In Flanders Fields

In Flanders fields the poppies blow

 Between the crosses, row on row,

 That mark our place; and in the sky

 The larks, still bravely singing, fly

 Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago

 We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset…

Since I am a proud Argentinian and I come of a land with a rich history and a beautiful language, I've decided to start teaching private lessons at my place. I can also go to the student's place if it's convenient for him/her.

The studying program includes:

- Learning grammar in an easy and very comfortable way for English speakers.

- Composition and everyday conversation

- Learning through songs, games, videos, ppt's, images and all sorts of…

All I can say is ... you have GOT to be kidding!!

I have to renew mine in early 2013. I'm looking at 1000 RMB to go to Beijing, 800 for the hotel, a 1000 to come back to Changchun, 1600 RMB for the 10-year passport, and another 2800 to make the trip 10 days later to pick it up.…

The comments are as good as the article!

The fictional superhero's alter ego Clark Kent, who has been working as a reporter on The Daily Planet since the 1940’s, leaves the newspaper business after becoming discontent with the state of 21st century journalism.

Instead Clark Kent is expected to start the next big online blog as a roving citizen journalist,

‘He is more likely to start the next Huffington Post or the next Drudge Report than he is to go find someone else to get assignments…

The one thing that has become abundantly clear from reading Rod Stewart’s riotous autobiography is that despite the ludicrous tartan trews, big nose and wild lifestyle, an awful lot of women have found him utterly irresistible. 

Rod courted them, adored them and did everything he could to prove to them that he…

My buddy UK David gives his take on CCTV DIALOGUE talk show host Yang Rui....

Back in Changchung and ready for the cold winter.

Editior’s note: I started with this idea several days ago when John and I were discussing something about Changchun and China. I felt it a helpful and practical idea to edit a weekly report on what’s going on in the City of Not-That-Spring and China. Each issue consisted of local news and the hottest key words searched by millions of Chinese on Baidu.com will be posted on every Friday night or Saturday morning.  

Useful Local…

Which player will get the most points?

This is my favourite sporting competition and has really grown over the last 10 years into a pulsating event.

I reckon Colsaerts of Team Europe will come out top - he is the World's Matchplay champion and probably the longest hitter from the drive.

Somewhere, in a big country, located between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, a person wondered, to a bunch of other people, of journalistic persuasion, who had  microphones and notepads, for reporting what may possibly be of journalistic importance to the masses ... "Why is it that you can't roll down the windows on an atmospheric conveyance vehicle?"

Very soon I'm leaving changchun and I want to get rid of the following stuff:
