		<title>Question: Can I learn a little French before my trip to France</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I got a new idea.. since there hasn&#8217;t been much activity on the site, I haven&#8217;t been posting!  It&#8217;s quite simple really, with 2 kids, work, and a career change in progress, it&#8217;s hard to dovote time to the blog if I&#8217;m not seeing any evidence that people are reading it.
So, if you&#8217;re out [...]]]></description>

		<title>Customer service at Darty</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We were looking at microwaves last weekend and we went to Darty, one of the biggest electronics stores here in France that is known for their customer service.
We debated between two models and after discussing with the salesman, we opted for the more expensive model (350 euros).  The salesman looks it up on the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Just for fun</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ok, after a long vacation from the blog I&#8217;m back at it.  That Seattleite in Paris really scored big because my post about her blog was on the top spot for a long time.  The bill is in the mail.
One of the reasons I hadn&#8217;t updated my blog was because I was in [...]]]></description>

		<title>A new blog from a Seattleite in Paris</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t get many comments   but when I do I always read them and if there is a link, I check out the person&#8217;s site.  I recently got one from someone (anonymous like me) who has started a blog titled &#8220;A Seattleite in Paris&#8221;.  There are only a few entries, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Another strike</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s hard to believe that almost a month has gone by without an update on the blog.  And what a coincidence that my previous post was about the transportation strike, and there is another one scheduled for Wednesday.  The next one is supposed to be serious, because a week later there is a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Transportation strike stops Paris to a crawl</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I was looking forward to my badminton match tonight when I get a call from my wife.  &#8220;The strikes starts tonight at 8pm, not tomorrow!&#8221; she says.  So I look on the net, all I find are details about the schedule tomorrow.  I ask my coworkers and they confirm.  I send [...]]]></description>

		<title>Polish beatles</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Eating my lunch on a park bench in Paris today, I was thinking I should write more about little day to day stuff.  But then  I realized that my day to day is actually pretty boring and who wants to read that?  Anyway, let&#8217;s give it a try, and don&#8217;t say I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Crazy lady on the metro</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Darn, I should have taken a photo with my mobile.  Anyway, here goes:
Riding the metro is rarely fun.  The SDF (Sans Domicile Fixe - this term literally means &#8220;without a permanent address&#8221;, it&#8217;s part of an attempt to restore dignity to everyone, even the homeless) get on the metro and then they&#8217;ve got [...]]]></description>

		<title>Doctors, August, and the ER</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First sorry for the lack of updates.  It&#8217;s been a very busy 3 weeks since my daughter was born.  She just fell asleep after her 6am bottle, which gives me some time to update the site before I drift off into unconsciousness.
Doctors, August, and the ER.  What do these three things have [...]]]></description>

		<title>I am not George Bush</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So on the way home from the hospital this morning (more on that in the next blog entry) we stopped at a boulangerie (bakery).  I went in and did the polite bonjour and then asked for deux bagettes s&#8217;il vous plaît (two baguettes please).  




I&#8217;m not sure how to translate baguette, it&#8217;s the [...]]]></description>
