Okay...I retract the question I asked on another thread.

I could say, "planning transport systems", but I haven't lowered myself THAT far yet.

So instead I'll say, who knows? Something to do with geography. And I hate geography. Urghhhhh *shudders*

Secondly....2 hour lectures are evil!! :dong:

They are the norm here! :wink:

Transport systems planning Ali? Will you be working down at the bus station when you get back, getting rid of all the charvas who hang out down there at night and are violent?

2 hour lectures are the norm here too, although lots of the lecturers let you have a break in the middle after an hour.

Imagine 2 hours of Arabic with a man saying "naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan" at you over and over again and then speaking to you in arabic and expecting you to just understand. It's awesome! :biggrin:

Especially since he loves me because I'm English and can pronounce a 'th' sound unlike the French who say it as 'sss'. Hehe.

Assessing issues in transportation planning and methodologies. Policies and technology that's been used to try and solve problems. Mathematical and computer modelling and various other complicated things. Not a barrel of laughs, but pretty good.

Fire alarm at 3.10am this morning.......... followed by a lecture about malicious alarms by the fireman, not good. Didn't really want to be woken up in the middle of the night. Oh well.
