Olympus E-P1 Micro Four Thirds digital camera - part 2 - the basics {Gadling}
Jun 18th 2009 3:30PM I am so jealous - I've got a handful of 1960s and 70s Olys just cos I love the styling so much. I REALLY want one of these, but they're not available in the UK yet.

Will single women ever be able to travel to Saudi Arabia? {Gadling}
Mar 12th 2008 2:34PM I didn't think they let tourists in, full stop. You have to go to Saudi on business to get in.

I could happily spend a week in the souk there, it's like going back to the 12th century and the locals are super-friendly. Or for a real hardcore adventure, drive there across the desert!

Mar 2nd 2008 4:51PM Every french person I know just says use the one that feels right - some words just don't flow right (la france or le france, which trips off the tounge better?) with the wrong gender and the more you use french, the more you get a feel for this flow
Although they did tell me that foreign words in french (le piquenique, le weekend) are always masculine.

Driving in Europe: Tips from Budget Travel {Gadling}
Feb 21st 2008 12:48PM whoa, the road signs aren't in a foreign language. When you're in a different country the foreigner is you.

Feb 20th 2008 1:16PM 'home of the brave' indeed. If you lot get proper scared we're really in trouble.
