Sometimes I forget I'm in a foreign country. And then I see things like this to remind me:
"Newnham Rec will be holding tryouts for its Extramural Cricket team beginning Thursday Sept. 20 from 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Selected players will compete against other colleges in Seneca's Extramural Cricket Tournament Thursday Sept. 27. "
This is from a notice posted on the electronic bulletin board for students at my school. A cricket tournament. I can't even imagine the levels of boredom that must involve. I shouldn't be as surprised as I am, though, considering that a lot of the kids in my building were playing cricket out on the front lawn during the summer. Still, it makes me chuckle, as one more reminder of Canada's British heritage.
