I saw about 10 students who looked like to be in their twenties, all sitting in their chairs. The coach was standing in front of them making some kind of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here is my latest fish-joke. It was Chinese New Year last week. My colleague of Mexican origin instant-messaged me: &#8216;新年好&#8217; (good New-Year). Obviously, he had been playing around with Google Translate. So I challenged him that, with the help of Google Translate, he should not have any more excuse not to chat with me in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This story just came out today.
“A cunning pilot thwarted a hijacking by discreetly warning the passengers in French — a language the gunman didn&#8217;t speak — that he would knock the attacker off-balance with a rough landing, and that they should be ready to pounce.”
Note the irony that the hijacker wants to go to France, [...]]]></description>

Although I discourage my fellow-bloggers to provide machine-translation links to their pages, from a reader&#8217;s point of view, I do find the existence of these links very meaningful. Indeed, they are extremely entertaining!
This site has just installed a WordPress plugin called the Global Translator, as described [...]]]></description>

“Chips, please”, I replied.
It was a couple of years ago, when I and some colleagues got sent down to the U.S. for a project. There we were in a restaurant in an old town in the middle of nowhere, somewhere in the New [...]]]></description>
