		<description><![CDATA[I have realised that it has been some months since I have updated this blogsite. Have been somewhat busy the latter part of 2011. As I sit at Sydney Airport, ready to board my Qantas flight to London, it is only fitting that I should resume blogging. For it was in Europe where this site [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I went cycling in Sydney with my good friend Aaron. It was the first time I had cycled in the CBD. We started from Town Hall, rode via Oxford Street, then a few laps around Centennial Park and ended up in Waverley for a BBQ and to watch the AFL Grand Final. As mentioned previously, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From late last month, London got its own Cycle Hire Scheme. I wrote about my experiences using the one in Paris previously. Since then I have also used a similar scheme in Stockholm, Trondheim, and seen it in use in Washington DC. I love cycling and the verb is synonyms with The Netherlands. My previous posts (and here) [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today marks the 70th anniversary of General de Gaulle&#8217;s BBC broadcast to the French people. Even though they were under Nazi occupation, he urged that &#8220;the flame of French resistance must not, and will not be extinguished.&#8221; When I am in London, I often stay at the Naval &#38; Military, on 4 St James Square.

		<description><![CDATA[Gulliver, the business travel blog of The Economist, had this nifty visualisation of the distruption to air travel caused by Iceland&#8217;s Eyjafjallajökull last month. There has been some interesting &#8216;attempts&#8217; to pronounce Eyjafjallajökull. The ABC&#8217;s MediaWatch had the Eyjafjallajökull Challenge. Sandi Toksvig on BBC Radio 4 News Quiz pronounced it correctly. And now Matt Gibson, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week, The Economist&#8217;s Charlemagne blog has a very good list of European related news sources. Titled A tentative EU reading list it lists a collection of newspapers, blogs and books on European politics. The International Herald Tribune is an interesting addition. Though there is an &#8216;European Edition&#8217; to me it seems like a rehash [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[John Pilger is clearly an idiot. His opinion piece earlier this month is a testament to that. This man has been suffering from delusions of grandeur. This ageing Communist dinosaur is happy to criticise the Australian Government in the use of detention centres for illegal immigrants-cum-asylum seekers and call them concentration camps. Yet he refuses [...]]]></description>

I would have boarded a dimly lit carriage, settled into a comfy seat with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[No doubt the media will be covering the 20th Anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall today. A very important and symbolic day. But there are still some walls that continue divide people. But are the events of 1989 of world historical importance? I would think so. But Niall Ferguson writes that &#8220;1989 was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I believe in the complete separation of Church and State. The recent ruling by the European Court of Human Rights is quite welcome. State schools, that are schools funded by the tax payer, should &#8220;observe confessional neutrality.&#8221; Sadly this enlighten view of religion (or the lack thereof) in the public space is yet to reach [...]]]></description>
