		<title>你有没有素食食品吗？</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Nǐ yǒu méiyǒu sùshí shípǐn ma? That&#8217;s what I was trying to say. It&#8217;s supposed to be Chinese for &#8220;Do you have vegetarian food?&#8221; (Actually, I was leaving out the formal greeting&#8221;Ni&#8221; at the beginning and the question word &#8220;ma&#8221; at the end because that&#8217;s what my guide book said.) Who knows what it actually [...]]]></description>

		<title>What if they didn’t care?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What if they didn&#8217;t care is the question Arkady and Boris Strugatsky ask in their short, then Soviet, science fiction novel Roadside Picnic. Here is a world responding to the after-effects of an alien visitation where the aliens haven’t even bothered to say hello. It seems they’ve left behind plenty of inscrutable evidence of their [...]]]></description>

		<title>Best ice cream ever</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Even compared to Italy? That&#8217;s what everyone says when I say Argentina has the best ice cream in the world. Yup. Italian ice is amazing. And it&#8217;s served in more extravagant concoctions than ice cream from an Argentine heladeria (ice cream shop).  Argentine ice cream is obviously influenced by the Italian variety, but where [...]]]></description>

		<title>Because UNESCO told me so</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I feel sorry for Uruguay. I didn&#8217;t see very much of it, and I am quite sure it&#8217;s a lovely place with friendly people, untouched beaches, and plenty to do. And heck, they clearly have some very effective people doing their public relations, because Colonia del Sacramento sure gets raves. It&#8217;s even a UNESCO World [...]]]></description>

		<title>Look, new fonts!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In junior high I decorated my text book covers with hand drawn letters and designs strongly influenced by Manchester designer Peter Saville. Don&#8217;t know him? He created iconic album covers for bands like Ultravox and the famous Joy Division Unknown Pleasures which I still see on t-shirts today. (Isn&#8217;t that an oldie? Get on with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hey, no Big Macs!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Food is one of the joys of travel. Savvy travelers make a point to try local delicacies whether they’re proffered by gourmet restaurants or from street vendors carts. I’ve always favored the street vendors above all, because it is this food that most surely represents what local people eat.
Upon arrival in Buenos Aires we made [...]]]></description>

		<title>It had a pi key!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Thirty years ago,  Commodore announced the world’s most popular computer, the Commodore64. I had a VIC20 at the time and the Commodore64 was as huge an upgrade as any gadget upgrade today. The screen had twice the resolution, and more colors; you could program your own sounds, and, with unbelievably laborious effort, one byte [...]]]></description>

		<title>Replace with black</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Go have a look at this article about Catholic charities pulling out of Illinois because they feel their religious freedom is being trampled. Before you go, do this one thing for me, would you? Replace &#8220;same-sex&#8221; with &#8220;black&#8221; (and, to make the point more clearly, replace &#8220;gay&#8221; with &#8220;negro&#8221;) and read on.
That this is really [...]]]></description>

		<title>Netflix for hotels</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I started traveling to countries far enough away to require a passport, I found places to sleep because they were in an international youth hostel directory. Later, branching out to destinations beyond a widespread network of hostels, I tried guidebooks, and even frequently noticed that touts aren&#8217;t such a bad idea.  All that [...]]]></description>

		<title>How to tango: La Catedral, Buenos Aires</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Subte (Buenos Aires subway) runs only till about 11 at night. Unexpected in a city where people only start going out to dinner at 9:30 and places aren&#8217;t full until 11 when people are still rolling in while tourists like me are finishing dessert (or more likely, long back at the hostel, getting to [...]]]></description>
