		<title>Free Communists Caught Somewhere Between NY And SF (Friendship! Movie)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The greeting &#8220;Friendship!&#8221; (for &#8220;Freundschaft&#8221;) was taught in English class in Eastern Germany; and that was about it. But turns out, this is not enough in the capitalist vastness of America. With government money to introduce &#8220;Ossis&#8221; (Eastern Germans) to the world of the free, two friends want to make their way to San Francisco. [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s A Small World After All</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While I realize that smallworld.ch is a Swiss initiative for better English language skills, it may as well as be addressed to inertia-laden Austrians. Of course, this is the national motion known as Gemütlichkeit among Austrianos who just don&#8217;t realize that it is a small place we are living and every once in a while one [...]]]></description>

		<title>Can&#8217;t Get It Out Of There</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just lost 2 minutes of my life that I will never ever get back.
And yes, someone actually made the effort to register raraahahahromaromamagagaoohlala.com, coded a web page in order to show of the infinite loop of those more than less empty syllables. What&#8217;s more is that I made the time to actually post this on here, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Crawling For The Right Flight</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While cramming for exams take up most of the time here, I&#8217;m crawling the interwebs for the right flight this summer. Check out this list for search engines that magically spit out the cheapest offers of all airlines known to human kind.

		<title>What To Do With A Layover In Paris?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With a 15 hours layover in Paris, fellow blogger Josh Leo produced this impressive video showing what one can make out of 15 hours in Paris. Now I think I really have to go there. There&#8217;s no way around it. Especially now that I had a chance to brush up my French. Une reservation d&#8217;une [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stumbled Upon This Little Card Here</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ordered this sweet postcard way back in November. I accidentally mailed it to my parents house and therefore have forgotten about it. However, packing up to go back to Vienna for university after Christmas break, I stumbled over this little post card here. It&#8217;s a great picture. I love it.
Too bad I can&#8217;t use it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Baby, Light My Fire</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just received my Amazon Kindle 2. Let me get back to you on that one once I had the chance to fiddle around with it so I can give you a deeper review than that it&#8217;s white, light and thin.

		<title>The New One&#8217;s A Good One (Flipsaver)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At least for screensaving Mac users this year could not have started better. All I thought was &#8220;Finally!&#8221; because I was about to do the same as Andy. Take things in my own hand, that is, after my favorite screen saver couldn&#8217;t make the jump to Snow Leopard. But it&#8217;s time to calm down for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Simply The Best of &#8216;09 and &#8217;00s (A Rewind)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It takes a historian to define thee moment of the noughties*, so all I can really do is try. Therefore I&#8217;d like to mention a couple of decade-defining keywords such as learning to live with the 9/11 aftermath, overcoming teenage angst in high school, moving my body to MGMT, watching a black US President&#8217;s inauguration, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Should We Be Offended?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[And by we, I mean our current society that relies on the internet 24/7? We google, check Wikipedia and surf up dictionary.com every single time we need to check a fact or look up the meaning of a word. Memorizing? Why bother! There&#8217;s the internet for that, right?
Today&#8217;s hush-hush standards suggest that reading a book [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Lost Symbol&#8217;s Hard To Crack</title>

		<title>Ein Perfekter Tag? (A Perfect Lie)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We have talked about the Austrian advertising landscape before, haven&#8217;t we? There is this fairly new commercial by Generali on TVs in Austria. Whoever worked behind the curtains of this commercial must have seen those Fifty People One Question videos that I always enjoy watching. There&#8217;s a certain resemblance, is there not?

		<title>So Long, My American Friends</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ll start with a little anecdote taken straight out of my life in order to wave goodbye to my temporarily-Viennese-American friends.

Chilling by the water in Miami beach last summer, I ran into a Hispanic family. They chatted me up by starting with something like, &#8220;Where you&#8217;re from? You can&#8217;t be American reading a book on [...]]]></description>
