Where were you last night?

Nothing much has changed in my nights. A decade ago when I couldn't sleep, I read and chain smoked. Today the scene is still drowsily familiar except that I am happy being insomniac by choice. And with the cigarettes gone, I read from a screen. The fun I find is immense and really strong against drooping eyelids. These are 13 sites this week that are keeping me up til midnight and often the wee hours of the morning:

1. London Met (conversion qualifications)

2. Just Landed (guide to living abroad)

3. About Germany (general info on Germany)

4. Campus France (Education in France)

5. Expatriates (All you need to live, work and study abroad)


7. hotcourses (the UK's largest course finder)


9. Technische Universitat Kaiserslautern (International School for Graduate Studies)



12. AUSTENPROSE (A daily celebration of the brilliance of Jane Austen's writing)

13. Classical Archives (the largest classical music site on the internet)

Friday's Fave Five: Regency Period Cake Please scroll down for Mommy Moments Ambience of Banana Leaf Restaurant dinners continue to be the trend for us this week. Rustic charm has always been a big hit to me and Banana Leaf's got it. Buckets of real wheat, garlic and pumpkin hang adorning the wall. Plus the sweet and sour fish and chicken with cashew nuts and mushroom are a real pleasure. J Lo Live This was a gift to me two years ago. Cj is too young to be choosy with scents. He smiles playfully when I spray it on him and I laugh inwardly thinking he is a boy wearing a girl's perfume. This week we both smell the same :) Cyberbanking I finally dragged documents and myself down K Bank to register for online financial transactions. Spending only what I earn suits me best as I avoid debts and the convenience of sorting expenses any time of day in familiar surrounding is always welcome.

Whisper your wishes

Cross-cultural misunderstandings are rife among gestures of beckonings and farewells in different parts of our planet. For example, the American gesture for "come here" could mean "good-bye" to Italians. Axtell (1998) observes, "the way people beckon one another around the world can be almost as diverse as the way we greet and bid farewell to one another." Today we look into popular hand gestures to signal farewells and to beckon. 1. In the United States , common gesture for getting someone's attention, as when calling a waiter is to raise a hand about head high with the index finger raised (exactly the girl's hand gesture on Samulli's header ) If an American used that gesture to a waiter in Germany , saying "Water please," the German waiter would bring two glasses of water In Japan it is rude; pointing a finger at anyone is considered impolite 2. Italians and Greeks will often wave goodbye with the arm extended, palm up,...
