    Basically, they think you're really good.

    What's the long story about Hop's last name?

    I believe the story goes that his great grandfather was an opium importer, and that he got tired of dealing with customs trying to pronounce his last name, so he changed it to the closset english version.......... I think in reallity he just decided to change it to a smily face.

    ...and now that it's "simple", hop still spends more time explaining that it's actually just one letter than it would to spell the old name...

    se sont de tres belles photos. j'aime bien les commentaires, sa m'inspire maintenant que je suis de retour dans le nord-ouest.

    et croire que la derniere fois que j'ai vecu a Vancouver, j'ai passe 5 ans sans jamais faire un tour a Baker. impardonable.
