		<description><![CDATA[I have realized I&#8217;m not going to go back to keep this blog updated, and I am really not going to manage to go through the more than 20.000 spam comments (!!) either. So I am doing the right thing and shutting it down (very soon).
Thank you to the handful of people who kept in [...]]]></description>

But both consistently come out on top of quality of life rankings and are top destinations for tourists and immigrants. So where should one go to live? Having just [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve (me + fiance Angela) just moved to Amsterdam for work after living in Sydney for three years.  Angela has her blog Amsterdamned set up, and have already got a nice little observation about the nice liberal attitudes in Amsterdam versus the comparatively rather stifling Sydney. We&#8217;re set up in a business suite apartment [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Although the more whiny forums about dutch living claim otherwise, dutch food turns out to be surprisingly delicious.  Not particularly spicy (not at all, actually), but with plenty of comfort for a hungry soul - or just as a sidedish for a cold Heineken - which thankfully seems to be a important role of [...]]]></description>

But that does not mean there was no travelling - since the last post I&#8217;ve travelled more along the New South Wales coastline of [...]]]></description>

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>
