That is something I never want to do. Of course they wouldn't know but maybe on my part it is a realization that we don't know that many people here well who would know better than to ask such a question. Here is the story in Digg, there is an interesting comment from an acquaintance in Portugal. http://digg.com/travel_places/July_4th_in_Toulouse_France It wasn’t like they wanted to do laps with the flag waving in the wind, but we were asked if we wanted to hold the flag for the photos.

Bush talks about having been a heavy drinker but Sarko is still aheavy drinker. There is another video recently where he clearly sounds drunk while at an important conference. I don't really care but he does look rather stupid. Well that and he doesn’t talk about religion so much, thank god, pun intended.

I had looked into edufire before but decided it was too much for not enough bang. Sorry, what the hell is Esperanto, at the risk of sounding ignorant(er)? If you are looking for free language learning resources I would suggest Livemocha, thanks cha cha fance and her webtools blog for the tip. If you are going to spend any money at all on language learning I highly recommend Rosetta Stone, it's expensive but I have not found anything close to what it offers. Maybe I will put an affiliate link to the body. Hmm, not sure whether or not to consider the following comments spam or not.

I hope it pays okay, but I have no idea what kind of pay scales hey have over here. The way people spend money in the shopping malls here, the pay can't be too bad.
