		<title>learning Mandarin</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
It&#8217;s been two months and the experience has been truly wonderful. Being called &#8216;banana&#8217; or fear thereof is more than a stone&#8217;s throw away. A friend of mine told me two reasons why Chinese generally have higher IQ than the rest-they are forced to compete from young age to attain a better education due to [...]]]></description>

		<title>spanning three continents&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is one thing that i love about traveling &#8211; you meet people who are in the same elated mood like you have. Positive thinking and attitudes all the way through &#8211; no matter what happened. Pickpocket &#8211; just a small incident, falling off the bridge while getting drunk &#8211; it&#8217;s part of the experience, [...]]]></description>

		<title>the transiberian adventure</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wake up call from the hotel was 5am. Headed to the Beijing Railway Station by cab. The cabbie told me the meter wasn&#8217;t working and asked for 25 yuan. I negotiated down to 20 yuan &#8211; in reality it probably costs 15-17 yuan. And It was pouring cats and dogs &#8211; the first time i [...]]]></description>

Me: You work really hard
Hostel Lady: Pardon me?
Me: You work really [...]]]></description>
