San Francisco | | | I just moved to Menlo Park a wee ago and would like to have friends that are in the same situation as I am.. I am a finnish student, and here as an Au Pair..
| | A. | my experience as a nanny- in nashville, tn- has been that if you take the kids to daytime activites (the parks, the library story times, museums, etc) chances are great that you'll run into LOTS of other nannies/au pairs. Just listen in on conversations and you'll figure out pretty quickly which kids are with mommy and which are with their nannies! Good Luck! | | | |

Young described the icebergs as uncommon, but said they could become more frequent if sea temperatures rise through global warming.
A long tongue of land that points northwards towards South America, the Antarctic peninsula has been hit by greater warming than almost any other region on Earth.
Yahoo pulled the link
ha hhahahahahahhahaahha
| | A. | first off, ignorance is exhibited by stating icebergs have no connection to global warming. secondly. move the ice cube that is an inch away from the thermometer and move it four inches away it warms cosiderably. but can you believe the sheep that follow the fascist conservative line that burning carbon rich fuels does nothing to the atmosphere. | | | |
| Q. | Cheap accommodation in Malaysia? | Related Search:
Malaysia | | | I want to travel to Malaysia with my friends this summer holiday, I'd been there for a while though but it's been long since so I've lost the track of cheap places to stay. We would hit a tour all around the Peninsula and maybe jump to Sabah and Sarawak as well if we have extra time and cash. Can anyone provide me contacts of budget hotels (around AU$25 a night) in as many places as possible? Please state the location, phone number and room rate as well.
| | A. | There are many reasonable rate budget hotels in Kuala Lumpur as well as in the other towns. They're basic but clean enough. Check out the website/blog below for hotels throughout Malaysia. Hope that helps. | | | |
| Q. | Why hasn't the US stopped the Korean War? What does it have to gain? | Related Search:
Other - Politics & Government | | | A half century ago, the US was unwilling to allow for the democratic self determination of the Korean peninsula and decided instead to set up a dictatorship in the south. What has it had to gain by imposing the division of the peninsula? Why did the US invade Korea when its people were engaged in a civil war over the terms of unification? What does it have to gain?
S. Korea's Pres. asks Bush: Why not stop the Korean War?

"The dictator is in the North, not South."
The US imposed Syngman Rhee over the southern territory it occupied after WWII.
In the North there was a popular movement which fought the Japanese and put Kim il-Sung in power.
During the Cold War, living standards were higher on the North than in the South.
Today, after the fall of the Soviet block and in the face of US bullying, things are much different. Still, one has to wonder why the US is so committed to bullying a tiny country for having a different governing style.
UN acted as a proxy of the US. How else do you explain that the whole affair was directed by Gen. MacArthur?
By the way, I am a history graduate with a particular interest in the Cold War. The formal casus belli was a N. Korean incursion into S. Korea. Yet very many incursions had occurred before the one which ignited the war. In fact, both sides had invaded each other plenty and had been involved in many skirmishes before. Why did the US invade when it looked like the North would win?
I reiterate, the Soviets withdrew leaving a domestic government in power. The US never left and put up and unpopular and brutal dictator.
I suggest you stop believing the lies of the same people who invented the Tonkin incident and the Iraqi WMD's.
| | A. | Let me get this right, North Korea was invading South Korea, but in reality it was the U.S. that was posing the threat to democratic self determination and the invavion from the north was merely a dispute over the terms of unification?? Where do you get this nonsense?
S. Korea asked the U.S. for support against the North, that is why we got involved. The U.S. asked the U.N. to get involved.
It is not up to the U.S. to "End the War"... it is up the U.N. and also up to North Korea.
Personally, I think the U.S. should get out of Korea. Our presence there is no longer appreciated by the South. If N. Korea takes that as a sign of weakness and decides to invade the South again, I'm sure the South can take care of themselves. If not, oh well. On the other hand, maybe it would allow an opportunity for the 2 sides to improve their relations with each other. But alas, such a simple solution is probably not possible, because other allies in the region are scared to death of North Korea, and such a move would endanger them. | | | |
| Q. | Would you take a cruise in Haiti this week? | Related Search:
Current Events | | | It's a debate that's been raging ever since Royal Caribbean resumed bringing vacationers to Haiti after last week's earthquake, which killed tens of thousands of people in and around the capital of Port-au-Prince.
Royal Caribbean deposits the tourists on the picturesque peninsula of Labadee, which was unaffected by the disaster and where the company has spent millions of dollars on what it calls its own "private paradise."
Blogs and message boards have been full of outrage and disgust at the idea of tourists frolicking in the sun while bodies pile up in Port-au-Prince and quake survivors struggle to stay alive. "Having a beach party while people are dead, dying and suffering minutes away hardly makes me want to cruise that particular line," wrote another.
Experts in ethics and sustainable tourism said that kind of reaction is natural and understandable, but they urged people to look deeper at the issue and consider the benefits of tourism for Haiti now and beyond.
"Monies that are coming in as part of tourism are going to trickle down throughout the local economy at a time when the local people need it the most," said Brian Mullis, president of Sustainable Travel International, a nonprofit organization that promotes responsible travel.
What would you do ?

| | A. | Personally I'd find it a deeply uncomfortable experience. I understand the need to keep the economy going, let's face it they need it now more than ever but I wouldn't be able to party on and enjoy my holiday while being aware of the huge scale of human misery going on in the same place. I'd rather forgo the holiday and spend my time there helping the relief effort and donating any money I would have spent to help the victims. | | | |

Languages | | | Please can someone help me check my paragraph:
Au mois de mai je suis fait du camping en France avec mes amies. Nous avons voyagé en avion et nous avons loué une voiture. Nous sommes restés en Bretagne. C’est une péninsule de l'ouest de la France. La région était intéressante et pittoresque. Nous fait bagne sur la mer et bain de soleil. Nous joué volley sur la plage. Nous visité un cathédral, c’était très magnifique. J’ai mangé sandwich au jambon. J’aime faire du camping parce que c’étais très amusant et il est une nouvelle expérience. Je n’aime mouches. L’année prochaine je visitais les Etats-Unis avec mon famille.
It is meant to say:
In May I went camping in France with my friends. We traveled by plane and we rented a car. We stayed in Brittany. It is a peninsula in western France. The area is interesting and picturesque. We swam in the sea and sunbathed. We played volleyball on the beach. We visited a cathedral, it was very beautiful. I ate a ham sandwich. I like to go camping because it was very fun and it is a new experience. But I hate the flies. Next year I will visit the United States with my family.
Please may you point out any errors and help me to correct them ?
THANKYOU X
| | A. | Hi, looks good but i would recommend saying j'ai aimé faire du camping parce que c’était... instead of j’aime faire du camping parce que c’étais...
i just think it makes more sense, if not then make sure that when you say it was you put a t on the end of c’était
also:
we swam is nous avons nagé
je visitais means i would visit, i will visit is je visiterai
hope that helps :)
