In my third and last lecture I will try to compare the countries, Canada and Germany. I will focus on my personal experiences and concentrate on specific examples. Topics include random themes, such as trains, beer, and nature. I will conclude with a discussion about the question if you should visit Frankfurt in Germany.
From the Un-Distinguished Lecture Series (http://ws.cs.ubc.ca/~udls/). The talk was given Jul. 6, 2007.
