My hogwon is coloring several blown-up maps to hang in the classrooms. We have North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia, and the United States up close.

There was a blown-up of Canada that no one wanted, and I gather, the director was simply going to pitch it. So I volunteered to color Canada, and now it's going to stay.

Sorry, couldn't do anything for the Aussies or New Z. They apparently don't exist anymore...

I enjoyed Quebec. Very cultural. I immediately felt like I was in a different world when I heard French music being blasted from a bar there.
