The suggest by Roger Simon that bloggers refuse to blog the Beijing Olympics reminds me of Carter and '76 -- accomplishing little and just punishing the athletes which is unfair. I'd say the better solution would be to do what bloggers are good at: Keep a close watch on China's attempts to white-wash itself (so to speak) and play this for propaganda, and pay particular attention to how the press covers it -- their human interest and "educational segments" that will no doubt fill the airwaves during the show. Never miss an opportunity to remind people that these are the children of Mao -- and by extension Stalin -- and what that means.

os voy a contar mi experiencia con eurolingua, la agencia de la avenida de finisterre en coruña para irse a irlanda

unos autenticos hijos de puta, mierda de primera calidad, carlos y su secretaria angeles

cuando llegas alli todo son buenas palabras, risas y compadreos, cuando estas en irlanda, estas solo,
absolutamente tirado

estos hijos de puta trabajan en dublin con el american college, pero vamos por partes...

pedi que me viniese a recoger alguien al aeropuerto para llevarme a mi host family, vale pague 70 eurazos (por todo 1700) por este servicio, ¿y que me encuentro?, que tras dar mas de cuatro y mas de cinco vueltas por llegadas del aeropuerto mi nombre no esta en ningun papelito, bueno vale, llamo al telefono del pavo que me tenia que venir a buscar un irlandés de nombre jonathan, me suelta un rollo en ingles y le digo donde estoy, viene, y me agrupa con otros 10 estudiantes,


que si joder!!! 10, éramos 10, para un solo tío joder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

y para esto pago yo 70 euros?????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

bueno que el pavo me lleva a mi primero a mi host family y deja tirados a los otros 9 durante media hora en el aeropuerto

!¿?!

otra perla más, ninguna llamada desde españa, desde eurolingua, a ver si he llegado bien, o como he llegado, es más,
me prometieron un telefono de emergencia en castellano por si pasaba algo, un número de teléfono QUE NUNCA ME DIERON.

bueno vale, voy al colegio a la mañana siguiente, ni un coordinador de eurolingua, ni un trabajador bilingue de eurolingua,
ni un monitor bilingue (como prometen en su web) ni nada de nada, yo solito contra los irlandeses

la prueba de nivel, es una payasada, 40 preguntas (en realidad 60, pero las 20 últimas no las cuentan ¿?), del tipo
rellena con la palabra que falta, "I have (hueco) in Spain. a) being b) done c) been d) be", y asi hasta 40, en
ningun momento una prueba de nivel oral ni nada parecido, al final, que te meten en una clase con un profesor
irlandes y no te enteras de nada.

vale, me voy a la sala de internet que prometian en españa, 20 ordenadores para cientos de alumnos, algunos de ellos cascados, mal configurados
la mayoria, y sin asistencia tecnica de ningún tipo, genial, no hay messenger, asi que tengo que tirar del messenger
preinstalado de windows xp, a ver si funciona, coño, pues si que parece que funciona


y bueno, por que no hablar de la famosa frase "tu host family te dará las instrucciones para llegar al colegio
al dia siguiente", mi host family era maravillosa, pero las instrucciones habladas y en ingles, ni croquis, ni mapa
ni nada parecido, porque fui con otro estudiante que llevaba alli dos meses, que si no me pierdo

esto no puede ser, voy a hablar con alguien en el colegio, me encuentro con una hija de puta en secretaría, llamada
denise, sabe tres palabras de castellano porque estuvo en españa tres meses, pero de ayudarme como traductora nada de nada
faltaría más, una vez más me las tengo que apañar yo solo


carlos, que eres un hijo de puta y me cago en tu puta madre, ala hijo de puta que te follen

1) You must have Javascript enabled in your browser in order to comment (blame the spammers). If you don't know what that is, you're probably fine.

2) HTML is on, so basic html should work. Raw links will be made auto-clickable, too, so even if you don't know html you can just paste in the link and it should work fine. Keep the "http://" in it.

3) Comments are generally unmoderated, which means I don't necessarily agree with the tone and tenor of everything posted. In fact, sometimes people post things they don't really mean just to make other people look bad. The internet is an anonymous place for the most part. That said...

4) I welcome you to post here. I'd love to have your input, agree, disagree or just offer a different data point, really. If I didn't want any participation, I'd turn off comments. Be aware, however, that this blog and the comments section exist for my entertainment. Therefore, I reserve ALL RIGHTS here, including the right to remove any or all comments on nothing more than a whim. Please don't even bother complaining. I'm the one providing the space and the free news and thought buffet. I don't owe anyone anything.

Anyone who posts here will be treated as my guest. That means I'm happy to be polite as a default, but if anyone is rude to the host they'll be unceremoniously shown the door.

It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."

5) Enjoy your stay!

"Arab nationalism is secular in the sense that it does not derive its political legitimacy from divine revelation, but it is an absolutism nonetheless, enshrining the idea of the eternal and the unchanging not in an omnipotent creator but in the nation."

-Lee Smith, The Strong Horse: Power, Politics, and the Clash of Arab Civilizations, p.39
