view the Empire and the Commonwealth have given us.
