		<description><![CDATA[At the western end of the Amazon river, where Peru, Brazil and Colombia meet, there is a conglomeration of strange little jungle towns. On the far south-eastern corner of Colombia, the city of Leticia borders directly with the Brazilian city of Tabatinga and together they make up a local hub for trade and tourism - [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Warning: This post contains pictures of a monster tearing to pieces a dead carcass. This is a long needed departure from nerdy search engines, weekend trips to the coastal towns and the German beer-vacations. This is a picture from a far more adventurous undertaking. Back in 2005 my friend Jon and I went to the little [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The destination research tool is a quick little structured metasearch for looking up information on destinations in a really fast way. Just try it by typing in a destination above. It should be pretty self-explainatory, but it&#8217;s just a conceptual prototype/mashup now, so I&#8217;ll explain the intentions. I could even need some help to make [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is from a really short weekend trip down the New South Wales coast of Australia. Seen with local eyes, this isn&#8217;t a very large outing, but for me most everything down under has something exotic or at least interesting to it. Actually, it might not be that everyday for the locals either: With every [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Kookaburras - they&#8217;re about as Australian as the kangaroo. Pelicans may not be equally antipodean, but that doesn&#8217;t detract from their appeal - they just set off a lot of images of Hemingway in the Florida Keys for me. They&#8217;re the hallmark of deep sea fishing and slightly drunken adventures in the tropics. The following [...]]]></description>

As mentioned earlier, this may be helpful in estimating expected culture shock when entering a new country - furterhmore, and this is what it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bremen, Germany, doesn&#8217;t stand out as a top destination, or even an alternative to consider in where to go for a vacation. The city is, however, a major destination for Ryanair in Europe. And that, in combination with probably not being particularly high on anyone&#8217;s list, makes it both a cheap and available place to [...]]]></description>

Although not mentioned in the blog post, my girlfriend mentioned in the comment section that we got food poisoning. And we certainly did, we actually ended up having to go [...]]]></description>

Zeitlin at City University of New York wrote a report on how to estimate the severity of culture shock. By using measurements of common cultural values taken from a business study of over 160.000 employees in 53 different countries, he extracted [...]]]></description>
