But I still dislike riding the subway and find it to be a somewhat depressing experience. I say as a Vancouverite that's used to looking outside the tram window and seeing the cityscape, the mountainscape, the sky and the horizen, and the ocean. In contrast, looking outside the subway tram window, all I can see is the dark, gray tunnel wall. To make matters worse, during peak hours, the trams can get so crammed that I'm squished in every direction by people, and often pushed up right against the tram door.

A very unusual selfie's dominating the Rio Olympics tweets, and is a selfie by South and North Korean Olympic gymnasts that's been around since Friday. And I'm sure you've seen it, have you? ("Yes, I have.") That's very cute. The female athletes were talking and laughing before competing to qualify for the artistic women's gymnastics. And the North Hong Un-jong advanced to the next level, but the South Lee Eun-ju didn't. "Well, I see the selfie; I did see that. But tell us about how the photo came out to be trending on social media." Sure, it seems like President of Eurasia Group Ian Bremmer is the one who made it visible on Twitter.
