Yet another weekend over

It has been a busy weekend. We spent yesterday morning on the beach, when weatherman's prediction turned wrong and it was sunny and hot. It's quite interesting, observing people and see what kind of groups they form. When we came in before noon there were basically two groups of people: single men and women in twos. Some couples and families - but girls were almost always there with their girlfriens, and men were alone. After noon the groups of young men started to come by - but still the different sexes came separately. Difficult to say - some people (or should I say single men) complain that Vancouver women are too difficult to please - but I think it's more of a general western world phenomenon. Hundred years ago women couldn't lead indipendent lives so they had to marry to get "ahead" in life - now when women can choose, they often choose to be single rather than be in an unsatisfying relationship. (For some reason this seems to irriate some men, like women had some kind of obligation to pair up and deliver the goods. Personally I find that kind of attitude depressing. Go figure.)

In the evening we went to see some quality wrestling - I was going to write about it here, but it turned out to be rather long so I made a separate entry of it that you can read if you're interested.

Today has been a very peaceful day - chatting to Chu in the morning, napping during the day and a yoga attempt in the evening (teacher didn't turn up), topped up with some delicious pork chops by Dragon. Although we didn't get a yoga class we got a long nice walk and sunset on the beach, and some really good conversation about future plans.
